A post and core is a dental restorative system for endodontically treated teeth with insufficient remaining tooth structure to support a crown. It involves placing a post into the prepared root canal and building up a core of restorative material on top of it to provide a stable base for the final crown or restoration. This procedure is necessary when the tooth is severely damaged, but there are no remaining healthy tooth walls to provide adequate retention for the crown.
