- Carbon fiber is very strong and almost unbreakable
- Its elasticity is similar to dentin, enabling the carbon posts to move and work with the natural dentin
- Carbon posts dissipate the occlusal stress and do not transmit it, as metal posts do
- Consists of strong carbon fiber bundles embedded in a special composite material, which will mix and naturally bind with the dental material used for cementing and core build-up
- Carbon fiber bundles are made of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin with the reinforcing fibers in the form of a braided plait
- The braided plait form of the carbon fiber bundles in a multi-axial arrangement gives the posts superior resistance to bending and torsion forces compared to fibers in a typical single-axial arrangement
- Fiber content is approximately 65%
