Endodontically treated teeth with a substantial coronal loss of dentin may require additional support to retain the coronal restoration. The use of posts has decreased along with the development of adhesive techniques and materials. Yet, when remaining coronal tissue is scarce, additional bonding surface, retention, and support from the root canal is needed especially in anterior teeth and premolars.
