SWEDENT Dentine Ti Retention Pins 0.60mm Kit

SWEDENT Dentine Ti Retention Pins (0.60mm) are specialized dental pins used in restorative dentistry to provide additional retention and support for restorations, such as crowns or fillings, especially when significant tooth structure has been lost due to decay or trauma. These pins are specifically designed for placement in the dentine (the tissue beneath the enamel) of the tooth, providing a stable foundation for dental restorations.

Key Features:

1. Material:
   • Titanium (Ti): The pins are made of high-quality titanium, which is known for its strength, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion. Titanium is ideal for dental use as it is non-reactive with the surrounding tissues and helps minimize the risk of adverse reactions or allergies.
2. Size:
   • Diameter: The pin has a diameter of 0.60mm, which is a standard size for providing adequate retention while minimizing damage to the tooth structure.
   • The size ensures that the pin can be placed securely within the dentine without requiring excessive drilling or weakening of the tooth.
3. Design:
   • These pins are often threaded, allowing them to anchor firmly within the dentine, ensuring strong retention of the restoration.
   • The pin design ensures that the restorative material (such as composite resin or amalgam) adheres to the tooth effectively, adding mechanical strength to the overall restoration.
4. Purpose:
   • Retention: Dentine Ti retention pins are primarily used to provide retention for large restorations, especially in teeth where there is minimal remaining natural tooth structure.
   • Reinforcement: After a root canal treatment or when large amounts of tooth structure have been removed, these pins help reinforce the tooth and provide a stable foundation for a crown or other restoration.
5. Application:
   • Dentine Ti retention pins are placed into the dentine layer after the tooth is prepared. The process usually involves drilling a small hole into the dentine, inserting the pin, and then restoring the cavity with composite or other restorative materials. The pin does not extend into the pulp chamber, which minimizes the risk of infection or damage to the tooth’s nerve.
6. Advantages:
   • Durability: Titanium’s strength and resistance to wear and corrosion ensure long-lasting results.
   • Minimal Tooth Structure Loss: The 0.60mm pin size allows for effective reinforcement while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
   • Biocompatibility: Titanium is a biocompatible material, which means it integrates well with the tooth and surrounding tissues, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.

Considerations:

• Placement Precision: Proper placement of the pin is critical, as improper positioning can weaken the tooth further or interfere with the final restoration.
• Not Suitable for All Teeth: In some cases, when there is significant tooth damage or structural loss, additional measures like posts or cores may be necessary to ensure adequate support.

Overall, Dentine Ti Retention Pins (0.60mm) offer a reliable and effective solution for enhancing the retention and strength of dental restorations, especially in cases of weakened teeth.
