DMG Luxapost

Features 

• Only one drill per size (no pre-shaping drill necessary)
• User-friendly, color-coded system
• Retention grooves improve mechanical retention
• Transparent for highly esthetic results
• High flexural strength: Good stability
• Post taper conforms easily to the post preparation

Description 

High in flexural strength, these posts are also designed with a tapered form to closely mimic the natural tooth structure.  As a result, fracture risk is minimized. Additionally, LuxaPost is pre-silanized and radiopaque

Fibreglass-reinforced , conical composite post, x-ray opaque and pre salinized.

INDICATIONS:

• Following endodontic treatment in order to establish reliable retention of the core build up where insufficient coronal tooth structure exists. 
• Only for use with dual or self curing luting cements.

Key Specifications 

COMPOSITION:

Glass fibers in a Bis-GMA based resin matrix (LuxaPost). Rustproof, hardening steel (LuxaPost drill)

Ultrasonic disinfection

The use of ultrasound reduces the disinfection time to 15 minutes. The LuxaPost drill bits must not come into contact with hard objects during this process. Cleaning in a thermal disinfector is not possible.

Checking/secondary cleaning

After disinfection, check LuxaPost drills for contamination. If necessary, carry out secondary cleaning using an ultrasonic cleaner. If necessary, carry out secondary cleaning manually using a soft brush

Check the functionality. LuxaPost drills that have oxidized, become blunt or exhibit irregular running must be separated and no longer used.

Sterilization

Autoclave (if possible use pre and post-vacuum types) at 121 °C or 134 °C. Avoid sterilization temperatures above180 °C. Exceeding this can lead to the drill losing hardness.
