Abstract: Post and core are commonly used to repair the residual crown and root of the tooth with large defects, and to provide support and retention for the final crown prosthesis. Post and core can be divided into integrated post and core and pre-formed post plus resin core. The integrated post and core is suitable for the trumpet shape of the root canal, with good marginal fidelity and high overall strength. The traditional method of making integrated post and core is to use silicone rubber to make post space impression and cast integrated metal post and core. With the application of digital technology in stomatology, digital process of making integrated post and core has become a common clinical production method. In this paper, the research of acquiring digital impression of post space and preparing integrated post and core by digital process is summarized.
