title: Custom core construction using glass-ionomer cements.
abstract: Crown loss is a frequent problem, and it is often compounded, particularly in the elderly, by fracture of the underlying natural core. Reconstructing the core in either amalgam or composite resin can have disadvantages. This article suggests a method for constructing replacement cores at one visit using glass-ionomer cements.
