The Origin of Splendor® Universal

There are several brands on the market that offer fiberglass posts in a variety of models (parallel, conical, and accessory posts, among others), but they are all first generation, which means they have a single piece. It is frequently a significant challenge for dentists to adapt these posts to different sizes of canals while still preserving tooth structure. They have to keep a variety of post sizes in stock and frequently need to reline the post with composite resin to achieve a better adaptation.
Due to these factors, Angelus created a second-generation post, which consists of two components (a post and a sleeve) that can fit any size of the canal. Splendor® Universal adopts two dental trends: simplification (using a single adjustable post to the canal to create a universal size for narrow, medium, or wide canals) and minimally invasive technique (allowing adjustment of the "post to the root canal and not from the root canal to the post"). These concepts results in the absence or minimal wear of the tooth structure and prevents root weakening. Additionally, it improves the post's adaptation in the cervical region, which typically has a higher amplitude in the root canal and, as a result, more fibers, preventing fractures due to shear forces.
