[Removal of an anatomic post].

Removing an anatomical cast post requires many precaution and, in most situation, gives very good results. Nevertheless, this procedure can be dangerous for the tooth or the surrounding tissues and must be considered only in case of absolute necessity. Two techniques are described using a little hole made in the coronal part of the core. A threaded wire is driven through this hole making possible the use of a crown remover. For the second technique the use of an original appliance, the ATD bridge remover, is demonstrated with very good results too.
