Abstract
- Deger S, Akgüngör G, Caniklioglu B. An alternative method for fabricating a custom-made metal post with a ceramic core. Dent Traumatol 2005; 21: 179–182.© Blackwell Munksgaard, 2005.The restoration of anterior non-vital teeth with metal posts and cores and all-ceramic restorations may lead to compromised esthetics because of the semitranslucence of ceramics and the metallic color of the underlying post and cores. This article presents a technique that combines the optical properties of ceramic cores with the mechanical properties of custom-made cast metal posts. The technique involves heat pressing of the core from leucite-enriched glass-ceramic to the underlying custom-made metal post and may provide additional esthetic benefit for anterior teeth especially with little remaining coronal dentin and with small root volume.
