RTD DT Fiber Light Post

The RTD DT Fiber Light Post is a genuine French-made fiber post system with an elastic modulus close to dentin, designed to reinforce endodontically treated teeth while reducing the risk of root fracture.

Clinical Uses

• Post-and-core build-ups for endodontically treated teeth prior to crown restoration
• Cases where dentin-like flexibility is preferred over rigid metal posts, to help prevent root fracture
• Used with the matching RTD Light Post finishing drill for a precise canal-to-post fit

Key Features

• Elastic modulus of 15 GPa, close to dentin, for mechanical compatibility with tooth structure
• Patented X-RO fibers for high strength, fatigue resistance, and radiopacity (340% of aluminium)
• Fiber-reinforced composite construction that cannot corrode and has passed biologic safety testing
• Double-tapered (DT) apical section conserves dentin
• Parallel coronal section for maximum strength in the cervical and restorative zones
• Micro-retentive surface for push-out retention comparable to parallel metal posts
• Patented Illusion colour-coding to match post-to-drill and simplify removal if needed

FAQ

Why does the elastic modulus matter for a fiber post?
An elastic modulus close to dentin (15 GPa) means the post flexes similarly to the tooth structure around it, reducing the concentrated stress that can lead to root fracture with more rigid posts.

What does the colour coding mean?
Each size has a matching colour (Black #0.5, Red #1, Yellow #2) shared with RTD's finishing drills, so you can match the post to the correct drill size and reduce confusion during placement or removal.

Do I need a special drill for this post?
Yes, use the matching RTD Light Post finishing drill in the same colour/size to shape the canal correctly before cementing the post.
