Metal Post & Core
Metal Post & Core
Bestodental’s metal post & core systems are manufactured using a variety of premium-grade alloys to deliver strong, long-lasting support for fixed dental restorations.
- Provides reliable structural stability for crown placement.
- Made from quality alloys for greater strength and durability.
- Easy to clean and adaptable to regular clinical hygiene routines.
- Helps restore patient confidence in oral function, esthetics, and long-term dental health.
Clinical & Technical Information
Metal Post & Core is an endodontic restoration system that restores severely damaged, endodontically treated teeth with strong internal reinforcement and reliable support under full-coverage crown restorations, all based on traditional principles. It has good mechanical resistance and durability, especially for use in the posterior parts where occlusal forces are high. There are cast, prefabricated, gold alloy, cobalt-chromium, and CAD/CAM titanium-based BestoDental Metal Post & Core variants to fit various clinical needs and workflows.
1. Indications
Our Metal Post & Core systems are Suitable For:
- Severely endodontically treated teeth with extensive coronal structure loss
- Teeth requiring strong mechanical retention for full-coverage crown restorations
- Posterior teeth subjected to high occlusal loading forces
- Cases where esthetic requirements are secondary to functional strength
- Teeth requiring core build-up reinforcement after root canal treatment
- Replacement of failed or insufficient core build-up restorations
- Single-unit crown restorations requiring durable post support

3. Aesthetics
Here are the aesthetics for our Metal Post & Core systems:
1) Functional-Driven Restoration Design
Metal Post & Core prioritizes structural integrity and long-term crown stability under high occlusal loads.
2) Posterior-Oriented Clinical Application
Primarily indicated for posterior regions where strength and durability are more critical than esthetics.
3) Long-Term Mechanical Stability
High-modulus metal materials ensure rigid support and resistance to deformation over time.
4) Broad Crown Compatibility
Supports multiple crown types including full metal, PFM, and ceramic restorations with appropriate design considerations.
Order FAQs
1. What information is required to submit a Metal Post & Core case?
Please provide the patient name, tooth number, endodontic treatment status, post space depth and shape information, STL scan files or impressions, and any instructions regarding final crown restoration type and material.
2. Do you accept digital scan files for Metal Post & Core cases?
Yes. We accept STL files and digital impressions from major intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM systems. Accurate post space data or high-quality model scans are required for precise fabrication.
3. Can you scan a digital file for cases that will be used as Metal Post & Core?
Yes. We can take STL files and impressions from most intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM systems. Precise post space data or good model scans are necessary for accurate fabrications.
4.What kind of metal materials do you have?
Depending on indications and budget we can offer metal posts as cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr), nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr), stainless steel prefabricated posts, titanium alloys and high noble gold alloys.
5. What is the usual time for the summary to be written?
Typically Metal Post & Core cases can be completed in about 3-5 working days. Additional time may be needed for cast cases or for complicated custom designs.
6. What is the difference between cast and prefabricated post & core?
The disadvantage of cast post & core is that it is custom made to fit the root canal anatomy and will not match exactly, while prefabricated posts are more standardized and will have quicker clinical procedures and less laboratory time.
7. What records are recommended for accurate fabrication?
Please provide detailed post space measurements, periapical radiographs, STL scans/impressions and details of final crown design and occlusal requirements.
8. How to get a good fit in the root canal?
These cases are evaluated carefully with available anatomical information and optimized adaptation and retention are achieved with custom fabrication techniques.
