FIBER POSTS FIBER POSTS DOUBLE TAPER LIGHT-POST & No taper for stronger core Non-corrosive Quartz fiber construction Variable coronal taper for superior post adaptation Micromechanical surface for optimal bonding Conservative apical 0.02 taper for optimal dentin conservation DOUBLE TAPER LIGHT-POST ILLUSION *Outside Canada, “DT LIGHT POST” is a registered trademark of RTD. *In Canada, the corresponding trademark of RTD is “Double Taper LIGHT-POST” Double Tapered Radiopaque Translucent Fiber Post System UNIQUE Features BENEFITS & Benefits Translucency enhances aesthetics and light transmission Radiopacity allows for visibility on radiographs Double-tapered design closely conforms to the shape of the prepared canal to minimize dentin removal and cement layer Unidirectional, pretensed, quartz fibers bound in a resin matrix gives it a greater flexural strength than metal posts Maximum strength - no notches or serrations to compromise strength Fiber optic design allows light to traverse through the post so it can be cemented with light activated materials 200 GPa 100 GPa Low Elastic Modulus (Angle=30 o ) Double Taper Posts Dentin Titanium Steel Zirconium Cyclic Fatigue Test CLINICAL Features SIGNIFICANCE & Benefits RTD’s fiber posts have been placed in over 3,400 cases as part of a decade long multi-center clinical trial. No clinical root fractures, due to elastic modulus close to dentin 1,2,3 * Retreatment is quick with the Double Taper LIGHT-POST Removal Kit and a low-speed handpiece Double Taper LIGHT-POST ILLUSION color-on-command technology simplifies the ta<strong>sk</strong> of removing the post in the event retreatment is ever required * Double Taper LIGHT-POST / Double Taper LIGHT-POST ILLUSION are developed by RTD. ** 1.

An evaluation, using a three-point bending test, of fatigue resistance of certain fiber posts. Il dentista moderno, March, 2004, 70-74 D CEJ D 10mm D 5 Developed at University of Montreal, this is the first post to adapt to the treated canal, rather than the reverse. These tapers and diameters are derived from thousands of measurements on hundreds of endodontically treated teeth. 1-800-667-8811 / www.biscocanada.com 39
