Endodontic Root Canal Post

The FILPOST Endodontic Root Canal Post is the only prefabricated post retention system that can be customized to suit the restoration for root post and core build up. FILPOST can be bent and shortened to suit the canal without risk of fracture, enabling easy insertion of multiple posts into converging canals.

Unique passive interlock for strong retention, created by retention grooves along the post and retention grooves formed within the canal surface by the FILPOST Universal Groover.
Easy to customise to suit canal without risk of fracture, enables two or more posts to be easily inserted into converging canals.
NO drilling required avoids the risk of perforation and saves time as no need for drilling.
Anatomical shape minimizes dentine removal during placement, preserves tooth structure, avoids weakening the tooth.
Anti-rotation vents along entire length, relieves hydrostatic pressure during placement.
Micro-roughened surface for added post retention.
99.8% pure titanium biocompatible, will not corrode, compatible with all dental materials.

When to Use

To provide retention of restorations by single or multiple root posts.

How To Use

(Full instruction set included with every package.)

Step 1

Remove adequate gutta percha from root canal and then use a Gates Glidden drill or equivalent to create a post space to the required depth and shape.

Step 2

To create retention grooves on the inner surface of the canal, attach the FILPOST Universal Groover onto a slow-speed handpiece, insert into the canal up to the desired depth and rotate once or twice using a slow circular motion.

STEP 3

Select the correct sized FILPOST and carefully place into the root canal. Bend and shorten the post as required to suit the shape and length of the canal and the proposed core build-up.

STEP 4

After confirming correct adjustment, clean the canal space and cement FILPOST into the root canal using any type of luting cement.

STEP 5

Final build up of the core and restoration can now take place.
