<p>Contemporary Post Guidelines<br>LT Kelli Swenson, DC, USN and CAPT Patricia Tordik, DC, USN<br><br>Introduction<br>A post and core is necessary in endodontically treated teeth when there is insufficient tooth structure to support a final restoration. Teeth restored with posts have less tooth structure and reduced fracture resistance. Posts should only be used to retain the core. The purpose of this clinical update is to review modern guidelines for use of and preparation for posts.
