- A comprehensive starter set designed to provide all the essential instruments and posts needed to perform post-and-core restorations after root canal therapy
Uses
- Foundation Restoration:
- Used to provide a stable foundation for a crown or bridge when a tooth has lost significant natural structure after a root canal
- Core Build-Up Support:
- The serrated heads of the included posts are designed to mechanically lock and retain core materials like composite or amalgam
- Root Reinforcement:
- Stabilizes the tooth by anchoring the restorative material deep within the root canal space
- Narrow Access Placement:
- Specifically used in tight interdental spaces thanks to the included wrenches that interface with the internal cross-slots of the post heads
Features
- Split-Shank Design:
- Patented technology that redirects insertion stresses toward the post itself rather than the tooth root, helping to prevent fractures
- Sharp, Self-Cutting Threads:
- Designed to cut into the dentin for high retention rather than compressing it
- Venting Channel:
- A vertical groove that allows hydrostatic pressure to escape during cementation, ensuring complete seating
- Wider Coronal Shank:
- Increases the "intimacy of fit" in the wider top section of the root canal for better stability
Benefits
- Enhanced Stability:
- The serrated head design provides excellent mechanical retention for core buildup materials like composite
- Superior Accessibility:
- Cross slots in the post head allow for the use of an internal wrench, facilitating placement in narrow or tight spaces
- Simplified Workflow:
- Color-coded components reduce clinical errors and speed up chairside preparation
