- A comprehensive dental post system used to provide structural support for core buildup materials in endodontically treated teeth
Uses
- Complete Restoration Setup:
- Ideal for dental practices looking to implement the Pac-Flex system, as it covers the most common root canal sizes (Size 0, 1, and 2)
- Long-Term Biocompatible Anchoring:
- Specifically used for patients who require titanium instead of stainless steel due to biocompatibility needs or long-term durability
- Complex Core Foundations:
- Used to anchor core materials in teeth with significant structural loss following a root canal
Features
- Titanium Construction:
- Offers high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent biocompatibility compared to stainless steel alternatives
- Split-Shank Technology:
- A patented design that allows the shank to collapse slightly during insertion, redirecting stress toward the post rather than the tooth root
- Wider Coronal Shank:
- Increases the "intimacy of fit" in the wider, upper section of the root canal for improved stability
- Venting Channel:
- A vertical groove that prevents the buildup of hydrostatic pressure during cementation, ensuring the post seats fully
- Serrated Head with Cross-Slots:
- Provides high mechanical retention for core materials and allows for wrench placement in tight spaces
Benefits
- Safety:
- Significantly lowers the risk of vertical root fractures by managing insertion stresses through the split shank
- Versatility:
- The assorted kit allows clinicians to treat various canal diameters immediately without needing separate refill kits
- Precision:
- Matching drills and reamers are color-coded to the posts, ensuring a perfectly calibrated fit every time
- Enhanced Retention:
- Sharp, active threads cut into the dentin rather than compressing it, providing superior mechanical anchoring
