Clinical Overview
The Whitepost DC Size 3.0 kit from FGM includes five cylindrical double‑tapered fiberglass composite posts (approx. 1.2 mm apical diameter) with a dedicated size‑matched drill. Designed to reinforce endodontically treated teeth, the posts mimic dentin elasticity, deliver high bonding efficiency, allow light transmission for resin polymerization, and offer radiopacity for post‑operative verification.
Key Benefits
- Size 3.0 design: Suitable for wider canals where greater structural retention is needed.
- Double‑tapered geometry: Anatomical adaptation with minimal canal enlargement necessary.
- Fiberglass composite with epoxy resin: High mechanical strength, esthetic translucency, and radiopacity.
- Dedicated drill included: Ensures precise canal preparation and standardized post placement.
- Dentin‑matched elasticity: Minimizes stress concentration and reduces risk of root fracture.
Kit Contents
- 5 × Whitepost DC Size 3.0 posts (~1.2 mm apical diameter)
- 1 × Matching drill for Size 3.0 post
- Instruction leaflet for post selection and placement
Technical Specifications
- Post size: DC 3.0 (~1.2 mm apical diameter)
- Material: Fiberglass composite embedded in epoxy resin
- Elastic modulus: Similar to natural dentin for biomechanical harmony
- Design: Double‑taper enables anatomic fit with minimal canal modifications
- Surface: Pre‑silanized for enhanced bonding to resin cement
- Radiopaque & translucent: Permits both radiographic visualization and light‑curing of cement.
- Kit format: Posts with matching drill included (intro kit version)
Indications
- Retention of restorations in wide root canals or teeth with minimal coronal structure
- Post‑and‑core build‑ups in endodontically treated teeth needing aesthetic and mechanical reinforcement
- Cases where light‑cured resin cement is used—translucent post aids polymerization
Instructions for Use
- Radiographically select appropriate size using FGM’s radiographic template.
- Prepare the canal with Size 3.0 dedicated drill, keeping 3–5 mm of apical gutta‑percha intact.
- Clean post with 70% alcohol or chlorhexidine; apply silane agent to post surface if needed (may be pre-silanized).
- Etch canal walls (37% phosphoric acid, approx. 15 s), rinse thoroughly and gently dry.
- Apply adhesive or resin cement via lentulo or tip; insert post carefully to working length. Light‑cure through post or allow self‑cure as indicated.
- Trim post coronally, perform core build‑up, contour and finish restoration.
Summary
The FGM Whitepost DC Size 3.0 kit (Ref. 19343) offers a complete endodontic post solution for wide canals needing structural reinforcement. Its kit includes five double‑tapered fiberglass posts, dedicated drill, and takes advantage of dentin‑like elasticity, radiopacity, and translucency. Engineered for a secure, aesthetic, and safe post‑and‑core workflow.
