Treatment planning extensively broken-down mandibular molars for post-and-core fabrication.

Because of their unique radicular anatomy, mandibular molars require careful treatment planning for post-and core fabrication. Indications for post-and-core fabrication for endodotiticaliy treated mandibular molars are discussed, and immediate and cast post-and-core techniques are reviewed. An alternative design for a cast post and core is also presented. (Quintessence Ini 1998:29:351-355)
