Essential Dental Systems, Inc. announces the introduction of its new passive post, EZ-Fit. EZ-Fit encompasses unsurpassed design and function in comparison to any other passive fiber post on the market today. EZ-Fit's multiple tiered design allows the post to be countersunk into the tooth preventing apical stress under pressure. EZ-Fit's positive seated head stabilizes restoration by resting on the tooth and stabilizing tooth structure, all while safely dissipating the stresses of occlusion. Featuring undercuts on the head and shank, EZ-Fit provides excellent core material retention and locks in post cement providing high retention of the post shank.
