,Strong and highly radiopaque fiber-optic dental post offers superior light translucency, optimal esthetics, and dentin-like elasticity, ,
,Having been a practicing dentist for many years, Dr. Howard Glazer has had the ability to try out a variety of different posts in his procedures. He has found that iLumi Sciences’ Super Fiber Posts are by far his favorite., ,“I favor the iLumi Super Fiber Posts for a couple of reasons,” he shared. “No. 1, it’s the best fiber post for transmitting light all the way down through the post. A lot of manufacturers claim that their products can do that, but I found this one to have the best transillumination.”, ,Dr. Glazer also credited iLumi’s posts with being very rigid, so they withstand the build-up of the core around it and they don’t bend. “It also has a nice rubber stop on it. You can move things around as needed to make sure the post is fitting properly into the post hole.” Super Fiber Posts provide omnidirectional light transmission for efficient and consistent bond curing deep into the root canal. Each microfiber core incorporates a proprietary optical cladding—a unique and patented technology that waveguides light through the science of “Total Internal Reflection.”, ,iLumi posts have been tailored to yield more than 5 times aluminum radiopacity at 1 mm. Therefore, iLumi offers a biocompatible post of blue light transmission for a secure, time-saving, x-ray detailed, and truly esthetic restoration., ,In fact, the high level of radiopacity in these posts is Dr. Glazer’s favorite feature. “It’s one of the most radiopaque fiber posts I’ve ever seen,” shared Dr. Glazer. “This is great because I can see it on the radiograph to follow it. I’ve used some fiber posts where, unless I manually adjust my contrast on the radiograph, I can’t even see the post is in there.”, ,Super Fiber Posts reduce the risk of root fracture, providing uniform flexibility, ease of handling, and dentin-like mechanical elasticity. “Typically, when we cement in a metal post, the cement inherently expands. So, if you have rather thin walls of the canal, you run the risk of fracturing,” explained Dr. Glazer. “The fiber posts, however, are bonded in. These posts are easy to get into narrow canals, and I like that.”, ,
, ,“It’s one of the most radiopaque fiber posts I’ve ever seen.”,– Howard S. Glazer, DDS, FAGD, , , ,The Super Fiber Posts are color coded for the size of the canal. “The system is incredibly easy to use,” said Dr. Glazer. “I love the fact that it’s color coded, and I also think that the packaging is great because the posts come individually packaged, which maintains sterility.”, ,Though recognizing that every practice’s budget is different, Dr. Glazer added that he prefers to pay for better value and a better product. “In my mind, I pay for the Super Fiber Posts because I know I’m getting a better value post,” he shared. “In fact, I don’t think there’s any substantial cost difference between this product and others. It’s very competitive.”, ,iLumi uses its technology in optical glass and fiber optics, collaborates with dentists worldwide, listens to their needs, and focuses on improving and refining dental products. This approach has led them to success, and dentists have been impressed with their products., ,“As dentists, we are usually very visual and tactile,” explained Dr. Glazer. “If you put the product in our hands and we get to use it, we see the value of it. I think it’s a great product and I was glad to get my hands on it.”
