Abstract

Although added preparations and skill are required to provide precision attachment removable partial dentures, more favorable esthetics and load distribution may outweigh the disadvantages. Basic design principles, categories (intracoronal, extracoronal, stud, bar and plunger) and selection of precision attachments are reviewed.

Rational predictable posthole preparation.

Restoration of the endodontically treated tooth is a common occurrence in everyday dental practice. Unfortunately, clinical posthole preparation seems to be a random technique. Even for a prefabricated post supplied with matching drills, the task is often difficult or not straightforward. Some questions inevitably arise. How long should the posthole be? How wide should the canal be prepared? How can the proper width be maintained so that the prefabricated post does not strip in the canal and lose its retention? If it is decided to use a cast post, what is the best posthole preparation to maximize retention? Is there an easy way to avoid perforating the root while preparing the canal for the post? Clinically, how can the posthole be prepared quickly, easily, and predictably every time? These key questions must be addressed when preparing the posthole.

Retentive properties of three post-core systems.

The retention in root canals of Flexi-Posts, Para-Posts and Brasseler/Vlock-Posts was measured using tensile and compressive/shear forces. Forty-two extracted maxillary anterior teeth were embedded in self-curing acrylic resin and treated endodontically. Each root canal was prepared with the appropriate matching drills for the post-core system chosen. Each post-core was cemented in the canal with zinc phosphate cement. A tensile force was applied along the long axis of each tooth and the force needed to dislodge the post-core was recorded. There was no difference in retention between the small diameter posts, but the difference between the medium and the large diameter posts, however, was significant. In the medium diameter post group, the Flexi-Post was approximately twice as retentive as the other two post-core systems evaluated. In the second series of tests compressive/shear force was applied at an angle of 130 degrees to the long axis of the tooth. The retention difference between the small diameter posts was found to be statistically significant, Flexi-Posts being more retentive than Para-Posts and B/V-Posts.
