D.T. Light-Post® Illusion® X-RO®

Double-Tapered Radiopaque Translucent Fiber Post System
The D.T. Light-Post Illusion X-RO* maintains all of the features and clinical history that the original D.T. LIGHT-POST® offers with the added benefit of greater radiopacity and the color-on-command technology. When the post is placed intra-orally, the intrinsic color of the post disappears allowing it to blend into the natural dentition. When retreatment or removal is ever required, the post will reappear on command by simply spraying cold water.

The D.T. Light-Post Illusion X-RO is available in 4 sizes, with each post being color-coded. The post colors match the drill markings, which helps the clinician distinguish one size from another, before and after placement.

UNIQUE BENEFITS

• Translucency enhances esthetics and light transmission
• Radiopacity allows for visibility on radiographs
• Double-tapered design closely conforms to the shape of the prepared canal to minimize dentin removal and cement layer
• Unidirectional, pretensed, quartz fibers bound in a resin matrix gives it a greater flexural strength than metal posts
• Maximum strength - no notches or serrations to compromise strength
• Fiber optic design allows light to traverse through the post so it can be cemented with light activated materials

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

• BISCO’s fiber posts have been placed in over 3,400 cases as part of a decade long multi-center clinical trial. Three (3) post fractures and zero (0) root fractures have been documented**
• Retreatment is quick with the D.T. Light-Post Removal Kit and a low-speed handpiece
• Color-on-command technology simplifies the task of removing the post in the event retreatment is ever required

Universal Primer™

Dual-Cured Adhesive

Universal Primer is for clinicians who prefer an adhesive/primer that does not need to be light-cured, fearing that the indirect restoration may not fit due to adhesive layer thickness.  Universal Primer does not need to be light-cured for post cementation or under crowns, onlays, inlays, etc. and can be used in direct restorative procedures, such as core build-ups and composites.  Universal Primer combines ease of use with virtually no post-operative sensitivity, and it is compatible with other cementation systems. 

Universal Primer is available in either a 2-bottle system or in a convenient all-in-one ACE® cartridge system and as part of the Duo-Link Universal with Universal Primer Kit.

Unique Benefits:

• Both Dual-Curable and Dual-Cure compatible
• Can be used with total-, self- and selective etch techniques
• Clinical evaluation confirms the ease of use as a benefit, with virtually no post-operative sensitivity
• Provides a seal to minimize microleakage

Clinical Significance:

• No light-curing necessary when used for indirect restorations
• Low film thickness (<5µm) allows the adhesive/primer to readily flow into etched surfaces and offers both chemical and mechanical sealing
