Properties: - Its mechanical properties closely mimic natural dentin in hardness and elasticity, ensuring optimal adaptation to the tooth structure. - When used with suitable luting and core build-up materials (e.g. OliZircore NANO), it forms a monoblock-like restoration that enhances durability, resistance to failure, and long-term tooth preservation. - OliPost Light exhibits an axial elastic modulus of 49 GPa (dentin ≈ 20 GPa) and a shear strength of 64 MPa. - Its modulus is significantly lower than metal posts, supporting more favorable stress distribution within the root. - Elastic modulus 30°: > 15 GPa. - Tensile strength: > 1500 MPa. - Flexural strength: > 1600 MPa. - Elastic modulus comparison: OliPost Light (15 GPa) vs. dentin (12–18 GPa). Benefits: - Dentin-like mechanical properties for optimal stress distribution. - Conical shape ensures proper force transmission and root protection. - Longitudinal fibers provide stability under chewing forces. - Full translucency for reliable cement polymerization. - Pre-silanized surface enhances bonding with composite materials. - X-ray visible for easy post-placement verification.
