Materials And Methods Used For Fabrication Of Custom Made Cast Post- A Review

Introduction: A post and core is a type of dental restoration required where there is an inadequate amount of sound tooth tissue remaining to retain a conventional crown.The material demand for posts has undergone a full makeover as a result of emerging care concepts. This review aims on focussing the materials used in post and core technique and their advantages and disadvantages. Purpose: Purpose of this review was to summarize all materials and methods for fabrication of post and core so that Material science, defect analysis, force analysis, and mechanical engineering principles of preparation and designs can be used to help in decision making for post endodontic restoration according to different clinical conditions. Conclusion: Post-and-core materials and techniques that are available to the clinician for a variety of clinical procedures and thus each clinical situation should be evaluated on an individual basis.
