1. When a post is present in a tooth requiring root canal retreatment, most endodontists surveyed preferred to remove the post rather than perform periapical surgery.
2. Endodontists were only concerned about root fracture in teeth with wide posts and thin root dentine.
3. Root fractures have rarely occurred during post removal, with a frequency of less than 0.002% of the estimated number of posts removed by the endodontists surveyed.
4. The most common method used to remove posts was ultrasonic vibration, whilst the Eggler post remover was the most commonly used device, particularly for removing cast post and cores in anterior teeth.
