FILAY DENT - FILPOST REFILL PACK

Step 1

Latch the correct sized drill head (for your chosen size of FILPIN) onto a slow-spreed handpiece and make a pilot hole up to the drill's self-limiting depth of 2mm. Repeat as necessary. NB: Ensure the pilot hole is drilled at a speed of 1500rpm or less.

Step 2

Latch a FILPIN onto the handpiece and insert into the hole - hardly any pressure is needed to encourage the pin to insert. Once the correct depth of 2mm is reached, FILPIN will self-shear at exactly the right point. Repeat as necessary. NB: ENsure the pin is inserted at a speed of 1000rpm or less.

Step 3

If required, bend the protruding pin/s to suit the restoration. Final build up of the restoration can now take place.

Step 4

The final restoration.

Indications

• To enhance the retention of all types of restorations to dentin. Compared to using resin bonded amalgam only, FILPIN can increase the retention of restorations to dentin by around 3 to 5 times. (Lo. C.S. et al., J Dent Res '94; 73:387)
• To stabilise by cross-pinning MOD cavities.
• To prevent rotation of restorations when a single post is used.

Features

• 99.8% pure titanium-biocompatible, will not corrode, compatible with all dental materials.
• Easy to customise to suit canal-without risk of fracture, enables two or more posts to be easily inserted into converging canals.
• NO drilling required-avoids the risk of perforation and saves time as no need for drilling.
• Anatomical shape-minimises dentine removal during placement, preserves tooth structure, avoids weakening the tooth.
• Anti-rotation vents-along entire length, relieves hydrostatic pressure during placement.
• Micro-roughened surface-for added post retention.
• Unique passive interlock-for strong retention, created by retention grooves along the post and retention grooves formed within the canal surface by the FILPOST Universal Groover.
