CORE BUILDUPS OF ENDODONTICALLY TREATED TEETH often use a root post to provide the basis for a stable buildup. However, it is common for situations to arise that limit the possibilities for using conventional root posts, such as atypical root anatomies (e.g., overly curved root canals, pronounced conicity, etc.).
Rebilda Post GT bundled glass fiber–reinforced resin posts each consist of multiple diametrically smaller (0.3 mm) posts. The number of finer posts in these bundles varies, dependent on required post size. These eliminate the need to mechanically prepare the root, preserving healthy tooth structure and minimizing trauma to the tooth.
High radiopacity, high flexural strength, high fracture resistance, and elasticity similar to dentin allow Rebilda Post GT to be used for routine post-and-core procedures and for procedures with atypical root canal anatomies. After Rebilda Post GT is seated within the root canal, the bundled posts spread out to increase the surface area for the core buildup restoration. This increases the adhesion and retention values of the buildup restoration.
Rebilda Post GT is translucent and comes in four different traditionally sized posts: 0.8 mm (4 finer posts), 1.0 mm (6), 1.2 mm (9), and 1.4 mm (12). The system can be ordered as a complete kit with five posts of each size, Futurabond U SingleDose, Ceramic Bond, and Rebilda DC, or the posts can be ordered separately by size. The system is compatible with all core buildup materials and requires no change in technique.
