ParaPost ® – Fiber Posts Benefits
Metal-Free Aesthetics
› › All ParaPost Fiber Posts are ideal for highly aesthetic, metal-free restorations within their individual characteristics › › Fiber Posts are made of translucent or opaque fiber resin materials that reflect the natural hues of the tooth and eliminates shadows through all-ceramic crowns or composite restorations at the gingival/crown interface. › › Its elasticity performance rivals that of dentin – less risk of fracture of the root since loading is more evenly distributed › › Less brittle than ceramic root posts
Superior Head Design
› › Rounded, undercut multi-head designs minimizes stress in the core material due to polymerization shrinkage › › Multi-head designs for easy post length adjustment › › Multi undercuts help to increase mechanical retention of the core material › › Antirotation surfaces stabilize the adapted core build-up
Using computer analysis and imaging*, areas of stress concentrations can be predicted. Red indicates areas of greatest stress.

The rounded head design of the Fiber Lux and Fiber White reduce stresses in the core material and thereby prevent micro-fractures
Posts that have heads with sharp edges or angles create stress points in the core material that can lead to micro-fractures
Fast On-Command Cementation
› › The translucent, light – transmitting fiber resin material of ParaPost Taper Lux and Fiber Lux allows the use of light-curing cements and core material. › › Greater control over cement set time › › Free choice between dual-or self curing resin cements

Superior Strength
› › High percentage of unidirectional fiber clusters gives excellent strength characteristics, without compromising flexibility › › Retention ledges increase mechanical retention › › Cylindrical post design evenly distributes functional forces and eliminates the wedging effect of tapered posts Uniformly unidirectional fiber clusters strengthen the post structure without compromising flexibility.

The radiopacity of ParaPost Fiber Lux and Taper Lux allows the posts to be seen clearly on a radiograph.
Outstanding Monobloc Restoration
ParaPost Fiber Posts are made for the use of resin based cement and core build-up materials (e.g. ParaCore) to provide an optimal “monoblock” between the dentin-post-crown, resulting in one cohesive restoration with outstanding durability and strength
Extraordinary Bonding Fiber Lux – 140 × enlargement

Fiber Lux undergoes a chemical bond with self- and dual-curing cements and all core materials with a composite base. This ensures a homogeneous restoration.

What Makes ParaPost ® X ™ Posts So Resistant To Oblique Forces? It’s the combination of a unique manufacturing technique and retention pattern
X-Shape Manufacturing Retention pattern is made by a special cold-forming process which produces an uninterrupted fibrous grain structure in the alloy, increasing the post resistance to oblique forces.
Traditional Manufacturing Traditional machined retention patterns produce an interrupted grain structure in the alloy, reducing the post resistance to oblique forces.
X-Shape Retention Pattern The retention pattern has a larger
Traditional Retention Pattern Traditional circular retention patterns have a smaller cross-sectional area at each groove, which concentrates oblique forces toward the inner areas, reducing the post resistance to oblique forces.
cross-sectional area at any point along the entire post length, providing greater resistance to oblique forces.
Yield strength Tensile strength
Titanium Alloy ParaPost X Posts are made from Ti6AL4V titanium alloy which is twice as strong as pure titanium. Ti6AL4V is used for high stress-bearing implant parts (ie., hip joints, dental abutment retaining screws).

Hints And Tips For A Successful Post Preparation
Crown / Root / Post Proportions
1. Selected Post diameter shall not be larger than 1/3 of root diameter 2. Post length in the root should be as long as the height of the crown 3. Post length should be at least ½ of root length 4. 1/3 of post length should be located in the coronal area and 2/3 in the root 5. Apical stop shall be at a least 4 mm
Ferrule Effect
Preserving sound coronal and radicular tooth structure to create a ferrule effect is crucial for the optimal biomechanical behavior of restored teeth. 1.5- to 2 mm of ferrule has a positive effect on fracture resistance.
Residual dentinal walls are expected to be at least 1 mm thick. An incomplete ferrule is considered to be a better option than a complete lack of ferrule. In teeth with no coronal structure orthodontic extrusion should be considered rather than surgical crown lengthening.
Biologic Width
The biologic width is the distance from the depth of the gingival sulcus to the crest of the bone (average 2.04 mm*). Biologic width is inviolable to protect
periodontal health, which is one of the keys for tooth and dental restoration longevity. This distance can be corrected with crown lengthening: surgical osteotomy, gingivectomy or orthodontic extrusion. * Schmidt JC, Sahrmann P, Weiger R, Schmidlin PR, Walter C. Biologic width dimensions – a systematic review. J Clin Periodontol 2013; doi: 10.1111/jcpe.12078.

One System – Core Build-Up And Cementation
ParaCore®
3 Indications – 1 Material 3 Colors – 2 Timings – 1 Material
Dual-cured, glass- reinforced composite for post cementing, core build-ups and crown & bridge cementation.
ParaCore simplifies the post and core restorative technique with its ability to be used as a 3-in-1 material for post cementation, core build-ups and crown & bridge cementation. ParaCore can also be used to cement inlays and onlays. Using one material for cementation and core build-ups provides an optimal “monoblock bond interface” between the dentin-post-crown, resulting in one cohesive restoration with outstanding durability and strength.

SoloCem®
Secure cementing does not depend on the number of working steps. Self-adhesive SoloCem achieves reliable values – with no additional bonding. This is the result of monomers contained and the composite-like formulation. The convenient automix syringe and the ready-to-use mixing tips offer a simple and time-saving application of SoloCem. Easy to use and time-saving high bonding strengths without additional adhesive; low shrinkage; antibacterial zinc oxide; high radiopacity.
Easy and fast application SoloCem saves you time without having to forego reliable bonding. MDP and 4-MET(A) monomers ensure good bonding values on a range of different materials without requiring a separate adhesive. This simplified form of application reduces the risk of potential error sources which could affect the bond and thus the quality of the entire restoration.
››Self-adhesive properties ›› Fluorescent
››Automix syringe and ready-to-use mixing tips ›› Intraoral processing time of approx. 60 seconds ›› Easy removal of excess material (after light curing for 3 s)
Indications The easy handling of SoloCem offers advantages in a number of indications. You can count on the self-adhesive properties of SoloCem for the permanent cementation of:
