| Abstract | |
Endodontically treated tooth may be restored as a single unit within the arch or as an abutment within a fixed restoration for the long term conservation and function of the tooth. The decision to use a post to restore the endodontically treated tooth depends on a need to restore lost coronal tooth structure with a core. Post placement significantly improves the prognosis of the tooth which may be used as abutment for removable or fixed prosthesis. This case report describes in detail the basis of cast post and core fabrication with its clinical advantages. |
