40 I I industry news _ VOCO _TheDentalAdvisorhasawardedVOCO’sRebilda Post System, the complete endodontic post build-up set, five out of five possible points. American dentists tested the system in over 200 applications and were impressed by both the range and simple handling of its components. Forty-six per cent of the dentists who participated in this evaluation rated the Rebilda Post System better than the endodontic product theynormallyusedandstatedthattheywouldliketo keep working with the system in the future. _Dentine-like properties With Rebilda Post, the glass-fibre reinforced, compositeendodonticpost,VOCOpresentedanideal additiontoRebildaDC,thedual-curingcorebuild-up andlutingmaterial.RebildaPostallowsforadurable and aesthetic, high-quality, metal-free restoration. Its dentine-like elasticity provides an even distribu- tion of arising forces—in contrast with metal or ceramic posts—and it thus minimises the risk of root fractures. The high transverse strength therefore leads to excellent resistance to fatigue and fracture of the post and thus to a longer-lasting restoration. The cylindrical-conical geometry corresponds to the anatomicalprogressionoftheroot,whichfacilitates a preparation that is gentle to the tooth substance. Furthermore, the translucency has been perfectly adapted to the dentine. Rebilda Post combines out- standing optical properties with excellent radio- pacity, high bio-compatibility and easy removal. _The system concept Rebilda Post is a component of a complete, coor- dinated post build-up system (Rebilda DC, Futura- bond DC, Ceramic Bond and accessories). As with Rebilda DC—the proven core build-up material—the new endodontic post consists of a dimethacrylate matrixtoallowforareliablebondunderthebuild-up of a stable mono-block. With Futurabond DC, a se- cure bond to the dentine is also achieved in a simple, time-saving application. The post-endodontic work is simplified with new endo-brushes (VOCO Endo Tim) and endo-tips. This innovative endodontic post build-up set in- creases clinical safety, as all of the components are coordinated and at hand when endodontic treat- mentusingpostsisrequired.RebildaPostisavailable in three sizes (1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm) with the cor- respondingdrillsinbothanendodonticintroduction set and a complete system that is designed for 15 post-endodontic treatments._ Fig. 1_Metal post: root fracture.
