Description
Cytec HT Glassfiber
Cytec is designed for more cylindrical roots.
Dentin-like elasticity
High stability
Secure adhesion
Functional post design
Simple root canal revision
HAHNENKRATT GmbH was the first company in Germany to offer a carbon fiber root post in 1995. In 1998, the first root post made of quartz fiber followed. At IDS 2001, we introduced the new Cytec system, which is manufactured with root posts made of HT carbon fiber or HT glass fiber.
As the demand for carbon fiber root posts has decreased considerably in recent years for aesthetic reasons, we no longer offer the Cytec & Contec as carbon fiber posts but only as glass fiber posts. The white, semi-translucent root posts made of HT glass fiber provide the basis for esthetically successful restorations.
Advantages of our HT glass fiber root post systems
The high bending strength of 1,678 MPa (EN ISO 178) for HT glassfiber optimizes the stability of the root construction. HT stands for High Tenacity, for the highest bending strength and fatigue resistance.
Homogeneity of the root construction The fiber composite materials have an elastic behavior that is more similar to that of dentin than that of titanium or zirconium, for example. The root post, composite and residual tooth thus form a more homogeneous unit that supports the stability of the construction.
Functional post The shape of the postconsists of a cylindrical and a conical apical part. In the head area, rounded retentions support bonding with the composite and they also serve as anti-rotation. In the apical region, spiral-shaped grooves provide decompression and retention.
Microretentive surface Exatec, Cytec and Contec differ from other root posts the special mesh structure of the post. This micro-retentive surface supports the adhesive bond between the post and the resin (bonder/composite). The result is a secure adhesion – even without the use of a silane – quite simple and efficient.
