Zusammenfassung
Objectives: Post and core (PC) is frequently used, but clinical evidence concerning how long a post must be is scarce. Recommendations in dental literature range from half of the root which should be incorporated, to post space preparations conducted as deep as possible increasing the risk for root perforation thus tooth loss. Therefore, the aim of this retrospective survival analysis is to evaluate the post length as well as the post-clinical crown ratio on a large patient cohort with long follow-ups. Materials and methods: Overall 1026 PC in 731 patients could be included in this study (2004–2023). The files were analysed due to the parameters post length and post-clinical crown ratio on X-Ray. Furthermore, the influence of the type of covering prosthetic restoration, location, type of tooth, luting material, PC material, bone attachment and therapist was evaluated. The statistical analysis was assessed using Kaplan-Meier (univariate influences) and Cox regression (multifactorial influences). Results: Survival until extraction as well as decementation was significantly influenced by bone attachment and covering prosthetic restoration. Posts reaching the middle third of the root showed highly significant (p < 0.001) better survival probabilities than those reaching the coronal or apical third. Regarding the post-clinical crown ratio, no significant difference was found for post = crown/post > crown, whereas postVerknüpfung zu Publikationen oder weiteren Datensätzen
