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, especially in terms of 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.
In a tight schedule, the dentist gains valuable seconds to be able to carry out the next step without losing time.

- Dentin-like elasticity
- High stability
- Secure adhesion
- Functional post design
- Easy root canal revision
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
- High radiopacity
- Optimized, strong bond to composite
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.
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.
