Evaluation of a two-piece post and core fabrication technique.

Casting a core to a prefit post reduces the need for adjustments at cementation. This study compared two-piece post and core castings to one-piece castings of the same geometric configuration. The specimens were made with 0.070-inch Whaledent laboratory burnout posts invested in a phosphate investment and cast with Midas, Sturdicast, or Rexillium III alloys. Three groups (n = 10) with two-piece castings had the post cast followed by a second casting of a 1 mm thick core to the post head. Three groups (n = 5) were cast in one piece. The specimens were tested for tension at a head speed of 1 cm/min. One Midas alloy two-piece casting was dislodged at the post head-to-core interface whereas the other specimens failed within the post. There was no significant difference between the two techniques using a generalized linear model (p less than 0.05).

An accelerated technique for casting post and core restorations.

An accelerated technique for casting a direct-pattern post and core restoration is presented. The entire clinical and laboratory procedure may be completed within 1 hour. The necessity for two appointments for completion of the restoration as well as the necessity of making two provisional restorations may be eliminated.

An in vitro evaluation of a prototype CFRC prefabricated post developed for the restoration of pulpless teeth.

Carbon fibre reinforced carbon (CFRC) in the form of a prefabricated post has recently been developed and is theoretically acceptable for consideration in an endodontic post-retained crown system. This study compared four different types of postcore system cemented into 40 extracted anterior human teeth. The test groups consisted of CFRC posts cemented with a composite resin luting agent, and used with either a cast gold alloy core (Group B) or a composite resin core (Group C). Two existing post-core techniques were used as controls for comparison with the CFRC groups. One control was a prefabricated wrought precious alloy post having a cast gold alloy core, and cemented with zinc phosphate cement (Group A). The other was a prefabricated stainless steel post with a composite resin core, and cemented with a composite resin luting agent (Group D). All specimens were restored with a gold alloy crown and tested to failure with an obliquely applied compressive load at 130 degrees in an Instron using a cross-head speed of 5 cm min-1. The results showed that post-retained crowns using a prefabricated CFRC post exhibited properties comparable with, and in some cases better than, those of existing prefabricated posts. The mode of failure of specimens restored with a CFRC post was more favourable to the remaining tooth tissue than was that of specimens restored with a metallic post.

Crown repair with a cast post and core.

A technique to make a post and core pattern that can be used to save an existing crown has been presented. The technique should become an additional tool in the treatment armamentarium.

All-ceramic post core, and crown: technique and case report.

UNLABELLED: The functional and esthetic restoration of severely compromised anterior teeth is a challenge to clinicians in their daily practice. The duplication of the optical characteristics of an intact tooth, including shade, translucency, and fluorescence, is often made difficult by the use of metal infrastructures, such as post-and-cores and copings. The development of reinforced ceramics and non-metallic post systems made possible the generation of metal-free ceramic restorations in severely compromised anterior and posterior teeth. This article discusses one available technique for the generation of a single all-ceramic restoration involving the use of a zirconia- or leucite-reinforced post-and-core system and of an all-ceramic crown system. A representative clinical case is presented illustrating the potential of the technique. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Modern ceramic restorative systems offer the possibility to closely match the natural optical characteristics of lost tooth structure. Posts, cores, and copings fabricated in ceramic materials represent a promising alternative to metals in the restoration of severely compromised anterior teeth.

An injection technique for generating direct resin post and core patterns.

An injection technique can be used to rapidly generate direct post and core patterns with autopolymerizing acrylic resin. The technique uses an autopolymerizing acrylic resin, a serrated plastic pin, and a syringe with a disposable needle tube and plug to inject acrylic resin into the root canal. The technique is simple, accurate, and faster than the bead-brush technique and eliminates some of its shortcomings.

Principles and technique of using bonded post and cores.

This article discusses today's principles of adhesive dentistry and proposes new, conservative guidelines and techniques for post space preparation and post length for bonded post and cores. Also discussed is a technique using dual-cure composite resin and glass fiber posts to effectively perform a bonded post and core build-up procedure.

A direct technique for fabrication of posts and cores.

A barbed broach covered by cotton fibers is used as a matrix to carry blue inlay wax into the canal prepared for a post. This simple, direct technique of post fabrication lends itself to various clinical situations. The technique requires no special armamentarium.

A 3-year postoperative clinical evaluation of posts and cores beneath existing crowns.

Fabrication of posts and cores for fixed partial denture (FPD) and removable partial denture (RPD) abutment restorations is common in dentistry. The biocompatibility of various post and core techniques with the restorations was clinically evaluated according to location and function. In this study, 154 post and core constructions for 150 patients were observed for a 3-year period to determine if the function of the original restorations remained unsatisfactory. The following techniques were included: (1) screw post and light-curing composite resins, (2) cemented post with parallel sides and light-curing composite resins, and (3) a cast and core technique. Seventeen of the 154 restorations failed; four failures were attributed to root fractures, three to radicular caries, and five to crown dislodgement, while five failures were from detachment of the post and core from the root. The statistical analysis revealed that only the factor "type of abutment" (RPDs and FPDs) had some effect on the failure of the restorations.

Cement spacing for the one-step post-core and crown. A new laboratory technique.

A technique to provide cement spacing for cast post-cores prior to construction of their crowns is described. The axial lift of crowns cemented with zinc phosphate was greater, but not significantly, for crowns constructed on non-spaced post-cores compared with crowns constructed on spaced post-cores. Three materials were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in providing cement spacing for post-cores. The phenomenon of post-core 'wedging' during luting was identified.

A fiber composite laminate endodontic post and core.

The goals of endodontic post and core procedures are to provide maximum retention of the post and resistance to fracture of the roots. Presented is a recently developed fiber composite laminate (FCL) post and core technique which results in a bonded structure that is conservative, morphologic, retentive, versatile, esthetic, and helps resist root fracture. To ascertain the durability of FCL posts and cores, an in vitro pilot study with stress testing is included. The results of the study are compared to other post and core materials to show how well this technique approaches the ideal characteristics for endodontic post and cores.
