Product Features

Consultants found that iLumi Fiber Optic Dental Posts and drills were accurately matched, resulting in very good adaptation of the post to the tooth. Drills are marked with color to match the removable rubber stoppers on the posts, ensuring easy visual identification. Blister packs keep the posts organized, and they are easy to open during the procedure. The frosted white color of the posts offer an esthetic solution for restoring teeth, and the material provides excellent light transmission during curing of the resin cement. Posts are readily apparent on radiographs.
