Clinical Overview
The Whitepost DC Kit from FGM is a comprehensive intraradicular post system that includes five double‑tapered fiberglass posts and matching drill per size: DC 0.5, DC 1, DC 2, DC 3, and DC‑E 2. Fabricated from fiberglass composite within an epoxy resin matrix, posts feature high mechanical strength, translucency to assist resin polymerization, radiopacity for radiographic verification, and a modulus of elasticity comparable to dentin to reduce root fracture risk.
Key Benefits
- Full size range: Includes DC 0.5, DC 1, DC 2, DC 3, plus DC‑E 2 to accommodate narrow through wide canals and varying coronal anatomy. Five posts and drills per size.
- Double‑taper post geometry: Enhances adaptation while preserving root dentin and minimizing structural removal.
- Fiberglass composite with epoxy resin: Ensures high strength, esthetic translucency, reliable light transmission for cement curing, and radiopaque visibility.
- Matching drills included: Size‑specific drills standardize canal preparation and optimize post fit.
- Dentin‑like elasticity: Stress distribution similar to natural tooth structure reduces risk of root fracture.
Kit Contents
- 5 × posts of each size: DC 0.5, DC 1, DC 2, DC 3, DC‑E 2 (25 posts total)
- 5 × corresponding drills (one per size)
- 1 × radiographic template for accurate post-size selection
- Instruction leaflet
Technical Specifications
- Post sizes: DC 0.5, DC 1.0, DC 2.0, DC 3.0 and special DC‑E 2.0 variant
- Material: Fiberglass composite with epoxy resin core
- Elastic modulus: Comparable to dentin for biomechanical compatibility
- Surface treatment: Pre‑silanized to enhance resin adhesion
- Visibility: Radiopaque for imaging, translucent for light‑activated cement polymerization
Indications
- Post‑and‑core build-ups in endodontically treated teeth with varying canal diameters
- Cases with minimal coronal structure where reinforcement is needed
- Use with dual-cure or light-cure resin cements where light transmission is beneficial
- Wide canals or compromised coronal anatomy using DC‑E format
Instructions for Use
- Use the included radiographic template to determine appropriate post size based on canal anatomy.
- Remove gutta-percha to leave 3–5 mm apical seal, then prepare canal with the matched drill for selected post.
- Clean post with alcohol or chlorhexidine; confirm silanization (factory-treated).
- Etch canal walls (~15 s with phosphoric acid), rinse and gently dry.
- Apply resin cement or adhesive into canal via lentulo spiral or micro-tip, insert post to length, seat under pressure. Light‑cure through post or allow chemical cure per cement instructions.
- Trim excess coronally and proceed with core build-up and restorative finishing.
Summary
The FGM Whitepost DC Kit (Ref. 55317) delivers a full-array intraradicular post system with five posts and matching drills per each of five sizes (including DC‑E option), a radiographic guide, and clinician-ready instructions. Ideal for diverse canal anatomies, it supports structural reinforcement, predictable adhesive bonding, aesthetic outcomes, and streamlined post‑and‑core workflow.
