- Specifically designed for use with the Pac-Flex™ Post System, it is a critical tool for the manual placement and adjustment of serrated head posts during dental restorative procedures
Uses
- Post Placement:
- Its primary function is to grasp the outer circumference of a Pac-Flex serrated head post and thread it into the dentin
- Manual Adjustment:
- Allows clinicians to precisely control the final seating depth and orientation of the post
- Trial Seating:
- Essential for threading the post into the canal to create an internal thread before final cementation
Features
- Universal Sizing:
- One wrench fits all four standard Pac-Flex post sizes (Size 00, 0, 1, 2, and 3)
- External Grip:
- Specifically engineered to fit over the exterior of the serrated post head, providing high torque for firm engagement with the tooth structure
- Ergonomic Design:
- Its compact size allows for finger-tip operation, which is critical for maintaining tactile feedback in the restricted space of the oral cavity
- Durable Material:
- Typically made of high-grade surgical stainless steel, ensuring it can be autoclaved and reused across multiple procedures
Benefits
- Fracture Prevention:
- The manual control provided by the PEW003 allows the clinician to feel resistance, helping to prevent over-tightening and potential root fractures
- Cost-Effectiveness:
- Eliminates the need for multiple specialized tools since one unit works for the entire post range
- Maximum Retention:
- Ensures the post is seated firmly enough that the sharp threads cut into the dentin, creating the highest possible mechanical retention for the final restoration
