CYTEC is designed for roots that are more cylindrical.
HAHNENKRATT was the first company in Germany to offer a carbonfiber root post back in 1995. This was followed in 1998 by the first root post made of quartz fiber. At IDS 2001, we introduced the new CYTEC-system, which is manufactured with root posts made of HT-Carbonfiber or HT-Glassfiber.
As the demand for carbonfiber root posts has decreased considerably in recent years for aesthetic reasons, we no longer offer the CYTEC & CONTEC as carbonfiber posts but only as glassfiber posts. The white, semi-translucent root posts made of HT-Glassfiber provide you with the basis for esthetically successful restorations.

- Optimized Flexural Strength
HT-Glassfiber, translucent: 1.430 MPa (nach EN ISO 178)
HT-Glassfiber, 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 additional mesh structure on the surface of the CYTEC post enhances the adhesive bond between the microporous surface of the post and the resin. The result is an exceptionally 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.
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.
