Abstract: Dental post to be fitted, particularly, within a dental cavity (3) comprises axial and longitudinal stiffening elements (7). At least a portion of the stiffening elements which is to be fixed within the cavity (3) comprises, at least at its periphery, a curable product (9) capable of yielding under an applied force so as to conform to the walls of the cavity in which it is located. The product is curable after being introduced into the cavity.
