For the most commonly shaped canal; an ovoid post! What a concept! Without changing armamentarium for preparing the canal, RTD now has a post that evolves into an ovoid shape coronally to more adequately fit the natural anatomic shape of the canal. Less tooth destruction to adapt the tooth to the post and less resultant cement, creates a stronger tooth and more resistance to dislodgement and fracture. When room allows the addition of Fibercones adds anti-rotational stability as well as further composite reduction. This is currently the state of the art in fiber post technology and tooth restoration.
