- Endodontic product used to reinforce teeth after a root canal procedure, offering a more aesthetic option than traditional metal posts
Uses:
- Reinforcing endodontically treated teeth:
- After a root canal, a tooth may lose a significant amount of its internal structure and become brittle and prone to fracture
- Glass fiber posts are placed in the root canal to provide this internal reinforcement
- Supporting a dental restoration:
- When there is not enough tooth structure remaining to support a crown or other restoration, the carbon fiber post acts as a foundation for the core build-up material
- The final restoration is then cemented over this reinforced core
- Dissipating occlusal stress:
- Unlike traditional metal posts, which can be much stiffer than natural tooth structure, carbon fiber posts have an elasticity similar to dentin
- This allows the post to flex with the tooth under chewing pressure, distributing forces more evenly and reducing the risk of root fracture
- Providing a secure foundation for fillings:
- After the post is cemented, the remaining lost tooth structure is rebuilt around it using a core build-up material
- The post provides a secure anchor for this material, ensuring the filling is stable and long-lasting
Features:
- Aesthetic appeal:
- The glass fiber material is an ideal cosmetic choice because it does not show through the dentin, providing a more natural-looking restoration
- Elasticity similar to dentin:
- The posts have an elasticity similar to natural dentin, allowing them to flex with the tooth
- This helps dissipate occlusal (chewing) stress, reducing the risk of root fractures
- Strong and resilient:
- The posts are made from strong glass fiber bundles embedded in a special composite material, making them durable and virtually unbreakable
- Superior resistance:
- The glass fiber bundles are braided in a multi-axial arrangement, which gives the posts superior resistance to bending and torsion forces compared to single-axial fiber arrangements
- Biocompatible and non-corrosive:
- Composed of a fiber-reinforced epoxy resin, the posts are biocompatible and will not corrode in the oral environment
- Chemical bonding:
- The composite material of the posts is designed to chemically bond with the dental materials used for cementation and core build-up
