Retentive properties of a new post and core system.

Fifty Flexi-Posts were cemented in extracted teeth and tested for tensile strength. The Flexi-Post was the most retentive post tested when compared with posts used in a similar study. The retention of the Flexi-Post became greater as the size of the post increased.

Torque placed by dentists on prefabricated threaded posts.

Thirty-one dentists were tested relative to the optimal and maximum amount of torque they could deliver to posts in teeth. The mean for the optimal amount of torque was 15.55 ounce-inches, and the mean for the maximum amount of torque was 35.29 ounce-inches. Female dentists showed a statistically significantly lower mean difference of 24.5 ounce-inches on the maximum torque test.
