Zenith Dental introduces Spiraposta revolutionary endodontic post that breaks the mold of traditional posts. It’s made of surgical stainless steel wires twisted around biocompatible natural color polyfiber strands. Its unique design allows the post to self-adapt to the configuration of the prepared tooth canal without the need to reduce additional tooth structure within the canal.  In fact Spirapost utilizes the irregularities of the root canal by integrating the polyfiber strands with the anatomy of the endodontically prepared canal.
 
The revolutionary Spirapost offers great esthetics with natural colored fibers. The flexibility of the twisted wires and strands allow the post to travel down the canal and to conform to its unique curvature.  The strands act as a rebar for the post cement, much like how concrete reinforces steel bars in the foundations of buildings and skyscraper construction. A solid support system is created that accommodates external stresses without the fear of failure.  The Spirapost restoration offers a similar concept of flexibility with the forces of chewing.
 
Once the post cement has been cured, the Spirapost can be easily bent with college pliers to the profile of the tooth in the mouth, so that it becomes vertical with the central axis of the tooth. This distributes stresses evenly. The core material also integrates with the coronal portion of the post unifying the entire restoration.
 
Spirapost is not technique sensitive.  Only one size in two designs (tapered and parallel) is needed due to its adaptability to any endodontically prepared canal. It is also easily removed if retreatment is necessary.
 
Spirapost is available in an intro kit as well as a refill kit.  The Intro kit includes 20 posts (10 of each design), Gates Glidden drills and a Spirapost ruler. A refill kit consists of 10 posts and a Gates Glidden drill. Spirapost is available at the dental supply dealer.
