. This post and core consists of a single ''smooth'' or ''serrated post'' and core which has an additional ''circle ring'' (counter sink) around it. The additional single-circle ring increases the contact surface area between the core and involved part of tooth significantly. Increased contact surface area decreases the

General indications

The main indications are: *Severely damaged crown * Trauma *Tooth wear (

erosion Erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location where it is deposited. Erosion is di ...

) * Hypoplastic conditions *As part of another restoration *Combined indication *Non-vital teeth

Disadvantages

The disadvantages are as follows: * Requires an exact casting ( an exact cast post-core is required to get the highest result, particularly, when the depth of prepared canal is less than ''50% of the root length''), * A specific bur is required, * Increases plaque accumulation and changes in composition,Abolmasov N.G., Abolmasov N.N., Bichkov B.A., Alkhakim A. (2003). Orthopedicheskaia Stomatalogia. Moscow / Medpress-inform, , p187-201 * Damage to soft tissues and remaining teeth, due to either poor denture design or lack of patient care,

, then analyse the possibility of treatment of the fractured tooth canal. In addition, the condition of the tooth for using the bur requires to be checked as well.

Bur

The designed bur for treating teeth is a bur consisting of ''a central guider'' and two symmetrical cutter to produce a single-circle ring. This bur is used after preparation of the root canal similar to other posts. The two main ''advantages'' of this bore are

. The bur is designed in ''different sizes'', which make it available for using in treatment of various teeth. The depth of the prepared ring is in direct proportion with the size of bore.Makhnitski M.B.(1999) The New Post System. Young Scientists and Students–Scientific Medical Seminar review in 1999. Ministry of Health of Ukraine and National Medical University / thesis, 20-23 Kvitnia, Kyiv, Ukraine – 1999, p61 One of the major problems of using this post system is its bur, which means without having the bur it is impossible to use it.

Initially it was presented at the 54Th Medical Science Conference of Students & Young Scientists in 1999, that was organized by Ukraine Health Ministry and National Medical University known as O.O. Bogomolets and Society Science Students known as O.O. Kisilia. The result of presentation was published in "Young Scientists and Students / Scientific Medical Seminar in 1999". In 1999 it was requested for the patent (УДК; 616.314-76-77:616.314.11-74:678.029.46:612.311)and became a part of research of the Orthopedic and Implant Stomatology Department of the National Medical University. This new modified post-core was under study till 2004 and then attested by the Dental Scientific Board of Ukraine.
