Post and core tooth preparation for cast gold.

Post and core tooth preparation for cast gold.

The cavity is removed except on the disto-lingual perimeter.  This decay will be removed during the next visit after the post is inserted, during the crown preparation. It was not removed today to avoid bleeding in an area we want to keep dry.  Excess gutta percha has been removed from the pulp chamber so that the cast gold post and core will fit directly against rigid tooth structure. The parallelism for the post insertion was created by angling the coronal portion of the post space in a palatal direction.
