This special eBook from Compendium puts the spotlight on two articles on endodontics. A continuing education (CE) article describes techniques for placement of posts, along with explaining the equally important decision not to place a post, depending on the case. The second article presents a case report on a multidisciplinary approach to the management of a mandibular first molar with an additional distolingual root (radix entomolaris) and grade III cervical enamel projection.

CE: Handling Posts and Cores for Successful Endodontic Cases
Joseph Chikvashvili, DDS
Techniques for placement of posts—or the equally important decision not to place a post—depend on the particular conditions of each unique case. The best option is to aim for the most conservative access, while determining whether a pre-fabricated or fiber post is ideal. The author concludes that providing the most optimal patient care is accomplished by careful decision-making before, during, and after root canals and other endodontic treatments.
