Dentatus Classic Surtex posts gold plated – Extra Long 14.2 mm, Ø 1.50 mm (#4) – 15 pcs
Dentatus Classic Surtex® posts are prefabricated root canal posts, a global standard since 1932, for retaining core materials in endodontically treated teeth. They are cemented passively, temporarily or permanently, in the canal prepared with the corresponding Dentatus reamers.
- Anatomical shape: about 2/3 cylindrical and 1/3 conical, for maximum retention and minimum fracture risk.
- Texturised Surtex® surface: up to 200% more mechanical retention than non-treated posts according to Dentatus (Nergiz et al., J Prosthet Dent 1997) and less light reflection.
- Square cross-cut head for core material adaptation; threads for secure retention with all cements.
- 6 diameters (Ø 1.05–1.80 mm) and 5 lengths (7.8–17 mm), sizes #1–6 matching the reamers.
- Manufactured and 100% quality-controlled in Sweden; single-use posts.
Procedure: prepare the canal with the reamer of the same number (Standard Classic RUA/RUB or Helix Classic), check the fit without rotating, cement while gently rotating clockwise with the Dentatus key; once the cement has set, the head can be widened with the NLK cross key for extra retention.
This item (RST-EL4): refill of 15 Classic Surtex gold plated posts – length: extra long, 14.2 mm; diameter 1.50 mm (size #4). Gold-plated posts (brass coated with a thin layer of gold) suit most retentive purposes where an economical alternative is required (e.g. temporary crowns). Handle with care so as not to damage the coating and discard damaged posts.

Frequently asked questions
Which reamer goes with a Surtex post?
The reamer whose number (number of grooves on the shank) matches the post: Standard Classic RUA (28 mm) / RUB (33 mm) #1–6, or Helix Classic RSA/RSB/RSC.
How is a Classic Surtex post cemented?
With temporary or permanent cement applied to the threaded part and the canal opening; insert the post with a Dentatus key, gently rotating clockwise until resistance is felt. Once set, the head can be widened with the cross key (except stainless steel).
Which material: titanium, stainless steel or gold plated?
According to Dentatus: pure titanium for most retentive purposes; stainless steel where extra-high shear strength is required (contains nickel); gold plated as an economical alternative, e.g. for temporary crowns.
