Product contains: 10 Piece per PU

Size

Clear

Contec is suitable for roots that are rather conical. The double cone approximates the natural shape of the root canal.

HAHNENKRATT GmbH was the first company in Germany to offer a carbon fiber root post back in 1995. This was followed in 1998 by the first root post made of quartz fiber. At IDS 2001, we introduced the new Cytec root post system, made with HT carbon fiber and HT glass fiber root posts.

As the demand for carbon fiber root posts has decreased considerably in recent years for aesthetic reasons, we no longer offer the Cytec & Contec as carbon fiber posts but only as glass fiber posts. The white, semi-translucent root posts made of HT glass fiber provide you with the basis for esthetically successful restorations.

Advantages of our HT glassfiber root post systems

High bending strength
of 1,678 MPa (EN ISO 178) for HT glassfiber optimizes the stability of the root construction.
HT stands for High Tenacity, for highest bending strength and fatigue resistance.

Homogeneity of the root construction
The fiber composite materials have an elastic behavior that is more similar to that of dentin than that of titanium or zirconium, for example. The root post, composite and residual tooth thus form a more homogeneous unit that supports the stability of the construction.

Functional post
The shape of the post consists of a double cone. In the head area, rounded retentions support bonding with the composite and they also serve as anti-rotation. In the apical region, spiral-shaped grooves provide decompression and retention.

Microretentive surface
Exatec, Cytec and Contec differ from other root posts the special mesh structure of the post. This micro-retentive surface supports the adhesive bond between the post and the resin (bonder/composite). The result is a secure adhesion – even without the use of a silane – quite simple and efficient.
