Post & Core

Dental post and core is essentially a rehabilitation process or step which is done after a root canal treatment. During a root canal procedure, majority of the tooth’s structure is removed and after this, the crown is fixed in the tooth. For this crown to stay in place, a post and core is used. The post essentially goes inside the canal to help the crown stay in place.
The biggest advantage of a post and core is that it helps retain the teeth and eliminates the need for an extraction.
