Sliding Cast Post Core System – Prosthodontic Solution for Divergent Root Canal Configuration
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Advanced endodontics have made it possible that if margin of future crown can be placed supragingivally then irrespective of coronal destruction one can restore the natural tooth. This has challenged the prosthodontic fraternity to come up with new and innovative designs to restore the posterior natural endodontically treated teeth. Degree of difficulty in treating posterior teeth with post core is their root configuration and relation that is never parallel especially in maxillary molars. With palatal root being the widest of all roots, the mechanical advantage that it offers cannot be overlooked and therefore involvement of palatal root for any post core system is mandatory. This article describes a technique of fabricating a cast post core for multiple divergent maxillary root canals using the principle of sliding one component over the other.
