Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.” Learning, thus, is a never-ending process, more so in dentistry and particularly in endodontics. In this present era, knowledge is just a click away; however, the authenticity of such information is not always reliable. Literature plays a vital role in the shaping of a dentist into a concept-driven clinician.

Managing coronal destruction - A clinical case demonstrating the pre-endodontic reconstruction of a tooth
Dr Andreas Schult, Germany
For many years, post systems have been an important component of post-endodontic core build-ups. Post crowns or posts and cores used to be manufactured in a dental laboratory with the primary goals of repairing the restoration on significantly destroyed teeth and stabilising the tooth structure.
