title: Fabricating a fiber-reinforced post and zirconia core with CAD/CAM technology.
abstract: This article describes a technique for overcoming the limitations of dental scanners in imaging post spaces by using a single fiber-reinforced post and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, thereby eliminating the need for a 'Scan Post' and the post and core module in the CAD. This technique produces an anatomically correct core and ensures the correct thickness of crown restorations.
