Abstract

Custom-made cast post and core plays a crucial role in the restoration of extensively decayed teeth, offering a level of flexibility that addresses the specific needs of each case. The core serves as an anchor within the root canal, providing stability and support for the subsequent prosthetic restoration. The process of creating a design for a cast post and core involves strategic decision-making. This can be achieved through two primary methods: direct formation within the patient's mouth or indirect fabrication on a model. Each approach presents its own set of advantages and considerations. In the direct method, where the design is crafted within the patient's mouth, a unique challenge arises due to the inherent variations in root alignment. The creation of custom-made cast post and core is a multifaceted process that requires careful consideration of factors such as root alignment and anatomical intricacies. The utilization of inventive approaches, like the direct method presented here, showcases the ongoing advancements in restorative dentistry, ultimately leading to successful outcomes in challenging cases. In the present case report, a custom-made cast post and core was fabricated using a direct method.
