In this retrospective study 516 teeth restored with a cast post and core build‐up were followed from 1970 till 1990. The data was derived from the dental records of 283 dental clinic patients treated by senior students. The survival rate was found to be 82% after 10 years for post and cores in the anterior region. The most frequent failure characteristic was recementation (46%), followed by rerestoration (32%). The solitary provisions in posterior teeth showed a relative high survival rate, compared with other tooth‐types and locations.
