This one-day comprehensive course is designed to provide dentists with an in-depth understanding of the ferrule concept and cast post techniques in prosthetic dentistry. Through a combination of theoretical discussions and practical sessions, participants will explore the principles of ferrule design, surgical and non-surgical approaches to gaining ferrule, and the evolution of cast posts. The course also covers the latest materials and technologies, including zirconium, metal, and printed posts, alongside detailed protocols for impression taking—both manual and digital—and cementation.
In the hands-on session, attendees will design and fabricate cast posts for anterior, premolar, and molar cases, followed by the practical application of cementation techniques. By the end of the day, participants will have strengthened their clinical decision-making skills and mastered evidence-based methods for achieving optimal outcomes in post and core restorations.
