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 periodontal 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.
Radiographic verification is recommended. If the canal
has been obturated with a silver cone, remove it and
reseal with Hygenic gutta percha before preparing the
post space.

4. To begin paralleling the post space, select the ParaPost
Drill diameter which corresponds to the last Gates-
Glidden drill used in Step 3 (Fig. 01). (See "Approximate
Diameter Comparisons" chart, Fig. A). To help maintain
the preplanned depth of the preparation, ParaPost Drills
have been pre-marked to identify depths of 7, 9 and 11
mm from the apical end of the drill.
ParaPost Drills can be used either manually with the
Universal Hand Driver or with a slow-speed contra-angle.
When a contra-angle is used, the drill must be kept in
continuous clockwise rotation until it has been completely
removed from the tooth. This will minimize the risk of the
drill seizing in the post space. Remove all weakened or
unsupported tooth structure. Remove any tooth debris
from canal by irrigating post space with water spray.
5. Sequentially step up to the next larger ParaPost Drill until
the preplanned diameter and depth are achieved
(Fig. 02).
6. Use a cylindrical diamond or carbide bur to prepare an
anti-rotational box (Fig. 03).
7. Select the ParaPost Fiber Lux Post that corresponds to
the last drill used to prepare the post space. Remove
colored band from post head. Insert post into post space
(Fig 04). Check carefully for occlusal clearance. Remove
post; shorten as necessary from either the apical or
occlusal end (as clinical judgement dictates) with a
Carborundum separating disk (Fig. 05). Wear safety
