New RelyX Fiber Posts and RelyX Unicem self-adhesive resin cement from 3M ESPE is a single-step cement which is especially useful for the cementation of endodontic posts as it requires no pre-treatment of the root canal.

3M ESPE have also developed a system consisting of endodontic posts and drills in three sizes and specially designed elongated application tips for RelyX Unicem. RelyX fiber posts, RelyX fiber post drills and RelyX Unicem Aplicap elongation tips permit a safe and simple post cementation with RelyX Unicem self-adhesive resin cement.

Without pre-treatment of the root canal or of the post itself, the RelyX fiber post can be adhesively cemented in one step with no need to etch, prime, bond or silanize posts. The elongation tip makes it quick and easy to apply cement into the root canal from bottom to top. The elasticity of the material is similar to natural dentine, therefore the risk of root fracture is lower than with rigid metal or ceramic posts.
