title: [The clinical behavior of metal-composite post and core build-up. Results of a pilot study].
abstract: During the period 1974-1986 112 post and core buildups were inserted in 74 patients. The buildups consisted of a metal prefabricated post (Dentatus, Unimetric or Radix) in combination with a composite core. After an average follow-up period of 7.9 years 14 failures (12.5%) were noticed. Eight teeth could be rerestored and six teeth had to be extracted. However, when correction was made for teeth with a bad initial prognosis and for extractions not related to the buildup restoration, eight failures remained caused by failure of the buildup (7.5%). Half of these concerned Dentatus posts.
