The new pro line is a good addition to the EXATEC, CYTEC and CONTEC root posts made of HT Glassfiber, which have been tried and tested worldwide for more than 30 years.
It is characterized by the same outstanding properties, particularly with regard to stability and secure bonding with the composite.
pro LightTransmitting over the entire apical post area for an optimized and at the same time shortened primary curing of the composite, right up to the tip of the root post.
The dentist gains valuable seconds in a tightly timed schedule to be able to carry out the next work step without losing time.

The new pro modules feature the same outstanding properties as the proven CONTEC and CYTEC root posts, which have been successfully used for more than 30 years, in particular:
- Optimized Flexural Strength
HT-Glass Fiber, translucent: 1.430 MPa (nach EN ISO 178)
HT-Glass Fiber, 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
The surface of our root canal posts is retentive. Under SEM, the micro-retentive structure of the glassfiber can be seen, enabling a strong adhesive bond with the composite—without the use of a silane—simple and efficient.
Results from a scientific study at the University of Rostock confirm this for the CYTEC system.
The results are transferable to CONTECpro, as both posts share the same surface structure.
This scientific study was conducted in collaboration between the »Clinic for Dental Prosthetics« and the »Institute of Biomedical Engineering« at the University of Rostock.
The study investigated »The influence of macro- and microstructure on the wetting and retention properties of root canal posts in vitro«.
CYTEC achieved the highest bond strength in comparison. This demonstrates that the unique surface structure of the root posts supports micro-retentive adhesion and leads to optimized bonding between the post and the adhesive cement.
