Post Core
A dental post core is a method of restoring a tooth after root canal treatment. It is used when a natural tooth (usually a molar) has a large carious area (more than 50 percent of the tooth’s original structure should be removed). The remaining tooth is not enough to support a dental crown. In this situation, a post and core crown is helpful to protect the tooth from further damage or infection.
A great alternative to post and core treatment is an implant system, but it is quite expensive and time-consuming.
Types of Post Core
Choose the right post core material for your patient's needs.
Metal Post and Core
Material includes Nickle alloy, Cobalt-chromium alloy, and precious alloy. Cobalt chromium alloy is most frequently used because it is less likely to cause allergy. Also cost-effective and very tough.
Zirconia Post and Core
Bio-compatible, often comes with an all-ceramic crown (normally a zirconia crown) due to its natural appearance. If the post has to be very small, zirconia is not suggested since it is easy to break.
