Summary

For substantial tooth structure loss, bonded posts offer a viable direct restoration method. Material choice between ceramic zirconium or titanium posts depends on aesthetic needs, with cast posts declining.

Area of Science:

Restorative Dentistry
Prosthodontics
Dental Materials Science

Background:

Substantial loss of tooth structure from decay or prior restorations necessitates core reconstruction or post and core procedures for abutment teeth in fixed prosthodontics.
Extensive dentin defects, particularly in endodontically treated teeth, require robust support for core materials.

Observation:

Direct procedures utilizing bonded posts are effective for restoring tooth structure.
The selection between light-conducting all-ceramic zirconium and titanium posts is dictated by aesthetic considerations.
Indirect cast post and core techniques are becoming less frequently indicated for prosthodontic reconstructions.

Findings:

This review examines historical and contemporary post and core materials and techniques.
It discusses indications for core reconstruction in vital teeth and post and core applications for pulpless teeth.

Implications:

Understanding current post and core materials and techniques is crucial for effective prosthodontic treatment planning.
Aesthetic demands influence the choice of post material, highlighting the importance of material science in restorative dentistry.
The shift away from cast posts suggests evolving clinical preferences and material advancements.
