Table 1 Parameters and their definitions [19–22].
| Parameters | Definition |
|---|---|
| Post or Dowel | Made of fiber-reinforced composite resin that is fitted into a prepared root canal of a natural tooth; when combined with a core, it provides retention and resistance for an artificial crown |
| Post shape | It can be in taper or parallel form |
| Post width in relation to mesio-distally width of root | The width of the post is preferred to be 1: 3 or less of the root width |
| Length of post in relation to the crown length | The preferred length is twice as length than crown length or slightly lesser in case of chemical bonded posts like prefabricated GFPs |
| Length of post in relation to root lengths | It could be 2: 3 of the root length or somewhat shorter, measured from the CEJ |
| Amount of remaining GP at the apex of ETT | It showed be between 3–5mm, or slightly more than 5mm in case of GFPs |
| Radiographic abnormality around the root | Things as widening of periodontal ligament, presence of periapical pathosis, deviation of post from canal, and fitting of post to walls |
| Presence of spaces between post and residual GP | Area between the end of GFP and GPs |
