SURTEX CLASSIC POSTS

The Standard

 

 

Surtex® Classic Posts are a global standard offering dentists consistently reliable solutions for post and core build-ups. Dentatus high-quality, prefabricated posts are dependable, economic and available in pure titanium, gold-plated and stainless steel materials.

 

Reliable, Safe & Easy to Use

Surtex Classic Posts are the result of experience and knowledge gained as a trusted partner to the dental industry since 1932. They are intended for passive cementation in root canals, which prevents tension buildup and risk of root fracture.

Surtex Classic Posts deliver superior retention properties with all standard restorative materials. The thread increases retention, but it’s the innovative Surtex surface texture that delivers 200% more mechanical retention as compared to non-textured posts*. Introduced in 1998, this texturized surface not only minimizes the risk of posts loosening, but also masks unsightly post exposure through restorative materials.

Features of the One-Stop Dispenser

 

Selecting the Right Post

Surtex Titanium (TST) posts are made of pure titanium and are recommended for optimal biocompatibility with surrounding tissue.

Surtex Gold Plated (RST) posts are recommended when an economical alternative is required (e.g. in temporary crowns).

Surtex Stainless Steel (SST) posts are recommended for all retentive purposes where extra strength is required.

A clear system of size markings on the reamers makes the system easy to understand and re-ordering components simple. Read more about our reamers here.

Post size selection takes into consideration a combination of both the diameter and length of the canal, and the height of the crown. The size of the post should coincide with the selected reamer and the length should be as long as possible without the post head interfering with shape, function and esthetic properties of the finished restoration. You can confirm dimensions on the measuring gauge provided on the One-Stop Dispenser. The fit in the root canal is verified without rotating the post.

parallel sided with a tapered apical end, minimizes the risk of root fracture.

THREADING
allows for secure retention to cements, increased surface area and easy canal reaccess if needed.

SURFACE TEXTURE
makes our posts more retentive & provides a non-reflective interface for superior esthetics.

ONE-STOP DISPENSER
