Abstract:

Custom made cast post core provide flexibility in restoring grossly decayed tooth, since they are retained from the root canal. The fabrication of a pattern for a cast post core can be made either directly in the patient's mouth or indirectly on the working cast. When done directly in the patient's mouth, one has to innovate in order to fabricate two different patterns that are decided by the angulation of the roots. We present a direct technique of fabricating a pattern using duralay resin in two different canals of mandibular right first molar. The technique is simple and bring effective results. The technique is based on making one pattern directly in line with major root canal and the other pattern as part of the core that has a root extension.

Keywords:

dowel, core, base metal alloy, porcelain fused to metal, duralay resin.
