Post and Core

Post and Core Treatment at Dr Maitry M Shah Dental Clinic & Implant Centre

When a tooth lacks sufficient structure to support a conventional crown, a post and core restoration may be necessary. At Dr Maitry M Shah Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, we specialize in providing post and core treatments to restore the strength and function of damaged teeth, preparing them for the placement of a final crown.

Understanding Post and Core Restorations

A post and core restoration involves two main components:

• Post: A post is a thin, metal or tooth-colored rod that is cemented into the root canal of a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy. The post provides additional support and retention for the core restoration and final crown.
• Core Restoration: The core restoration is a buildup material that fills the space inside the tooth above the post and provides a foundation for the final crown. It helps to reinforce the tooth structure and create a stable base for the crown to be placed.

When is Post and Core Treatment Needed?

Post and core treatment is typically recommended in cases where:

• A tooth has undergone root canal therapy and lacks sufficient remaining tooth structure to support a traditional crown.
• There is significant damage or decay affecting the tooth structure, making it prone to fracture or collapse.
• The tooth needs additional support to ensure the long-term success of the final crown restoration.

Benefits of Post and Core Treatment:

• Enhanced Support: Post and core restorations provide additional support and stability to weakened or compromised teeth, ensuring the long-term success of the final crown.
• Improved Functionality: By reinforcing the tooth structure, post and core treatments restore the ability to chew and bite comfortably.
• Long-lasting Results: With proper care and maintenance, post and core restorations can provide durable and reliable support for many years.
