• Very esthetic and blends well with tooth-colored core materials.
• The drills are accurate in diameter to their corresponding posts.
• Trim the post after cementation and core build-up during tooth preparation.
• I would like to have more sizes available to match a larger variety of teeth.
• The drills dull quickly.

D.T. Light-Post Illusion X-RO posts are fabricated from unidirectional, pretensed fibers in a resin matrix. These posts have flexural strengths exceeding that of metal posts but their modulus of elasticity is very close to that of dentin. The low modulus distributes stresses along the post instead of concentrating the stresses in the remaining root structure as seen with metal posts. D.T. Light-Post Illusion X-RO posts are color coded for easy size identification, but the color disappears when the post is placed in the canal. The color will reappear when the post is sprayed with cold water to aid in post removal, if endodontic re-treatment becomes necessary. The posts are double tapered - they are parallel in the coronal section and have two separate tapers in the apical section. The posts are translucent to transmit light, allowing cementation with light- or dual-cured adhesives and cements. The posts are supplied in four diameters with corresponding reamers. This product received a 98% clinical rating.
