Post and Core Treatments in Nellore – Restore Heavily Damaged Teeth

Teeth that are severely broken down from decay or injury often require a post and core foundation before restoration with a crown. This treatment helps reinforce and rebuild damaged teeth.

What is a Post and Core?

A post and core includes two components:

• Post – A metal rod inserted into the root canal space for internal support.
• Core – The foundation filling around the post that reshapes the damaged tooth.

This substructure provides strength, retention, and stability needed to hold a crown or other restoration in place.

Reasons for Post and Core Treatments

Post and cores are often needed when teeth have:

• Extensive decay or trauma that destroyed most of the tooth structure
• Large deteriorated fillings with little remaining tooth to bond to
• Cracked or fractured teeth needing increased reinforcement
• Previously treated root canals requiring crown coverage
• Insufficient structure to properly retain a crown

Benefits of Post and Core Buildups

Advantages of post and core treatment:

• Reinforce and stabilize severely compromised teeth
• Provide solid internal foundation for restorative work
• Improve retention for crowns placed over damaged teeth
• Allow future restoration and function of weak, worn teeth
• Prevent tooth fracture and loss of restoration
• Enhance strength of endodontically treated teeth
• Restore form, function, and aesthetics

The Post and Core Procedure

This treatment generally involves:

• Root canal therapy if not previously done
• Prepping tooth and canal space for post insertion
• Cementing metal post into root canal space
• Building up core around post with filling material
• Taking impressions for fabrication of crown
• Restoring tooth with crown for protection and function
