D.T. Light-Post®

The D.T. Light-Post is an advanced fiber post with a high level of flexural strength, light transmission and radiopacity. The double-tapered profile allows a less invasive canal preparation, preserving as much dentine as possible. The elastic modulus close to dentin grants high mechanical compatibility with the natural tooth structure and prevents root fractures. In the market since over 20 years, D.T. Light-Post is the subject of more than 130 published studies and long-term clinical trials.

Two apical tapers based on scientific, anatomical measurements.
Parallel coronal section to assure greater strength in the critical cervical area.
Rough surface studied for an efficient bonding and long-term retention.
Radiopacity (ISO 4049) up to 200% Al to facilitate X-Ray detection.
Available in 4 sizes (diameter/length) complemented by a dedicated set of drills.
Posts and drills are provided in hygienic blister packaging.

More information

Available in four colour-coded sizes, the D.T. Light-Post is designed to support the dentists in various clinical situations. The rings on the posts match the drills' colour code and help to distinguish one size from another.

Testimonials

Rich Trushkowsky, Private Practice, General Dentistry, Staten Island, NY, USA

If you are looking for a post that will provide most of your requirements, the DT Light-Post should definitely be considered.

Christian Decloquement, Former Assistant of University of Paris VII, France

I have used RTD carbon fiber posts since 1988 with great time reliability, and have enjoyed the evolution of the posts in shapes and composition. The latest generation, DT Light-Post, is very convenient for the rotary endodontic technique and have a perfectly codified protocol placement, with the same mechanical properties (close to dentin) in order to protect these non vital teeth.
