Biolight Dual

Advanced Fiber Endodontic Double Taper Post System

Shaped for Success

While many fiber posts simply mimic the shapes of popular metal posts, Biolight DUAL is designed to fully benefit from fiber technology
The larger coronal tapers dramatically improve adaptation throughout the length of the canal
The large coronal diameter increases strength, support and stiffness where the post bonds to the core
The conservative .02 taper in the apical portion minimizes tooth structure removal
The overall shape offers a superior adaptation to the canal, minimizes the removal of dentin, and keeps the resin cement layer (the weakest link) to an absolute minimum

Superior Physical Properties

The materials used to make Biolight DUAL posts continually excel in independent studies and evaluations.

1. Superior Fatigue Resistance

Tested to 3,000,000 cycles of resistance to failure in fatigue testing.

When compared against popular brands of fiber posts, the Biolight DUAL post material has shown statistically superior resistance to breakdown from repeated cyclical stresses. This type of cyclical testing shows the ability of a post to stand up to the intraoral rigours of continual flex during mastication.

3. Superior Shear Modulus

A recent independent university study comparing the shear modulus of various fiber posts produced these results:

Force required to BREAK post (MPa)

$dual_fracture_graf$

BIOLIGHT DUAL:	102.87 MPa
ParaPost® Taper Lux:	86.12 MPa
FRC Postec® Plus:	90 MPa
RelyX™ Fiber Post:	85.94 MPa

5. Superior Radiopacity

Simple in-house comparative testing shows that Biolight DUAL fiber posts are considerably more radiopaque than other popular high-radiopacity fiber posts.

In an independent university study, The Biolight DUAL material against exhibited superior radiopacity to all other fiber posts tested:

Radiopacity of fiber posts

BIOLIGHT DUAL:	205.90
FRC Postec® Plus:	106.67
RelyX™ Fiber Post:	88.04
ParaPost® Taper Lux:	64.67

2. Superior Fracture Resistance

In a comparative evaluation of popular fiber posts by a renown independent institute, the Biolight DUAL material was #1 in fracture resistance.

Force required to FRACTURE post (MPa)

BIOLIGHT DUAL:	133 MPa
D.T. Light Post®:	117 MPa
Luscent Anchors™:	100 MPa
ParaPost® Fiber White:	99 MPa
Snowpost:	58 MPa
FiberKor™:	58 MPa

4. Superior Bond

In a head-to-head independent study, when compared against an epoxy resin fiber post, the Biolight DUAL material showed statistically superior bond to popular self-adhesive resin cements.

In another comparative post study, SEM revealed that the Biolight DUAL material exhibits more surface roughness that all other posts, which contributes to the superior bonding ability.

Biolight DUAL offered the same adhesion without any surface treatment, or with treatment of either alcohol or H2O2 and silanization for 60 seconds.

7. Epoxy and BisGMA-FREE

All Biolight products are manufactured without the use of either Epoxy or bisGMA resins.

8. Excellent light transmission

Excellent light transmission for use with dual-cure resins, Biolight DUAL offer excellent light transmission through the optic fiber material.
