Fiber
posts – the beginning:
Unlike metal or
ceramic, fiber posts exbibit
physical properties that are
very similar to dentin. This
reduces stress transmission
to the root, avoiding the possible
irreversible longtitudinal fracture
associated with other materials.
Early clinical studies by Mannoci
and Ferrari showed a 9% root
fracture rate with cast posts
at 4 years vs. a 0% fracture
rate with fiber posts at 4 years. |
DT Post®
offers an ideal solution from both
a prosthodontic and an endodontic
point of view.1, 2
Apical portion
at .02 taper conserves the apical
tooth structure, allows for use of
longer posts and reduces the risk
of incorrect post room preparation.1,
2
With middle portions or varying tapers,
DT Post® follows the natural shape
of the canal walls, reducing the need
for canal modification and optimizing
post strength.1, 2
The larger diameter, parallel coronal
portion offers a significantly stronger
post than either a single taper or
parallel alternative, while reducing
the amount of resin cement in the
coronal space.1, 2
“The
DT Post® shape design offers better
adaptation of the post to endodontically
treated canals without compromising
the final restoration.” 1,

Choosing
the right post size:
When using parallel
or non-anatomical posts, clinicians
often have selected the smallest
post possible in order to
conserve remaining dentition.
This choice has also been
influenced by the rigidity
of steel or titanium. With
anatomical fiber posts (DT
and ISO), the clinician can
select a larger post size
without risk of root fracture
and without reducing remaining
tooth structure. |

Eliminate
Root Fractures with DT Post®
DT Post® is manufactured
from advanced glass fibers in
a UDMA matrix. The modulus of
elasticity closely resembles
that of natural dentin, thus
preventing the transmission
of occlusal forces to the root.
Stainless steel, zircanium and
titanium posts transmit occlusal
forces to the root, increasing
the risk of root fracture.3

How
can fiber posts be compared?
Unlike metal
posts which exhibit identical
physical properties from brand
to brand, the quality of fiber
posts is subject to a wide
variation. When a fiber post
fractures, it is really the
resin/glass fiber interface
that is de-bonding. The first
test that is used to Evaluate
the manufacturing quality
is a standard fracture load
test (e.g. CRA), which shows
how much force is required
to break the post. The second
test simulates de-bonding
under repeated load (Dental
Materials). This tests the
post’s ability to withstand
occlusal forces over time. |
