Root canal posts are prefabricated rods inserted into a tooth’s root canal to provide structural support for a crown or other restoration. They help maintain tooth stability after root canal treatment by acting as an anchor for the final prosthetic, ensuring long-term durability and function.
These devices are typically single-use and come in various materials like metal, ceramic, or fiber-reinforced polymers, with options for threading or tapering. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, with supply often categorized as dental endodontic instruments.
