Curion Exclusive
Available in four color-coded sizes, the Double Taper Light-Post X-RO is designed to fit virtually any clinical situation. The intrinsic post colors match the drill markings and help the clinicians distinguish one size from another. With this Illusion Technology, the color disappears within seconds at body temperature, but the color can be reconstituted, if necessary for re-treatment.
Illusion X-RO posts correspond to the same drill sizes as the original Double Taper Light-Post system for the same reliable dimensional accuracy that you have come to expect.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
- Flexural Strength: 1800 - 2000 MPa
- Interlaminate Shear Strength: 60-70 MPa
- Elastic Modulus: 15GPa - same as dentin
- Fatigue Resistance: >10 Millions Cycles Without Breaking
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- X-RO Fibers utilize a proprietary coupling agent that increases the bond between the fi ber and the epoxy matrix. Together they improve Flexural Strength by at least 200MPa over previous generations of RTD posts. The values given here are from the respective manufacturers
- Radiopacity of the X-RO is ~50% greater than previous generations of RTD Posts, to reach 340% of Aluminum equivalent. The radiopacity of the post itself varies from 360% (D.T. size 0.5) to 730% (D.T. size 3)
- Color-coding for easy identification - before or after placement. Posts match the drills
- With patented ILLUSION technology, intrinsic color-coding disappears when seated, re-appears on demand, if removal ever becomes necessary
- Translucency provides esthetics and expedites the dual-cure cementation procedure
- Corrosion-free and biocompatible. X-RO has passed cytotoxicity, and also intradermal reactivity, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity and hypersensitivity, in order to ensure complete biocompatibility and safety
- Atraumatically removable in minutes
