FIBERCONE™ Accessory posts are made from the same material and has all of the same properties and advantages as our D.T. Light-Post™. It was developed as an auxiliary post (not to be placed by itself) with a “master” post-such as the D.T. Light-Post™ or Macro-Lock™ Post, much as if placing gutta percha cones.
Adding auxiliary posts allows much better adaptation in the case of flared and oval canals.
Do not need any additional drilling procedure.

TESTIMONIALS
"As a fiber post user for many years, I was anxious to test the Fibercone auxilliary posts in my practice and the university laboratory. Used in flared canals along-side the DT Light-Post, my cases and the specimens showed a remarkable, customized adaptation, and a very sturdy core mass. My patients and I will also get the the usual benefits of fiber post technology; aesthetics, mechanical harmony, no corrosion and excellent retention. This is a great adjunctive product for certain cases." Sandra Costa Zamboni, MS, DDS, Department of Dental Materials and Prosthodontics, São Paulo State University at São José dos Campos, Brazil.
