Radiographie evaluation of restaurations of endodontically treated teeth with individual post

Abstract

Timely und quality restauration of endodontically treated teeth is one of the major conditions for success of endodontic therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of individual post cemented in endodontically treated teeth using radiographie parameters. 142 endodontically treated teeth restored with individual posts and permanent prosthetic restaurations were included in the clinical and radiographie research. The results of radiographie analysis reveled correctly made and cemented posts in 64% of the cases, inadequately placed posts in 14,4% and inadequate obturation between the tip of the post and radiographie apex, in 19,9% of the case. As a conclusion, correct course of endodontic treatment, clinicians knowing of anatomomorphological characteristics of root canals, correct gutta-percha removal and clinicians adaptibility to a specific case, are essential for the correct restauration of endodonticaly treated teeth with individual posts.
