FILPIN is to be considered whenever core build-up is used and less than one half of a coronal tooth structure remaining. Bonding alone is not sufficient in many situations were minimal tooth structure is present. Pins provide anti-rotational benefit when a single post is used.
FILPIN, designed engineered to make placement easier, faster, safer, stronger. The shaft is 99.8% pure titanium, biocompatible, compatible with all dental materials and will not corrode. The self-threading, self-aligning pin speeds and eases placement for self-shearing first time, every time once optimum depth is reached. After insertion FILPIN can be easily bent to suit the restoration without breaking it or the tooth. A unique thread design maximizes retention strength without causing internal stresses that may lead to cracking or crazing.

Click on the left hand tabs for a brief overview on how to use the Filpin Restoration Retention System. (Full instruction set included with every package.)
FILPIN is made by FILHOL DENTAL, a company specialising in the manufacture of high quality retention pins for 40 years. Millions of FILPIN Dentine Pins have been used worldwide.
Step 1
Latch the correct sized drill head (for your chosen size of FILPIN) onto a slow-spreed handpiece and make a pilot hole up to the drill's self-limiting depth of 2mm. Repeat as necessary. NB: Ensure the pilot hole is drilled at a speed of 1500rpm or less.

Step 2
Latch a FILPIN onto the handpiece and insert into the hole - hardly any pressure is needed to encourage the pin to insert. Once the correct depth of 2mm is reached, FILPIN will self-shear at exactly the right point. Repeat as necessary. NB: Ensure the pin is inserted at a speed of 1000rpm or less.
