a8 I N DUST RY N EWS Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2017 Innovative bundled glass fiber reinforces resin posts Voco’s Rebilda Post GT root post is composed of multiple diametrically smaller (0.3 mm) posts Core build-ups of endodontically treated teeth often employ the use of a root post to provide the basis for a stable build-up. However, it is common for situations to arise that limit the possibilities for using conventional root posts, such as atypical root anatomies (e.g. overly curved root ca- nals, pronounced conicity, etc.). Rebilda® Post GT is a bundled glass fiber- reinforced resin post, a first of its kind con- sisting of multiple diametrically smaller (0.3 mm) posts. These bundles of finer posts, varying in number dependent on required post size, offer enhanced physi- cal properties and capabilities that enable Rebilda Post GT’s use when the above situ- ations arise. Additionally, they eliminate the need to mechanically prepare the root, preserving healthy tooth structure while Rebilda Post GT root posts eliminate the need to mechanically prepare the root, thus preserving healthy tooth structure and minimizing trauma to the tooth. Photo/ Provided by Voco in four different traditionally sized posts (0.8 mm (4), 1.0 mm (6), 1.2 mm (9) and 1.4 mm (12). The company describes the system as “a truly unique, tried-and-tested advancement in posts and cores.” Complete kit The system can be ordered as a complete kit that contains: five of each size posts, Futurabond U SingleDose, Ceramic Bond and Rebilda DC. Or the posts can be or- dered separately by size. The system is compatible with all core build-up materi- als and there is no needed change in your technique.

Elasticity similar to dentin High radiopacity, high flexural strength, high fracture resistance and elasticity similar to dentin enable Rebilda Post GT to be the solution, whether it is for routine everyday post-and-core procedures or the more difficult yet commonplace atypical root canal anatomies. After Rebilda Post GT is seated within the root canal, the bundled posts are inten- tionally spread out to increase the surface area they can offer to the core build-up res- toration. This in turn creates greater adhe- sion and retention values to the build-up restoration, which, according to the com- pany, deliver better value to the patient and the practitioner. Rebilda Post GT is translucent and comes One-take impression material can save time, material, costs According to Kettenbach, the Panasil family of high-quality performing materials reduce the number of retakes because accuracy is achieved the first time — and impressions done in one take use less material and cost less.
