Two groups of products are being manufactured by «IKADENT»:
«IKADENT» root posts, used in endodontics as a reinforcement element
for restoration of partially damaged tooth crown with filling materials.
«IKADENT» anchor posts, used for orthopedic restoration of fully
or partially damaged tooth crown. Depending on post model the method
allows either use of metal-ceramic crowns and amalgams, or immediate
building of composite crown in clinical environment bypassing the laboratory
stage.
«IKADENT» posts are being manufactured of special titanium alloy imported
from USA and complying to ASTM Grade 5 and DIN 3.7165 standards. The
alloy causes no rejection. It is completely stainless unlike widespread
Al-Cu or steel alloys (even gold-coated) and provides high durability.
Furthermore unlike carbon-fiber posts titanium anchor posts ensure sufficient
retention and strength when using in large-volume restorations.
Compared with other products «IKADENT» posts offer a set of advantages:
 Shape
of the root part. «IKADENT» posts decrease the stress put
on the tooth root by optimally combining a cylindrical and a conical
part. This
prevents the root from splitting or perforation during inserting and
further use. It is generally known, that the highest stress is put on
the root when placing the so called "active" posts (which provide retention
by having thread on their surface and are screwed into the root). «IKADENT»
posts provide retention by special jags. This ensures proper post locking
but makes restoration less traumatic.
 Shape of the anchor head. Wide range of different shapes for the
anchor head of the «IKADENT» posts allow the dentist to easily choose
the suitable model for any clinical case and any restoration material.
«IKADENT» product range was been improving for many years. It comes as
the result of close collaboration with professional dentists, their opinions
and recommendations play the key role.
At present time «IKADENT» company produces a wide range of root and anchor
posts counting over 20 different models.
