Q

What is a disadvantage of titanium alloy prefabricated post?

A
  1. Radiopacity the same as gutta percha

2. Weaker and tend to break during retreatment

32
Q

What is the main advantage of a carbon fiber prefab post?

A

Modulus of elasticity equal to dentin

33
Q

What does zirconium or ceramic prefab post offer?

A

Maximum esthetics

34
Q

What is the disadvantage of the zirconium prefab post?

A

It cannot be etched

35
Q

What is the only time an active post is indicated?

A

With short roots when maximum retention is required

36
Q

Does increasing the diameter of a post increase its retention?

A

No, teeth with thicker posts fracture more easily

37
Q

What diameter should a post be?

A

Do not exceed 1/3 cross sectional diameter of the root

38
Q

What is a danger when planning or placing a post?

A

Unseen root concavities

39
Q

How large should a canal be opened when prepping for a post?

A

Only enough to allow a post to fit accurately and passively

40
Q

Does cement have a large effect on the post?

A

No

41
Q

How long should a post be?

A

As long as possible while leaving 4-5mm of gutta percha at the apex

42
Q

What limits post length other than the requirement for 4-5 mm gutta percha at the apex?

A

Individual tooth anatomy. Can only go where the canal is straight

43
Q

Post length should at least be equal to what?

A

Height of clinical crown

44
Q

Post length should be at least how long?

A

At least 8mm

45
Q

What is a landmark that the post must extend apically beyond?

A

Beyond the crest of bone

46
Q

What amount of gutta percha must be left at the apex for a post?

A

4-5mm gutta percha

47
Q

Are posts commonly required in molars?

A

No just rarely

48
Q

What canal would a post be placed in molars?

A

Q

Is the parapets plus system passive or active?

A

Passive
