cement (Fig. 06) .
10. Coat the post shaft with cement and slowly insert the post

cement has set, make any adjustments needed to the post
head while holding the post with a hemostat

completing the core and fabricating the final restoration
(Fig. 09) .
Cleaning and Sterilization
Drills: Prior to each use, remove debris ultrasonically or by
hand scrubbing with a brush; thoroughly rinse and dry. Place
drills, with a sterilization indicator, into an autoclave bag and
seal. Sterilize in autoclave at 132°C for 12 minutes. Sterilizing
bags should not touch the walls of the autoclave. Once the
sterilization monitor indicates that sterilization was achieved,
place autoclave bag, with the drills inside, in storage until ready
for use. To decontaminate, soak in a 70% isopropyl alcohol
solution for 10 minutes.
Posts: Prior to each use, place posts, with a sterilization indi-
cator, into an autoclave bag and seal. Sterilize in an autoclave
at 130 - 135 degrees C for 12-15 minutes, following standard
procedures.
Universal Hand Driver: Prior to each use, remove debris
ultrasonically or by hand scrubbing with a brush. Sterilize by
autoclave or chemical vapor sterilization.
