  • Title: Mechanical properties of endodontic posts.
    Author: Lambjerg-Hansen H, Asmussen E.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 1997 Dec; 24(12):882-7. PubMed ID: 9467988.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-two commercially available endodontic posts were examined with regard to stiffness, elastic limit and resistance to fracture. Differences in mechanical properties were explained by differences in width, shape and surface structure. In the selection of an endodontic post, its stability rather than its retention should be of primary clinical concern. Accordingly, the authors advocate the use of endodontic posts that have a cylindrical coronal portion and a conical apical portion.
