Indirect techniques for the fabrication of posts and cores provide some advantages over direct techniques. Indirect fabrication allows parallelism and design to be optimized. This becomes particularly important when multiple abutments are prepared. The laboratory technique, however, can create some difficulties. Posts fabricated with acrylic resin may become locked into minor cast undercuts.1 Use of wax for the post fabrication reduces this problem, but insertion and removal of the pattern during its fabrication are required.2 Although this reduces the inclusion of voids, insertion and removal may create distortion or breakage of the wax pattern. It is also difficult to orient the post correctly each time. The following procedure provides a predictable method of delivering wax to the canal and eliminates the need for removal and insertion of the pattern during fabrication.
