EXATEC, CYTEC, and CONTEC differ from other root posts thanks to the unique mesh structure of their post surfaces. This microporous surface enhances the adhesive bond between the post and the resin (bonder/composite).
The result is a secure retention —even without the use of a silane—making the process simple and efficient.
Titanium root posts: High rigidity, but higher risk of root fractures
HT glass fiber root posts: Better force distribution, dentin-like modulus of elasticity to minimize root fractures
1. CYTEC
• Material: HT glass fiber (High Tenacity)
• Shape: Cylindrical-conical
• Surface: Micro-retentive, no silanization needed
• Application: For roots that are mostly cylindrical
• Available in various diameters (e.g., 1.0 mm to 2.1 mm)
2. CONTEC
• Material: HT glass fiber (High Tenacity)
• Shape: Double cone
• Surface: Micro-retentive
• Application: For roots with a conical shape
3. EXATEC
• Material: HT glass fiber or titanium (EXATEC-Ti & EXATEC-S)
• Shape: Conical in the apical area, some with a post head
• Surface: Micro-retentive (for glass fiber versions)
• Application: Especially suitable for teeth with severely destroyed coronal areas
The new pro modules feature the same outstanding qualities as the trusted CONTEC and CYTEC root posts, which have been proven for over 30 years, especially through:
pro LightTransmitting along the entire apical area of the post enables optimized and at the same time shortened initial curing of the composite, right up to the tip of the root post. In a tightly scheduled workflow, every second counts, providing valuable time savings so the dentist can proceed immediately to the next step without delay.
