Trans-Illuminating Post Technology
A user friendly, single office visit solution
for restoring compromised thin-walled roots
with strong adhesive materials
All too often, fragile, thin-walled teeth present major restorative
problems: cast posts or extractions were often the only alternative.
But today, there is a user friendly, single office visit solution
to this problem.
The clear light transmitting posts polymerize light-cured composites
within the entire root canal. After curing, the LUMINEX post is
removed, leaving a ready canal for a corresponding Classic Post.
- Reinforced Root Strength:
Light-cured composites internally reinforce the root structure
providing maximum sheer load support and retention.
- Improved Control:
Light-curing composites are easy to control, more adaptive,
and safer than auto-cured composites that may prematurely harden.
- Centered Canal Position:
The Luminex post technique centers the canal and forms a selected
sized, full length parallel sided canal for corresponding Dentatus
Classic metal posts.
- Superior Aesthetics:
The light-cured composite inside the canal masks metal posts
with a reflective tooth colored foundation for modern restorations.
- Technique Versatility
Luminex smooth and grooved posts may be also used as an impression
and castable post pattern in the direct and indirect fabrication
of posts.
- Superior Delivery System
Selection of Luminex and metal posts in all sizes along with
corresponding reamers and components are packaged in the refillable,
easy to use dispenser,

Problem
|
|
|
|
The large defect at coronal root end of the maxillary left
central incisor is caused by carious extension into a previously
traumatized, immature incisor.
|
Solution
|
|
|
|
Light is transmitted into the root canal using light-transmitting
plastic post to polymerize the intracanal composite resin.
|
|
|
A matching post canal is created in conjunction with composite
resin reinforcement of the defective root.

A prefabricated matching grooved metal post is cemented into
the reconstituted post canal.
