Consideration Factors for Post and Core with Crown Restorations

Many factors should be considered for restoration of root-canal-treated teeth using posts and cores with crowns, such as materials of posts, cores and luting cements. The posts using now, there are the form of custom made and prefabricated posts made of various materials. The kind of posts affected to the choosing of luting cement and also core material. So that the restoration of teeth with posts and cores with crowns to be accomplished should have the choosing of suitable materials and techniques.
