About posts and pins
Posts are prefabricated or custom made; with a prefabricated post the space can be prepared and the post bonded in a single appointment. Fiber posts have an elastic modulus much closer to that of dentin than metal posts do. Glass and quartz fiber posts are white or translucent. Retentive pins are small metal rods cemented, driven or screwed into dentin to add retention.
A core is the foundation restoration that rebuilds enough of the crown of a tooth to carry the final restoration. A post is a rod, usually of metal or fiber-reinforced composite resin, fitted into a prepared root canal; combined with a core it provides retention and resistance for a crown.
The main purpose of a post is to retain the core; a published review notes that posts do not reinforce the tooth.
How core materials, posts and pins differ
- Core materials — The material that rebuilds the missing part of the tooth and gives the final restoration its shape and hold.
- Posts and pins — A post goes into the root canal and holds the core; a pin goes into dentin to add retention. A narrative review found similar survival for fiber posts and for prefabricated and cast metal posts.
- Post and core accessories — The drills that shape the post space to a given post size.
What to look at when choosing
Post material: metal, or fibers of carbon, glass or quartz in a resin base. The first fiber posts were radiolucent; radiopaque fiber posts followed.
Post shape and size: posts are tapered and smooth or parallel-sided and serrated, and come in numbered sizes.
Curing of the core material: light-cured composite is placed in layers of about 2 mm, and dual-cure resins were developed for deeper applications where light penetration is limited.
FDA class: metal root canal posts and retentive pins are Class I devices (21 CFR 872.3810 and 872.3740). Tooth shade resin, the material of composite cores, is Class II (21 CFR 872.3690).
