The aim of this study is to review the literature on custom-made post-and-core restorations fabricated from various materials and application of various techniques. The properties and applications of posts made from metal alloys, zirconia oxide ceramics, fiberreinforced composites and the most recent PEEK material are discussed. The technologies used for manufacturing these posts, as well as the cementation methods appropriate for each material, have been analysed. Scientific studies indicate that teeth restored with custommade posts exhibit greater durability and better anatomical fit compared to standard prefabricated solutions. The most superior mechanical and clinical properties are demonstrated by posts made of zirconia oxide ceramics and metal alloys, which are characterized by high strength and long-term stability. Posts made of fiberreinforced composites offer favourable flexibility and aesthetics but show lower resistance to loading. PEEK is a biocompatible and modern material; however, its weak retention to cements and comparably lower stiffness limit its use in prosthetics. The development of CAD/CAM technology enables more precise, faster, and more predictable fabrication of custom-made posts, which may significantly improve the outcomes of prosthetic treatment.
