New everStick POST glass fibre posts for root canal restorations have recently become available from Minerva Dental.

The product from Stick Tech Limited is a flexible, resin-impregnated, uncured glass fibre post which can be light-cured into the exact shape of the prepared root canals, resulting in precision fitting fibre posts with high flexural strengths.

This flexibility is close to that of dentine and considerably reduces the risk of root fracture, according to the company.

Conforming to the shape of each root canal, they can be cemented adhesively to the canal walls, minimising the need for enlargement.

They are particularly suited to the restoration of oval and curved root canals and are also recommended for difficult cases eg teeth with small roots and thin canals or multi-rooted teeth with diverging canals. Finally they can be used in conventionally enlarged root canals.
