Impression Post & Core Restoration Case

Written by SHINING 3D DENTAL | Feb 2, 2026 7:32:16 AM

Overview

This article explores single and dual impression post & core restoration case examples. We used an AutoScan-DS-EX Pro blue light 3D scanner with exocad software. Since exocad does not feature the post & core design process, we defined the restoration type as a telescope crown. This helped avoid undercut.

 

Single Post & Core Case Study

1. Single Post & Core impression Scan

Scan the single Post & Core impression with DS-EX 3D scanner and get the scan data.

 

 

2. CAD Design

Import the scan data into exocad directly and start designing.

 

 

3. Printing

  • 1. Setting

  • 2. Printing

  • 3.Use line cutting to cut the post&core from the metal plate. 

  • 4.Then polish the Post&Core and blast it.
