Sumario:Posts have been suggested to strengthen weak endodontically treated teeth against intra-oral forces by transmitting torquing forces within the radicular dentin to supportive tissue along their roots. The case studies that follow show how an interdisciplinary approach was used to use complete veneer crowns after custom cast posts to repair severely damaged treated teeth and restore their appearance and functionality. Coordinated prosthetic and endodontic treatments with careful consideration of the patient's expectations and requirements were crucial for a positive result and patient satisfaction. For a very long period, a cast metal post and core were used to provide the foundation restoration for a prosthetic crown. The cast post and core system has the benefit that the core is a natural extension of the post. It is intended for the post to keep the core restoration, which rebuilds the destroyed coronal structure. In this article, cast post and core and porcelain fused to metal restorations for injured maxillary central incisors are discussed.
