Fairfax Dental Stabilok Pins Stainless Steel - Green - Medium 0.76mm Stabilok Dentine Pins are an effective and economical way to provide extra mechanical retention for restorations in both anterior and posterior teeth. Once in place in the tooth, they can be reduced in length and / or bent into the desired position. A major advantage of Stabilok Dentine Pins is that the pin is securely held in a contra-angle shank until it is ready to automatically shear off in the tooth at the correct depth. Stabilok pins can be disinfected before use by placing them in a cold sterilization solution for 10 minutes and then rinsing them with sterile water before use.

FAQ

What is it?

Some dentists use devices called "pins or posts" to anchor very large fillings placed in your teeth. The pin or pins are countersunk with a handpiece (dental drill) half way into your tooth outside its nerve chamber (canal) after all decay has been removed.

What is it used for?

A dental post is used in dental restoration to sufficiently build-up tooth structure for future restoration with a crown when there is not enough tooth structure to properly retain the crown, due to loss of tooth structure to either decay or fracture.
