Improved dentin preservation and better aesthetics are two of the convincing advantages of VDW's DT Posts. These are resulting from VDW's Double Taper Shape design and quartz fibre technology: the key to a long-lasting endodontic treatment success.
For endodontically treated teeth with more than one missing dentin wall the placement of a post to maintain the coronal structure is strongly suggested. To place it properly, it is key to retain as much dentin as possible while preparing the root canal beforehand. VDW's DT Posts with Double Taper Shape preserve more dentin as the two-stage design corresponds optimally to the morphology of the prepared root canal. Thus, the dentist avoids unnecessary dentin removal to fit in the post.
The DT Posts' break-resistant quartz fibre material has advantageous mechanical characteristics. Its low modulus of elasticity distributes chewing forces correctly and minimises the risk for root fractures. Thanks to the quartz fibre material's translucency properties the patient benefits from better aesthetics.
