What do you use for...post and core materials?

Dec. 17, 2020
This week's video features Dr. Howard Glazer in his western wear as we discuss posts and cores. Dr. Maragliano-Muniz shares why she only uses cast posts in very specific cases, while Dr. Glazer makes some recommendations for pre-fabs.

Welcome to our weekly installment of “What do you use for ...” videos.

Today, Dr. Howard Glazer dons his finest western wear to talk hitching posts. Or, as most of us in the dental world know them, post and core crowns. We discuss personal preferences, common issues dentists face when placing posts, and under what circumstances we find posts most useful.
