ParaPost Taper Lux
®
One-Office-Visit Technique
Intended Use: Fiber posts are intended to be cemented into the
root canal of a tooth to stabilize and support a restoration.
For illustrations see page 55
Federal law (United States) restricts this
device to sale by or on the order of a
healthcare practitioner.
CAUTION!
Failure to properly follow the directions in
this IFU may result in patient injury or com-
promise the integrity of the restoration.
WARNING!
Material is composed of a methacrylate-
based glass fiber reinforced resin. Device
should not be used in patients with known
WARNING! material sensitivity.
Posts are delivered non-sterile and are to be
sterilized prior to use.
Note: Posts are single use devices and should never be salvaged
for re-use. Structural integrity of the post could be compromised
including microscopic damage which could lead to post fracture.

We strongly recommend the use of Hygenic
with this procedure.
1. After endodontic therapy has been completed, prepare the
tooth for restoration as if pulp were intact. The preparation
should include at least 1.5 mm of sound tooth structure all
around the circumference of the preparation, apical to the
core, for desired ferrule effect (Fig. 01).* If that amount of
tooth structure is not available, it should be created by peri-
odontal crown lengthening and/or orthodontic extrusion.*
2. Use a radiograph to determine the appropriate diameter and
depth of the planned post space preparation. Keep in mind
that sufficient root wall thickness must be maintained (1 mm
minimum)* to prevent perforation or weakening of root
walls, and at least 4 - 5 mm of gutta-percha must be left
intact to protect the apical seal.
3. Remove gutta-percha to preplanned depth with a Gates-
Glidden drill, Peeso reamer and/or hot instrument. Radio-
graphic verification is recommended. If the canal has been
obturated with a silver cone, remove it and reseal (obturate)
with Hygenic gutta-percha before preparing the post space.
4. To begin creating the post space, select the ParaPost Taper
Lux Drill diameter which corresponds to the last Gates-
Glidden drill used in Step 3. (See "Approximate Diameter
Comparisons" chart, Fig. A). To help maintain the preplanned
depth of the preparation, ParaPost Taper Lux Drills have been
premarked to identify depths of 7, 9 and 11 mm from the
apical end of the drill.
