<P> A post and core ( colloquially known as a `` post '' or `` dental post '' ) is a type of dental restoration used either to stabilize a weakened tooth or provide an anchor for a crown . Utilized when inadequate tooth structure remains to support a traditional restoration , it consists of the insertion of a small rod ( known as a `` post '' ) into the root space of an affected tooth , leaving several millimeters protruding . The protrusion is then used to support a large filling , or anchor a crown . </P>
