The ideal relation between post head - core and the
extra coronal restoration
The different relations between the ferrule (remaing tooth structure) and
the post head as follows:

3-Diferent materials of post and core:
10
The monoblock concept and different interfaces in
the post\core with reference to the root canal sealers
(1ry, 2ry,3ry monoblocks)
Primary Monoblocks
11
Secondary Monoblocks
12
b. bondable root canal filling: Resilon:
applied using a methacrylate-based sealer (epiphany sealer-a
polymerizing sealer) to self-etching primer (epiphany primer) treated
root dentin
adv: good apical and coronal seal + good fracture resistance but may
not be better than gutta percha and resin sealers
disad:
1. modulus of elasticity much lower than dentin… does not reinforce
roots
2. The possibility for not achieving perfect seals is due to:
1. extremely high C-factor in root canals (> 1000)… large
polymerization stresses during sealer polymerization… debonding
and gap formation
2. it is a fully polymerized material lacking free radicles for bonding to
methacrylate based sealers.
Tertiary monoblocks
No. of interfaces: a third circumferential interface is introduced between
the bonding substrate and the material,
Examples:
1. Fiber posts that contain an external silicate coating (DT Light SL)
2. Anatomic Post: fiber post that contain unpolymerized resin composite
for relining root canals to conform better to wide, oval canals.
Adv: reduced resin cement layer thickness… less volumetric shrinkage
Disad: gaps were found between the fiber post and the relining
composite… act as stress raisers… adhesive failure… dislodging of
fiber post from the relining composite.
13
Disad: may not act as a mechanically homogenous unit with the root canal
because the bulk of the material inside the root canal still consists of
thermoplastic gutta-percha, an elastomeric polymer that flows when
stressed
b. ActiV GP:
Disadv:
1-Amount of forces falling (tensile and shear stresses) on the brittle tooth
structure after endodontic treatment is greater than the bonding strength of
the adhesive systems.
3-Entrapment of residual water within the root canal may act as stress raiser
along the junction between post, sealer and bounded surface, and enhance
crack propagation during specimen testing.
4-All the components of the monoblock don’t have the same modulus of
elasticity of the dentin thus a main factor is not achieved due to
heterogeneity in this complex.
5-adhesive failure between post and cement sealer specially in the tertiary
monoblock
6-The sealing of the monoblock technique can be interrupted along the root
canal length due to difference in its topography.

Choice of Luting Cement As Indicated By Post Type

material selection should be based on the clinician’s expertise and patient
requirements.(Lad et al. 2014)
classification:
Conventional cements:
1. Zn phosphate
2. Zn polycarboxyate

Adhesive resin cements:
N.B.:
The push-out bond strength of quartz fiber posts was significantly
higher in self-adhesive cements compared to total-etch systems and
RelyX Unicem revealed the highest value among all the cements.
bond strength to the coronal region was higher in total-etch systems
than self-adhesive ones BEC:
Phosphoric acid etching is more effective in highly tubular areas of
the coronal root dentin AS it removes the thick surfaces smear layer
and the smear plug in dentinal tubules formed during post space
preparation to allow more effective micromechanical retention of
resin cements.
17
Bonding of zirconia posts
For mechanical bonding
1. acid etching with hydrofluoric or phosphoric acid:
does not sufficiently roughen the surface for micromechanical
retention
2. surface grinding: to roughen the zirconia surface for mechanical
retention using:
a. abrasive paper or wheels (Al2O3)
b. particle air abrasion (sandblasting) (e.g. Al2O3)
c. diamond bur grinding
disadv:
1. no significant effect on increasing the bond strength of zirconia to
resin cement.
2. Induce surface microcracks… act as crack initiation sites.
For chemical bonding: “sialinization”
Silane coupling agent: has 2 ends; one organic for polymerization
with the organic matrix of the resin cement, one end that can react
with the silica of porcelain.
Zirconia lack the silica… sialinization alone is ineffective…
Sandblasting with Al2O3 followed by Tribochemical silica
coating then Silane treatement increases the bond between
resin cements and zirconia by both chemical and mechanical
means.
Methods of Tribochemical silica coating:
1. Air abrasion with silica coated alumina particles (CoJet,
Rocatec systems)
2. Silicoating: pyrolytically applying silica coating to the surface
3. Plasma spraying
4. Vapour phase deposition

Fracture resistance of teeth restored with different post systems
fiber Vs cast metal posts:
a meta-analysis of literature 2013 concluded that cast post and core has
higher fracture resistance than fiber posts
glass fiber post and composite resin cores Vs customized zirconia
posts, Vs cast metal post and cores
1. all performed favorably under compressive testing
2. The load required to fracture the zirconia custom post was higher
compared to the fiber post and cast post and core.
3. The fiber post resisted a load higher than the cast post and core.
Fiber Vs zirconia:
post length is a more critical factor in teeth restored with one-piece
milled zirconia posts than in those restored with fiber posts
zirconia posts had higher fracture resistance than fiber posts.
Sealers:
1. Eugenol based sealers(e.g. Endofill)
Reduce the bond strength of composite resin core build-up and of
adhesively cemented fiber posts bec: Eugenol inhibits the polymerization
of resin cements… should not be used when adhesively cemented fiber
posts are to be placed
2. Epoxy-resin based sealers (e.g. AH-Plus)
the preferred endodontic sealer nowadays due to:
1. satisfactory physical properties
2. acceptable biological performance
3. smaller number of gap-containing interface areas
4. higher adhesiveness to root dentin.
AH-Plus promoted higher bond strength values between the FRC and
root dentin than did salicylate resin- and eugenol-based sealers after 15
days… the recommended sealer with fiber posts.
