Summary Restoring broken down non‐vital teeth implies in general the provision of a post and core foundation. Many materials and techniques have been introduced for this purpose in recent years. In this article the advantages and disadvantages of the cast and the non‐cast post and core are discussed. The problems involved with the application of the post and core are reviewed. An efficient procedure for restoring a broken down tooth with a prefabricated post in combination with a composite core is presented.
