Post & Core Treatment in Aurangabad
What is Post & Core Treatment?
Sometimes, a tooth may be too damaged to support a dental crown directly due to extensive decay, cracks, or root canal treatment. In such cases, a post & core procedure becomes necessary to create a strong foundation for restoring the tooth’s functionality and aesthetics.
The Post
A post is a small, slender dowel inserted into the cleaned and shaped root canal of the tooth. These posts are typically made of metal or fiber-reinforced composite resin.
The Core
The core is a custom-made filling material placed on top of the post to rebuild the lost tooth structure and create a solid base for the dental crown.
Benefits of Post & Core Treatment
- Preserves the natural tooth structure: By restoring the damaged tooth with a post & core and crown, we can save the natural tooth root, preventing the need for extraction and potential tooth replacement procedures.
- Enhanced Durability and Functionality: The post & core combination provides a strong and stable foundation for the dental crown, ensuring it can withstand biting and chewing forces effectively.
