Top 10 Post Drills & Reamers in Dentistry
1. ParaPost® Fiber Lux™ Translucent Fiber Posts System – Coltene
ParaPost® Fiber Lux™ is an alternative to metal posts when metal-free restorations are desired. These fiber posts are made of translucent fiber resin material that reflects the natural hues of the tooth and eliminates shadows through composite restorations at the gingival/crown interface.
- Parallel design for universal post applications
- Provides greatest surface areas for post cementation
- Rounded, undercut head design for optimal core retention

2. RelyX™ Fiber Post Refill – 3M
RelyX™ Fiber Posts are translucent, glass fiber reinforced composite posts. In cases of insufficient residual tooth structure these posts are needed to support and secure the coronal restoration.
- Elasticity of RelyX Fiber Post is similar to human dentin for a lower risk of root fracture due to the wedge effect
- Unique resin composition and equally dispersed parallel fibers lead to superior mechanical strength
- Microporous surface allows for additional bond strength through microretentive effects
- Excellent light translucency for efficient light cure deep into the root canal
- Improved radiopacity is among the highest of available glass fiber posts
- RelyX™ Unicem system makes cementing a post fast, easy and reliable
3. ParaPost® Taper Lux™ Translucent Esthetic Post System – Coltene
ParaPost® Taper Lux™ is an esthetic post system made of translucent fiber resin material that reflects the natural hues of the tooth and eliminates shadows through composite restorations at the gingival/crown interface.
- Alternative to metal posts when metal-free restorations are desired
- Tapered post design for narrow canals
- Rounded, undercut head design for optimal core retention
- Three head design for easy post length adjustment
4. ParaPost® Fiber White Esthetic Posts System Refills – Coltene
ParaPost Fiber White Esthetic Post System is an alternative to metal posts for esthetic, metal-free restoration.
- Metal-free esthetics
- Unidirectional glass fiber/resin formulation
- Anti-rotational head
- Passive parallel design
5. Fibrekor™ Post Refill – Pentron
Fabricated from longitudinal glass fibers encompassed in a strong composite resin matrix, the Fibrekor Post allows an integrated bond between tooth structure, bonding agent, resin cement and composite core material.
- Unique design allowing excellent adherence of resin cement
- Excellent esthetics and light transmission due to the fiber content
- An intimate bond to tooth via resin cements due to the resinous surface of the post
- Easy shaping and cutting to size for any canal
- Reinforcing flexural and retentive properties and a nonwedging design
- Excellent retention of the core and restoration
- Easy retrieval, if necessary, using conventional burs and drill bits
6. Rebilda Post Refills – Voco
Rebilda Post is a fiber reinforced composite endodontic post for buildup, support and anchoring of coronal restorations. Indications typically include diagnosis where there is insufficient tooth substance.
- Highly translucent for excellent esthetics
- Highly radiopaque similar to metal posts
- High retention
- Dentin-like elasticity for gentle root treatment
- Red color-coded drill fits size 1.0 mm posts
- Green color-coded drill fits size 1.2 mm posts
