Abstract This resource is a self-guided instructional module on the fabrication of a cast post and core. It is designed to assist learners through the detailed step-by-step instructions of the procedure. In this resource, two techniques are demonstrated: direct fabrication and indirect fabrication of the post and core pattern. Learners can use this resource for self-paced learning while faculty can utilize it to augment lectures and discussions. This resource has been used in preclinical courses for several years. Students reported positive experiences in terms of learning at their own pace. The pictures and instructions provided a useful guide for students in learning the cast post and core.
