RTD TESTIMONIALS GENERAL FIBER POST

Testimonials - General Fiber Post

"Traditional post and cores have shown clear limitations, due to physical properties which poorly adapt to those of the natural tissues; as a result, numerous and dramatic clinical failures were often encountered. The development of fibber posts have been a breakthrough for the reconstruction of severely decayed non-vital teeth. RTD have played a pioneer role in the continuous improvement and application of this technology to Dentistry. Our fatigue studies have clearly shown the potential of their different post systems to sustain physiological forces, when used with an appropriate adhesive technique. Our clinical experience totally sustains in-vitro findings."
Dr. Didier Dietschi, PhD, Senior lecturer, Dept. of Cariology and Endodontics, University of Geneva., Switzerland

"In my own clinical experience I have placed more than 2500 fiber posts and the RTD post has always performed well. In the laboratory investigations we have made, RTD fiber posts were the best among those available on the market."
Prof. Marco Ferrari, Professor and Chair of Restorative Dentistry and Dental Materials, University of Siena, Italy

"The use of syntethic fibers in dentistry has completely revolutionized our daily practice. RTD company, THE pioneer in this field, has always been careful to provide us with very reliable products of the highest quality. We are convinced that the fiber post, used with a rigorous bonding technique and a selected composite, holds the key for successful restoration."
Pr. G. F. Koubi, Head of Department of Conservative Odontology and Endodontics, Faculty of Marseille, France

"RTD fibre posts have been widely accepted by clinicians over the past decade as one of the methods in rehabilitating endodontically treated teeth, including me. A large part of this success is due to the significant advances in dentine bonding technology, to the improvement in the mechanical properties of fibre posts and, above all, to the accumulating clinical data that show good and predictable performances."
Dr. Franklin Tay, Faculty of Dentistry; Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, University of Hong Kong.

"I have used RTD fiber posts since they became available in North America with very good results. They are more similar to the structure of natural dentin than any previously used post. They act as a shock absorber, dissipating much of the stress that is directed onto the restored tooth, and showing excellent transverse strength. I can bond these to tooth structure, composite core materials and resin cements, and the current generations are esthetic partners to my final all-ceramic restorations."
Dr. George Freedman, Private Practice, General Dentistry, Markham, Ontario, Canada Associate Director, Esthetic Dentistry Education Center, State University of New York at Buffalo, Director of Postgraduate Program in Esthetic Dentistry, Eastman Dental Center SUNY Rochester, NY, USA

"In the last 9 years, when facing an endodontically treated tooth with a high risk of fracture, I’ve always used Composipost, Aestheti-Plus and DT Light-Post. In none of these cases, using fiber posts, have I had a root fracture. When I use Light-Post and DT Light-Post in anterior teeth, with the placement of a ceramic crown, both function and aesthetics are always achieved."
Dr. Josep M. Casanellas Bassols, Assistant Professor, Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Barcelona, Spain

"In the field of endodontically treated teeth, resin composite and fiber posts represent the standard and the future of these kind of adhesive reconstructions. The proven mechanical properties of RTD posts and an impeccable presentation contribute to their high reliability."
Dr. J.L Brouillet, Vice Dean & Professor, Faculty of Odontology, Marseille, France

"I am an RTD fiber post user since the beginning (1991) and I must admit that this is a definitive turn away from the use of cast posts and a complete modification in the era of adhesive dentistry…ideal for the economy of time as well as its reliability, without forgetting their utility even in the hands of an inexperienced user."
Dr. Giovanni Battaglia, Private Practice, General Dentistry, Cefalu, Italy

"Disillusion and problems concerning the traditional metal posts and cement are now only memory. After hundreds of cases solved with fiber posts, I still discover new applications for them because of their enormous capacity for adaptation. With RTD fiber posts, I no longer have limits to my imagination."
Dr. Michele Rossini, Odonto-stomatologist, Monguzzo, Italy

"In my clinical experience, I have placed 1500 RTD carbon fiber posts over 12 years, 180 RTD quartz fiber posts in 5 years. I have experienced NO root fractures, 4 carbon fiber post fractures, and no quartz fiber post fractures, and 11 debondings (carbon fiber posts). Quartz fiber posts have shown a very high resistance even for posterior teeth. The bests posts on the market!"
Dr. A. Dallari, Private Practice, Ododontic and Prosthodontics, Modena, Italy

"I have been using the RTD fiber post systems for over 10 years with great success. Using a post system that mimics tooth structure in terms of physical properties greatly enhances their ability to resist traumatic stress, and the ability to bond them into canals seems to actually strengthen endodontically treated roots. Additionally, the fact that they can easily be retrieved makes them the obvious choice in my practice."
Dr. Tony Pensak, Private Practice, General Dentistry, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

"I use RTD fiber posts and I like the simplicity of use as well as the excellent results I get from my daily practice."
Dr. Alberto Anda, UPV Estomatologia Department, Spain

"I have used the RTD fiber posts since their introduction into the United States. 1995 gave us the carbon fiber series, and at present I use the quartz fiber Aestheti-Plus and DT Light-Posts. These posts have exceeded any expectations I have had."
Dr. Patrick Roetzer, Private Practice, General Dentistry, Consultant in Restorative Dentistry; Veterans Administration, Benecia, CA, USA
