Proven products for a high-quality preparation

Midwest® Energo 

Lightweight Handpiece

Streamline your procedures with ergonomic quality. 

  • High durability for a longer lifetime3
  • Reduced head size for improved visibility and access to preparation area4
  • Coolest head in the market for improved patient protection

70% of dentists globally wish for high-quality handpieces that are easy to use.2

Fluoropost® 

Endodontic Fiber Post

Focus on retention with these versatile fiber posts.

  • Choose a glass fiber post that combines the strength and elasticity to keep both catastrophic and restorable fracture rates low6

Placing a post can increase the overall retention of an endodontically treated tooth by as much as 100%.5

Fluorocore® 2+ 

Core Build Up Material

Get strength and convenience in one multi-purpose dental core build  up material and cement.

  • Indicated for both post cementations and core build up
  • Ideal consistency for a stable build-up
  • Cuts like dentin for easy adjustment to the tooth surface

A tooth that has been endodontically treated typically has significant structure loss.7

Prime&Bond active®

Universal Dental Adhesive

True self-cure when used in combination with Self-Cure Activator and Fluorocore® 2+ for core  build-ups or endodontic post cementation.

  • Virtually no post-operative sensitivity

Light intensity at the deepest level of the root canal may be insufficient to induce proper polymerization of the adhesive cement.8
