This document outlines the steps for a custom post and core lab procedure:
1. Remove decay and shape the canal with gates glidden drills and endodontic files.
2. Measure the canal depth and prepare the tooth for a post by removing undercuts and checking crown length.
3. Fabricate a post by selecting the appropriate size and shape, then build up the core around the post to the desired height.
4. Finish the preparation by reducing tooth structure and adding chamfers and bevels.
