Abstract
After complete endodontic filling of the root canals of the devitalized tooth, teeth restoration is very important for maintaining the remaining tooth structure and prevention of tooth fracture. In some endodontic teeth, the use of intracanal posts is important for teeth buildup and retention of the core material. Nowadays, there is a variety in the types of posts and the materials from which the dentist selects the suitable one for each case. This study aims to review the major related researches on this topic with an emphasis on major decision-making elements in post placement and restoration of endodontically treated teeth. A MEDLINE search was completed for the time period from 1990 to 2019 along with a manual search, to locate relevant peer-reviewed articles and textbooks published in English. Several keywords were used to obtain all possible articles concerned with the subject. We have found 25 articles on our search, and only 21 articles were specifically related to our subject. The study concludes that few studies have focused on the restoration of endodontically treated teeth and post placement, and also, there were no previous review articles studied this subject.
