Abstract In a method for the production of a gold core for a prepared root-filled tooth, the prepared root canal of the tooth is filled with a gasifiable setting impression material. A prefabricated core patrix, preferably of plastic, which consists of a core portion and a dowel portion, is inserted in the impression material which is allowed to set around the dowel portion for the formation of a core pattern. The core pattern is removed from the tooth and is embedded in a mold material which is heated for the gasification of the pattern, whereupon a gold core is cast in the mold formed after the gasification of the pattern. A core patrix for the production of a gold core for a prepared root-filled tooth is made as a single piece and consists of a core portion and a dowel portion which has a substantially smaller transverse dimension than the prepared root canal of the tooth. The core patrix is preformed and consists of a gasifiable material. The core portion serves as a pattern for a gold core intended for the fixation of a tooth crown and the dowel portion is insertable in the root canal of the tooth in order there to form a fixation for a gasifiable setting impression material applied to the root canal, the core patrix and the set impression material applied to the dowel portion being usable as a casting pattern for the gold core.
A core patrix for the production of a gold core for a prepared root-filled tooth having a root canal, said core patrix comprising: a single piece made from a gasifiable material, said single piece having a core portion and a dowel portion, said core portion corresponding to and defining the shape of the upper part of the finished gold core, said dowel portion having a substantially smaller thickness than the root canal, said patrix, after the insertion of said dowel portion in a root canal filled with a gasifiable impression material and after setting of said impression material on said dowel portion, together with said impression material will form a core pattern from which the gold core is cast, said core portion including a recessed portion facing said dowel portion and the root canal, said recessed portion confining said impression material to said dowel portion.
