Limited Warranty
UniCore posts are composed of glass fibers. The translucent and radiopaque UniCore Post responds to compressive forces as dentin would, without compromising the durability of the restoration. The gentle taper of the UniCore Post corresponds to the natural anatomy of the tooth and perfectly matches the post space created by the UniCore Drill. The UniCore post is noticeably more radiopaque than the leading competitor. The benefit of this glass-fiber post is that it allows light to be transmitted all the way down to the bottom of the post space.1 UniCore glass fiber posts have a flexural strength similar to dentin.2 When used with PermaFlo DC resin, UniCore Posts showed better bond strengths than competitors.3
The five sizes and colors of UniCore Posts correspond to those of the UniCore Drill. The UniCore Drill is unique in its ability to remove obturators while preparing a post chamber that perfectly corresponds to its post. The UniCore drill features a patented heat-generating tip, which facilitates the removal of fiber posts, rigid carriers, and traditional gutta percha. The drill’s heat-dissipating, diamond-coated collar preserves tooth structure, and its specially designed flutes cut canal walls laterally instead of vertically.
