Abstract
Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to analyse the effect of post placement on single unit full coverage restorations in endodontically treated teeth.
Materials and Methods: Published articles related to post placement on single unit full coverage restorations in endodontically treated teeth which includes original research and literature review from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Ovid Medline etc., were taken into the study for review. Articles from 2002 to 2023 were included. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed the quality of the selected studies.
Results: Six studies involving 991 patients were analyzed in this systematic review, which comprised 229 anterior and 910 posterior teeth. The risk of failure or the survival rate was associated with the teeth that had no post placement when the number of coronal walls was less than two. When three or four coronal walls present the success or survival rate seem to be higher with the post placement.
Conclusions: Post-retained crowns are better, post-free crowns may be considered when three or four tooth walls are still present, whereas teeth with one or two remaining walls may be better candidates for post-retained crowns. When the ferrule is absent, prosthetic components may be explored
Keywords: Full coverage crowns, Post placement, Endodontically treated teeth prognosis
