These posts have been compared with requirements of an ideal post system in relation to clinical use, stress effects, stress distribution, retention, loosening and displacement, provision for cores, and biocompatibility. The purpose was to provide this critical review to allow interested clinicians to compare this novel design to other available post systems.
