Endodontic Posts Using the CAD/CAM Digital Method.
Sponsor: Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki
Summary
This study investigates the survival and success rates of endodontic posts exclusively fabricated using the CAD/CAM digital method over a period of 5 years of intraoral use. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and long-term outcomes of the digital approach compared to traditional techniques, aiming to determine the reliability and precision of CAD/CAM technology in the fabrication of endodontic post restorations.

Interventions
Lithium Disilicate CAD/CAM Post
Patients in this arm receive custom CAD/CAM posts fabricated from lithium disilicate. All posts are designed, milled, and cemented using standardized preparation, adhesive, and cementation protocols. Clinical follow-up evaluates post survival, success rates, biological response, and the need for repair or replacement over time.
Active Comparator: Polymer-Based CAD/CAM Posts
Patients in this arm receive custom CAD/CAM posts fabricated from high-performance polymer materials. Posts are manufactured and cemented using the same standardized clinical workflow applied in Arm 1. This arm allows comparison of survival, success rates, functional stability, and biological outcomes relative to lithium disilicate CAD/CAM posts.
