UniCore Post & Drill System
Overall
4.5
Strengths
Completely translucent and tapered. Tied for the best light transmission of the tapered posts and are moderately radiopaque. Drills work very well and the non-cutting tips provide a measure of safety. Most evaluators (67%) thought the drills were a cut above those of other systems. Color-coded posts with painted ends allow easy identification. New #0 posts allow minimal prep conserving radicular dentin. Accessory posts reduce the volume of cement, which may minimize the effect of the C-Factor and at least one study showed that the pushout bond strength of the post was increased when the Accessory posts were used.
Weaknesses
Heads do not offer extra retention for cores. Advantage of diamond section on shank difficult to validate.
BOTTOM LINE
Aseptic packaging, nice color-coding, really good light transmission and best size selection along with unique drills make this system tough to beat.
