Abstract

Currently available restoration strategies for restoring endodontically treated teeth involve the use fiber-reinforced resin posts and fiber-reinforced resins which are essentially composite materials that must be bonded to dentin. An important factor determining the success of such luting procedures remains the knowledge of biomaterials and how they interface with these biological tissues. Ignoring this will result in the failure of the restorative attempt irrespective of the experience of the practitioner. However, an important factor determining the success of luting procedures remains the knowledge and experience of the practitioner in their characteristics, bonding techniques, and the predictability of the clinical technique.
