Abstract
Post and core systems are often required for restoration of endodontically treated teeth to provide retention and stability for definitive crowns. Conventional cast posts, also known as the gold standard, offering strength and adaptability to canal morphology. but remains to be a sensitive technique, involving multiple steps fragile to distortion and inaccuracies. The Advances in digital dentistry, particularly computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), have enabled the fabrication of custom posts and cores while improving reproducibility, reducing chairside time, and superior or equivalent fit accuracy compared with traditional methods. A systematic review of studies published from 2015 and 2025 indicates that CAD/CAM milling and 3D printing provides reliable adaptation and expanded material choices such as fibre-reinforced composites, ceramics, and titanium, producing biomechanical and aesthetic benefits. However, the limitations in intraoral scanner depth capture, high cost, and the lack of long-term in vivo evidence restricts its widespread clinical adoption. While digital workflows are promising, conventional methods remain relevant until further feasible validation.
