More information
The D.T. Light-Post, is an advanced fiber post that adapts to the contours of the prepared canal rather than forcing the dentist to adapt the canal to fit the post. Each post has two separate apical tapers, based on scientific, anatomical measurements, and a parallel coronal section.
In addition, the surface of the post is intentionally roughened to a highly micro-mechanical surface for excellent bonding and long-term.
Available in four color-coded sizes, the D. T. Light-Post is designed to fit virtually any clinical situation. The colored post rings match the drill markings and help the clinicians distinguish one size from another.
