The post and core has undergone many changes throughout the last few decades. Many of us were taught cast gold post and cores in dental school, only to switch to direct placed metal posts after graduation to save an appointment. To keep anterior teeth from looking gray, many switched to zirconia posts before learning they may cause root fractures due to their stiffness. Modern post and core technique features fiber reinforced resin posts with a dentin like elasticity, paired with a dual-cured nano-hybrid core build-up material.

The reality is that if the dental practice isn’t bringing more money in, the doctor/CEO cannot afford to hand more money out – no matter how “hard working and loyal” you and your colleagues might be. But that doesn’t mean you have no control over your income potential. In fact, just the opposite is true. Employees, especially the office manager and business staff, have a profound impact on the profitability of the practice and can directly improve their income potential provided they keep a laser focus on one critical area of the practice: overhead. Learn what being on the frontline means for you and the practice.
