Medicept SelfPost

Unique Shape – The double conical shape of Selfpost 

The greater diameter can be found near the point where, on average, the post emerges from the tooth. In this way, stresses are discharged by the more resistant portion of the post, giving a great advantage in the overall strength of the restored tooth.

Benefit

• Aesthetic
• Translucent
• Radiopaque
• Biocompatible
• Highly resistant
• Resistant to sterilization in autoclave
• Resilient (greater resistance to unexpected shocks)
• Elasticity modulus when bending greater than that of the dentin
• High level of surface roughness and better adhesion to cements

Advantages

The conicity of the coronal portion reduces the interference with the residual dental structure or with the other post and improves the insertion into the canal. The shapes and diameters have been calculated for use with Ni-Ti , as they accurately reproduce the conicity , which are 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08

The Highly Retentive Surface

The surface roughness of the posts is extremely important as this influences the adhesion* strength with the adhesive cements used Microtensile bond strength of fiber post: effect of surface roughness.
