White Post DC Size 0.5 without Drill

Clinical Overview

The Whitepost DC Size 0.5 is part of FGM’s intraradicular post system, consisting of double‑tapered fiber posts made from fiberglass composite and high‑strength epoxy resin. Designed for narrow root canals, it conserves dentin and delivers mechanical strength with a modulus similar to dentin, enhancing stress distribution and minimizing fracture risk. The pre‑silanized, translucent post also facilitates light transmission during resin cement polymerization.

Key Benefits

• Size 0.5 for narrow canals: Ideal for fine or conservative endodontic anatomy.
• Double‑tapered design: Anatomically shaped to minimize dentin removal and improve adaptation.
• Elastic modulus similar to dentin: Reduces stress concentration and risk of root fracture.
• Pre-silanized surface: Enhances adhesive bond strength with resin cements without additional treatment.
• Radiopaque and translucent: Visible on radiographs and allows light-curing through the post for reliable cement polymerization.

Kit Contents

• 5 × Whitepost DC Size 0.5 posts (approximately 0.6–0.8 mm apical diameter)
• Refill format: drill not included
• Instruction leaflet

Technical Specifications

• Post size: DC 0.5 – approx. 0.6–0.8 mm apical diameter
• Material: Fiberglass composite with high‑strength epoxy resin
• Modulus of elasticity: Comparable to natural dentin for biomechanical compatibility
• Surface: Pre‑silanized for improved resin adhesion
• Visibility: Radiopaque; translucent for light transmission during curing
• Available formats: Refill (5 posts, no drill) or introductory kit (with drill) for Size 0.5

Indications

• Post‑and‑core build‑up in endodontically treated teeth with narrow canals
• Cases with limited remaining coronal tooth structure
• Support for composite core and indirect crowns in aesthetic zones

Instructions for Use

1. Select appropriate post size using a radiographic overlay template.
2. Prepare canal with matching drill for Size 0.5 (not included in refill kit), preserving 3–5 mm of apical gutta‑percha.
3. Disinfect post in alcohol or chlorhexidine and apply silane (if not factory-silanized).
4. Etch canal walls with 37% phosphoric acid (~15 s), rinse and gently dry.
5. Apply adhesive or resin cement via lentulo or application tip; seat post carefully to working length.
6. Light‑cure through post (if applicable) or allow self‑curing per cement instructions.
7. Trim coronal excess and proceed with core build‑up and final restoration.

Summary

FGM Whitepost DC Size 0.5 (Ref. 19344) delivers a specialist solution for cases requiring intraradicular posts in narrow canals. Its anatomically accurate, glass-fiber design offers biomechanical compatibility, strong adhesion, and optimal light transmission for resin cement curing. Ideal for refined post selection without over-preparing tooth structure.
