RelyX Fiber Post

3M ESPE introduces RelyX Fiber Post now available in the new, smallest post size “0”, with a coronal diameter of 1.1 mm to complement sizes of 1.9mm, 1.6mm, and 1.3mm diameter. Due to their high translucency and appearance similar to that of tooth structure, RelyX Fiber Posts are not visible through the restoration—unlike the dark shadow often caused by metal posts—and support a natural light reflection.

Since the modulus of elasticity is in the same range as that of dentin, forces are distributed evenly within the tooth and thus, the “wedge effect” characteristic of metal posts is avoided. The tapered shape of RelyX Fiber Post further helps to conserve valuable root canal dentin.
