Double Taper Light-Post®

The Double Taper Light-Post, is an advanced fiber post that adapts to the contours of the prepared canal rather than forcing the dentist to adapt the canal to fit the post. Each post has two separate apical tapers, based on scientific, anatomical measurements, and a parallel coronal section.

In addition, the surface of the post is intentionally roughened to a highly micro-mechanical surface for excellent bonding and long-term.

Curion is proud to be the only authorized and exclusive distributor of the Double Taper Light-Post IIllusion® X-RO® posts in Canada. All RTD by Dentsply products sold by Curion are backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
