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.

This clinical study aims to evaluate 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 study focuses on the utilization of advanced digital technology for the design and fabrication of endodontic posts, which replaces traditional impression-taking and analog methods.

Participants in the study will undergo treatment where digital intraoral scanners will capture the post-space anatomy, and CAD software will be used to design custom posts that are then milled using CAM technology. The fabricated posts will be evaluated for fit, stability, and clinical performance over a prolonged period.

The primary outcome measures include the survival rate of the posts (absence of dislodgement or failure) and the success rate, which incorporates the functional and aesthetic integration of the post with the surrounding dental structures. Secondary outcomes will assess the incidence of complications such as root fractures, debonding, and endodontic failure.

This study distinguishes itself by exclusively using the digital CAD/CAM approach, with no involvement of traditional methods, ensuring precision and consistency in post fabrication. It aims to provide comprehensive data on the effectiveness and reliability of CAD/CAM technology for endodontic applications, offering insights that could influence clinical protocols and materials used in restorative dentistry

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants aged 18 to 70 years
• Patients requiring endodontic treatment with post placement
• Individuals with adequate tooth structure to support a post restoration
• Patients who consent to participate and commit to follow-up visits for a period of 5 years
• Good overall oral health with no active periodontal disease

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with systemic conditions that could affect oral health or healing (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes or immune-compromising diseases)
• Individuals with severe periodontal disease or compromised tooth structure unsuitable for post placement
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Patients unwilling or unable to commit to the 5-year follow-up period
• Individuals with allergies or adverse reactions to dental materials used in the CAD/CAM process
• Minimum Age = 18 Years and Maximum Age = 70 Years

The individual participant data (IPD) from this study will not be shared due to privacy and confidentiality concerns. The data collected includes sensitive patient information, and sharing it publicly may compromise participant anonymity and violate ethical guidelines. Furthermore, the study does not have the necessary infrastructure in place to ensure secure and compliant sharing of IPD with other researchers.

This is an open-label trial; no parties are masked in this study.
