French RTD Quartz Fiber post Macro-lock Post Illusion

Detailed Product Description

 French RTD Quartz Fiberpost Macro-lock Post Illusion

Superior retention is just the beginning 
 

 Introduction

RTD has used proprietary, radiopaque QUARTZ fibers in its posts since 2000 (with and without intrinsic color-coding). RTD posts with this fiber/resin composition have been successfully evaluated in clinical trials.

Moreover, published in vitro studies rate these quartz fiber posts as the highest in terms of radiopacity, flexural strength and fatigue resistance.

The post is designed with a series of serrations and passive threading cut into the surface, to provide self-retention regardless of the cementation media used. It is provided for dentists not completely comfortable with the total-etch / moist bonding materials & techniques, or dentists who would prefer to use glass ionomer cements with resin core materials.

Independent research (pending publication) shows retentive strength previously unattained.

Macro-Lock Illusion also has patented ILLUSION technology; intrinsic color-on command color coding that disappears when placed and reappears if re-access becomes necessary.

Interlaminate Sheat strength (ISO 14130)	60-75MPa
Radiopacity (ISO 4049)	1.25-1.50 mm Al equivalent
Fatigue strength(RTDS protocol)	> 10millions cycles without breaking
