Core-Post FAQs

A post that flexes like natural tooth structure used in core build-up when needed or for added strength.

The Core Post was designed to flex with teeth under normal conditions, thus eliminating tooth stress and fractures that can occur with a standard metal post. They have nearly identical coefficient of thermal expansion and modulus of elasticity to dentin, which allows them to exhibit such ideal physical characteristics.

Select glass-fiber posts for anterior teeth where esthetics are paramount and a tooth-colored core is needed. The low modulus of elasticity is similar to dentin and allows for flexure without root fracture. Carbon-fiber posts have an increased strength and modulus of elasticity that allow their use in select posterior as well as anterior cases.

Yes. Core-Posts are visible on radiographs.

Core Posts are available in glass or carbon fiber posts, each of which is available in the following sizes: 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.0mm. Core Posts are sold in a value kit (50 posts), and in a single vial kit (10 posts) of one size per kit. There is also an Intro Kit available, which contains 2 carbon posts (1mm and 1.5mm) and 2 glass posts (1mm and 1.5mm).

88% of THE DENTAL ADVISOR consultants rated Core-Post as good as, or better, than the post system they are using. It was awarded the highest rating from THE DENTAL ADVISOR.
