CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY ON POST
AND CORE MATERIALS FOR PROSTHETIC
RESTORATION OF ENDODONTICALLY
TREATED MAXILLARY ANTERIOR TEETH
Achieving esthetically pleasing, structurally sound reconstructions on
endodontically treated, devitalized and dis-colored teeth in maxillary
anterior region often presents a challenge. Customized cast metal post
and core has remained the standard for restoring such teeth for many
years and are still used by clinicians. However they do not perform as well
as other types of posts and core during various in vitro and in vivo stud-
ies. Some important factors to be considered while planning a post and
core are retention and resistance form, preservation of tooth structure,
mode of failure, retrievability, esthetics and clinical/laboratory time taken
for the procedure. The FRC posts are more flexible than metal and are
approximately of the same modulus of elasticity as dentin. When bonded
with resin cement they distribute forces evenly in the root resulting in
fewer root fractures. They are more biocompatible and are not subject
to corrosion/galvanism like the cast metal post and core. The FRC posts
have undergone numerous modifications in their composition, design,
shape and size since their introduction. Against such a background this
research study evaluated the clinical efficacy of two recently introduced
FRC post and core systems to the customized cast metal post and core
whichmeets the requirements of an ideal post and core and thus restores
endodontically treated, compromised maxillary anterior teeth for use as
individual units or as abutments for fixed or removable prosthesis in a
predictable long termmanner.
