Innovative fiber-optic post system saves time, improves bond strength, and delivers photocuring light all the way to the apex to ensure complete polymerization
When it comes to peer-to-peer reviews, the absence of negative findings can often serve as a testament to a product's excellence. When the Super Fiber Post was placed into the hands of a dozen capable dentists during a weeks-long DPS product review, that’s exactly what happened. Earning high marks for its ease of use, exceptional radiopacity, and reliable retention, the Super Fiber Post earned a score of 4.6 out of 5.
“I like the posts,” said David Martin, DDS, MAGD. “I found that the sizes were desirable and required less root removal to fit the posts. Having a pre-primed post also allowed for quicker insertions.”
The Super Fiber Post’s uniform composite structure provides superior mechanical strength, while dentin-like elasticity reduces the risk of root fracture. The posts also are pre-primed and pre-etched to improve bonding strength.
Polymerization Insurance Plan
The core of each Super Fiber Post incorporates total internal reflection, a phenomenon that allows it to distribute photocuring light throughout the entire post all the way to the apex—ensuring complete polymerization. “This gives me additional security that my adhesive and cement are completely cured,” noted Dr. Martin.
Perhaps the icing on the cake is that the Super Fiber Post provides more than 5 times aluminum radiopacity at 1 mm, which makes it easy to visualize placement details on radiographs.
“I feel that I would utilize these posts in almost all situations where posts are needed,” concluded Dr. Martin. “The Super Fiber Post is a great addition to the restorative portion of the practice. I could find no negatives while using them.”
