Use of an intraoral scanner and CAD-CAM for simultaneous restoration with a personalized titanium post-core and a zirconia crown

J Oral Sci. 2023 Oct 22. doi: 10.2334/josnusd.23-0186. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCustomized posts-and-cores have been widely used for improved fitness within a prepared post space. However, in comparison to direct restoration, they necessitate an increased number of appointments for patients. A 24-year-old man presented with a maxillary left canine that had fractured due to trauma 10 months previously. For this case, a digital process was used for simultaneous restoration with a personalized titanium post-and-core and a zirconia crown achieved with an intraoral scanner (IOS) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM). This workflow allowed the restoration to be completed in 2 visits, facilitating more effective and predictable treatment, with reduced time and cost for the patient.PMID:37866924 | DOI:10.2334/josnusd.23-0186
