Flexural Strength
Universidad Tecnológica de Mexico. Mexico city, Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine, Fort Lauderdale, FL, private practice: Mexico City.
X-RO Fibers utilize a proprietary coupling agent that increases the bond between the fiber and the epoxy matrix. Together they improve Flexural Strength by at least 200MPa over previous generations of RTD posts. The values given here are from the respective manufacturers.
Radiopacity of the X-RO is ~50% greater than previous generations of RTD Posts, to reach 340% of Aluminum equivalent (ISO Standard #4049). The radiopacity of the post itself varies from 476% (MacroLock size 1) to 573% (Macro-Lock size 4).

Patented ILLUSION technology Color-coding for easy identificationbefore or after placement; Posts match the drills.
With patented ILLUSION technology, intrinsic color-coding disappears when seated, re-appears on demand, if removal ever becomes necessary.

• Atraumatically removable in minutes.
Private Practice. Former Assistante of Toulouse University, France.
• Translucency provides esthetics and expedites the dual-cure cementation procedure.
“I have used RTD fiber posts regularly for more than 10 years and I have had the opportunity to observe the constant improvement with each generation of fiber post. The replacement of the carbon fibers with quartz fibers has dramatically improved the bio mechanical properties, with a modulus of elasticity closer to the dentin, the adhesion with all of the bonding systems as well as the optical properties of the post, to optimize the aesthetics of the final restoration.”
• Corrosion-free and biocompatible. X-RO has passed cytotoxicity, and also intradermal reactivity, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity and hypersensitivity, in order to ensure complete biocompatibility and safety.
