Also known as a Core and Build Up.
PostsPosts are placed in teeth that are normally root canaled. A root Canal eventually hollows the tooth out. A post is similar to, Rebar a metal rod in concrete. This supports resin filling that will occupy the material that has been removed to do the root Canal.
One root of the tooth will be prepared to receive the Fiber Post. This is a clear object that isa bonded to the inside of the root. Then the area is filled with resin filling material to reconstruct the area that a crown will be mounted. When the crown is placed it will be cemented to the base of the tooth and not just the post. This ensures that the post and crown will work together to retain the crown.
At times a post may be placed to place a filling. But in these cases we would normally recommend a crown.
