The D.T. (Double Taper) Light-Post™ is our pre-eminent fiber post shape today. Introduced in 2000, it maintains the famous HIGH-STRENGTH-LOW-MODULUS attributes of our previous generations, but in a conservative anatomic shape. To learn more about the development of the D.T.

TESTIMONIALS
"I used RTD fibre posts for many years and my own experience shows excellent results with carbon fibre and particularly, these last years, with quartz fibre posts. Today, biomechanical behaviour, interfaces, "adhesive systems / fibre posts" and aesthetics of these posts are highly satisfying. The DT Light-Post system presents a shape in accordance with root anatomy and coronal reconstitution and also with endodontic preparations like actual variable taper systems." Dr. Olivier Moyen, Maître de Conférences des Universités, Department of Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics,Toulouse, France.
