Expertscape Ranks World's Top Doctors and Institutions in Post and Core Technique

BALTIMORE - Jan. 24, 2019 - PRLog -- As part of its continuing program to highlight expertise and excellence in dentistry, Expertscape.com takes pleasure in recognizing the world's top institutions and medical specialists in the research and treatment of Post and Core Technique.

Post and Core Technique is a dental restoration procedure used when an inadequate amount of sound tooth tissue exists to retain a conventional crown. A post is cemented into a prepared root canal, which retains a core restoration, which in turn retains the final crown. The restoration of endodontically-treated teeth has become an important component of today's dental practice, and the Post and Core Technique is a widely used restorative procedure that has seen significant advancement in recent decades, from cemented metallic post and cores, prefabricated posts, and more recently lute fiber posts.

The procedure can vary considerably depending upon the patient and the residual amount of the crown available, with most cases requiring a post in order to retain the built-up material. The use of fiber post technology is now possible due to advancements in 'adhesion to dental substrates' over the last 30 years. Newer adhesive-based approaches result in less damage to the root canal space and allow the dentist to install a post that under loading has a modulus of elasticity very similar to that of dentin.

According to Dr. Marco Ferrari of the University of Siena, "This technique has been extensively investigated in vitro and in vivo, and the effective application of the post and core technique has proven to act as an 'insurance policy' for the endodontically-treated and restored tooth, reducing the risk of an irreversible fracture and thus improving the patient's experience and dental function."
