Nankali post and core classification

Nankali post and core classification is the most advanced classification that is used in restorative dentistry for grouping different types of post and cores.

About other classifications

There are a number of posts with different designs and clinical indications that are used in restorative dentistry and due to this wide range of provided posts and cores, professionals are not any more able to use the general conventional clinical indication which were discussed similarly in many referral books. This is the reason that posts and cores' classification start to play an important role in understanding and verifying the type of these micro-prosthesis.

The popularity of these Classifications in the world is not similar and they are mainly related to the professionals, referral books and publications that is used in particular country. Language is another issue which change the conditions. For instance, in some countries, a number of posts are banded and in some others they are not approved yet or unknown to be used by dentists.

One of the very old types of post and cores classification is according to their authors and still in some ways it is used. Yet, the main issues with this classification are the repetition of the systems and also the minimum required information about the system is required to be able to recognise a particular post. Furthermore, it is very difficult to put all the names in the posts' classification, although by using it we will appreciate the authors. Having in mind that there are many authors, here a partial example of this classification is illustrated.

Classification of post and cores according to their authors:

1- Ahmmedov 2- Davis 3- L.V. Illinoi-Markasian (Л. В. Ильиной – Маркосян) 4- A.I. Kats (А.Я. Кац) 5- Kopeikin (Копейкин) 6- A. Nankali 7- Orton 8- V. N. Parshin 9- Richmond 10- Sharogorodski (Шаргородски) 11- Shiragodski (Ширакой) 12- D.N. Sitrin 13- ...

Classification of post and cores according to their method of production: 1-Pre-fabricated 2-Cast made.

Classification of post and cores according to their outlines:

1-Parallel 2-Tapered 3-Serrated

Classification of post and cores according to their surface: 1-Simple (straight) 2-Formed (shaped)

In 1998, Dr. Ali Nankali, as one of the people who was interested in restorative dentistry, started to worked on application of posts and cores by analysing and studying the available systems and in 2003 after five years research he modified some of the existing classifications, and as a result he proposed to the scientific board of the Orthopaedic and Implant department of the National Medical University a new classification to explain some misunderstandings.

Using mathematical models and cast models, Dr. Ali Nankali was able to analyse, compare and categorise the structures in different ways which was a part of this study. Thus, the Nankali's post and core classification is based on designs, methods of production, retention/resistance systems and clinical indications.

There was an established interesting outcome, which was explained that many dentists do not use posts in their appropriate way, which means they apply them in the way that they understand by themselves, and this fact causes two main problems, consuming time and failing the post.
