The RTD LIGHT-POST combines the most modern aspects of translucency and radiopacity with the 2-stage taper design that made RTD’s fiber posts world-famous.
Made from quartz fibres, the LIGHT-POST is available in 3 sizes. Its overall design is tapered, to conserve tooth structure, and is comprised of two cylindrical sections, which provide maximum surface area for bonding and maximum bulk for strength.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
- Flexural Strength: 1600 MPa
- Interlaminate Shear Strength: 60-75 MPa
