The restoration of endodontically treated teeth is one of the most challenging situations of the dentist’s clinical practice, becauseit involves procedures related to several areas, such as endodontics, operative dentistry, and prosthetic dentistry. The restorationof endodontically treated teeth is a topic that is extensively studied and yet remains controversial from manyperspectives. This article reviews the major pertinent literature on this topic, with an emphasis on major decision-making elementsin proper post selection and restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Most endodontically treated teeth require a postand core build-up for restoring the teeth to optimum health and function. Selection of an appropriate post-and-core systemfrom the wide variety of those available may be a clinical dilemma. Selection of a post and core system should satisfy manyinterrelated biologic, mechanical, and esthetic factors to optimally restore the endodontically treated tooth to adequate formand function. It is also important to remember that the prognosis of endodontically treated teeth depends not only on endodontictreatment success itself, but also on the amount of remnant tooth tissue and the definitive restoration that will be placedonto the dental element. This review may serve as a guide to aid the clinician in the selection of a post and core system.
