title: Direct post and core pattern made with light-curing composite resin.
abstract: An unfilled Bis-GMA composite resin can be used advantageously for making an accurate cast post and core pattern. The technique is faster and easier than normal pattern fabrication methods using an unfilled acrylic resin, wax, or a combination of the two.
