Abstract
This report introduces an alternative clinical and laboratory technique for the direct fabrication of a custom post-and-core pattern using poly (vinyl siloxane) (PVS) occlusal registration material, followed by a digital workflow. This technique decreases chairside time, eliminates the risk of locking the pattern into the postspace and improves accuracy of the custom post-and-core.
