CONTECpro
pro LightTransmitting –
for optimized and accelerated primary curing.
The new translucent pro root posts are an excellent addition to the CONTEC root posts, which have been successfully used in dental practices worldwide for over 30 years and are made from white opaque HT glass fiber.
pro LightTransmitting provides light transmission throughout the entire apical post area, allowing for optimized and shortened primary curing of the composite up to the tip of the root post.
The new pro line is characterized by the same outstanding qualities as the CONTEC:
-
Optimized Flexural Strength
HT-Glasfiber, translucent: 1.430 MPa (nach EN ISO 178)HT-Glasfiber, opaque: 1.400 MPa (nach EN ISO 178)
-
Optimized Fatigue and Fracture Resistance
-
Homogeneity through Dentin-like Modulus of Elasticity
-
Optimized, strong bond to composite
- High radiopacity
Strong adhesive bond due to a microporous, micro-retentive post surface
The additional mesh structure on the surface of CONTECpro posts supports the adhesive bond between the micro-retentive surface of the post and the resin. The result is a particularly secure adhesion—without the use of a silane— simple and efficient.
Scientific studies conducted at the University of Rostock have demonstrated this for the CYTEC system. These results are also applicable to CONTECpro, since both posts feature the same surface mesh structure.
CONTECpro eco
features a retention-free design—for efficient manufacturing. Careful application of the adhesive system is especially important here.
High fatigue and fracture resistance
The high flexural strength of our HT-Glassfiber was fundamentally proven in scientific studies conducted in 2003 and 2004. Recent internal tests confirm these results.
The high flexural strength results in very high fatigue and fracture resistance. Comparative scientific studies as part of in-vitro tests at Charité Berlin in 2004 also support this.¹
