A 
Intra-radicular retention

A

Restoration needs to be retained by root
Must allow stress distribution
Must not cause root fracture
Must be durable

26
Q

Principles in crown retention (3)

Retain as much dentine mass as possible
Restore dentine mass with suitable material if necessary
Use intra-radicular post in combination with the above only if retention is compromised

Surface configuration
Active or passive fit
Length, width
Ferrule
Anti-rotation
Cast or prefabricated
Choice of material

Etched
Grooved
Fluted
37
Q

-thread cuts into post-hole wall to aid post retention
-introduces great stresses into system
Passive
-post retained in hole by means of adhesive lute
-surface of post may be configures to aid adhesion

38
Q

Depth of intra-radicular posts (4)

Deeper post holes distribute stress better
Deeper post holes increase retention
BUT
Deeper post holes disturb apical seals
Deeper post holes destroy tooth substance

The greater the ratio the poorer the prognosis

Large building on small foundation is not safe place to live

Narrow posts are conservative of tooth substance
BUT
Narrow posts are weak
Narrow posts are easily rotated
