Super Fiber Post provides expert curing down to the apex, 5x radiopacity for superior visibility, and a dentin-like elasticity for strong, long-lasting restorations
A cake can’t bake without even, constant oven heat. Similarly, a cell phone won’t work without a charged battery. Readjusting these analogies to dentistry, a light-cured dental cement won’t fully cure without the prescribed amount of light. And it’s that last analogy that led to the development of iLumi Sciences’ Super Fiber Posts. Ensuring that a light-curing material is fully polyermized is critical to successful restorations. But time and time again, especially in difficult-to-access preps with low visibility, it becomes a guessing game—and it’s a game no one wants to play.
Developed over a decade ago, Super Fiber Posts are based on innovative fiber-optic technology and check off 3 critical boxes for restorative success:
1. Unmatched light transmission all the way to the apex to expertly cure cement
2. 5x radiopacity for detailed X-ray visibility and correct placement
3. Dentin-like elasticity that flexes with the tooth under pressure and reduces the risk of root fracture
Visibly Cures to the Apex
The patented fiber-optic technology distributes omnidirectional photocuring light throughout the entire post and all the way to the apex, which provides visual evidence of complete and consistent polymerization deep into the root canal.
“Super Fiber Posts come ready to place, and the light cures through the post,” shared Alan M. Howard, DMD, in Encino, CA, who started using the Super Fiber Post after seeing them up close at a dental convention. “I feel this is the best post on the market, and the price is very competitive.”
Superior Mechanical Strength
A 1-step system, Super Fiber Posts are preprimed and pre-etched, which saves time and improves bond strength. The posts also are available in a ser-rated form for extra bonding strength. “These posts are extremely strong,” Dr. Howard added.
In addition to their strength, Super Fiber Posts also are highly esthetic, owing to a frosted white, shadow-free design. For convenience and ease of use, they feature color-coded stoppers and come in hygienic blister packs.
“I have been using these posts for many years, and over time, they have become my ‘go-to’ post solution,” Dr. Howard concluded.
