Itena Dentolic Glass Fiber Post Kit

Itena Dentolic Glass Fiber Post Kit is an advanced restorative solution designed to provide optimal esthetics and biomechanical compatibility in post-and-core procedures. The glass-fiber posts closely mimic the mechanical behavior of natural dentin, promoting favorable stress distribution and reducing the risk of catastrophic root fractures.

Compared to metal posts, glass-fiber posts demonstrate more repairable failure patterns and superior esthetic outcomes, making them a preferred choice for modern prosthetic and direct restorative dentistry.

Indications :

• Optimal cosmetic solution for prosthetic restorations
• Single ceramic restorations incorporating glass-fiber posts fabricated in the laboratory
• Direct restorations using glass-fiber posts

Advantages :

• Elasticity modulus similar to dentin
• Favorable deformation ratio with homogeneous stress distribution
• Reduced incidence of non-repairable root fractures compared to metal posts
• Chemical retention between the core build-up and the glass-fiber post
• Superior esthetic results
• Radiopaque for easy radiographic evaluation
• Biocompatible with no toxicity
• No risk of corrosion or tissue discoloration
• Compatible with Dentolic range reamers

Hints and Tips :

• To enhance chemical bonding, apply silane to the surface of the glass-fiber post and dry thoroughly before applying the bonding agent
• Glass-fiber posts are easier to remove than metal posts in retreatment scenarios
• To remove a post, first remove the composite to access the post
• Create an initial access point without water
• Use a diamond-tipped, sonic, ultrasonic insert, or suitable drill (without water) to delaminate the fibers and expose the canal
