Abstract

Endodontic treatment is an attempt at saving and preserving the tooth with damaged pulp in function. Success of endodontic therapy depends upon combination of a three dimension fluid tight obturation along with adequate post endodontic restoration to make the pulpless teeth to function as an integral part of the dental arch. The post endodontic restorations are equally important as the instrumentation and obturation of the root canal. A thorough understanding of the proper use of posts, cores and copings will enable the dentist to produce a final restoration that provides adequate retention while replacing and reinforcing lost tooth structure.
