Unnecessary dental work

If you have an abscess tooth that has to be pulled, and a recommended fixed 3 tooth bridge put in, why is a core build up necessary if the teeth on each side of the pulled tooth is in good condition?

A core build up should not be necessary.  A post and core build-up are only used on a tooth that had root canal therapy.  You are correct.
