A dental post and core crown is a type of dental crown used to restore a tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment. It consists of two main components: the post and the core. The post is inserted into the remaining tooth structure to provide support and retention for the crown. The core is a dental restoration material that fills in the area above the post and provides a foundation for the final dental crown.
A post and core is typically needed when a tooth has been significantly damaged due to decay or fracture and has undergone a root canal procedure. When the tooth structure is compromised, the post provides additional support for the dental crown. This is especially crucial for teeth that bear significant chewing forces, such as molars.
Post and core crowns can be made from a variety of materials. Commonly used materials include composite resin, metal, and ceramics. Fibre posts are also popular due to their aesthetic appeal and ability to bond to the tooth structure effectively. The choice of material often depends on factors like the location of the tooth, the extent of the damage, and the patient's preferences.
The post and core procedure starts with the dentist cleaning and shaping the canal of the tooth after performing a root canal treatment. Once the canal is prepared, a post is selected based on the size and shape of the canal. The post can be either prefabricated or custom-made. After placing the post, the core material is applied around it to restore the shape of the tooth, and finally, an impression is taken to fabricate the final dental crown.
