Indirect fabrication of multiple post-and-core patterns with a vinyl polysiloxane matrix.
In the described technique, a vinyl polysiloxane material is used as a matrix for the indirect fabrication of multiple custom-cast posts and cores. The matrix technique enables the clinician to fabricate multiple posts and cores in a short period of time. The form, harmony, and common axis of preparation for all cores are well controlled before the definitive crown/fixed partial denture restorations are fabricated. Oral tissues are not exposed to the heat of polymerization or the excess monomer of the resin material when this technique is used.
