The FibreKleer® Post System: Now with 50% more Radiopacity!
The FibreKleer® Post from Pentron Clinical Technologies, LLC is the latest generation of fiber posts offering superior strength and outstanding esthetics
with the added feature of light transmission through the post. All FibreKleer Posts are engineered with a unidirectional arrangement of glass fibers in a proprietary clear resin matrix for posts that provide a flexural strength of 1577 MPa, 45% stronger than the original FibreKor™ Post, and an improved flexural modulus of 26 GPa.
The clarity and transparency of the FibreKleer post enables it to blend seamlessly with natural dentition for beautiful esthetic restorations that eliminate the grey gumline effect that frequently occurs with metal posts. For immediate and easy detection on radiographs, all FibreKleer Posts are radiopaque.

More: Why Choose Fiber Posts Over Metal?
Fiber posts are often used in cosmetic cases in place of metal posts because of their ability to disappear under all ceramic restorations. However, this is not necessarily the best attribute of fiber posts. It has been proven that teeth restored with FibreKleer Posts are significantly less likely to result in root fractures than teeth restored with metal posts. FibreKleer Posts have been engineered to minimize root fractures, and the data from an independent study proves it.
The ability of FibreKleer Posts to preserve and protect roots enables clinicians to retreat and restore the tooth even if the restoration fails. When metal posts fail, teeth are significantly more likely to fracture and retreatment is not an option as extraction would be required.

Light Transmission
The light transmission provided by the FibreKleer Posts offer the capability for immediate photo initiation of dual-cure resin cements.
Esthetic
Due to their transparency and ability to blend with natural dentition, FibreKleer Posts are ideal for use under metal-free restorations. The transparency of the post
takes on the shade of the restoration so the tooth can be restored without compromising the esthetics of the final restoration.
All FibreKleer® Posts offer the following benefits:
