Trauma & Post-Endodontic Care
Post & Core Build-Up
Rebuilding structure inside a root-treated tooth so it can support a definitive restoration.
What is it?
After root canal treatment, a heavily broken-down tooth may require a post and a core build-up to provide the foundation for a crown. Material selection draws on Dr. Habib's Master's-level background in biomaterials of the oral cavity.
