To clean a lentula, wait until the material is set and it will pull off cleanly. The proper speed is 'faster is better' - most people spin it too slowly. The impression material of a post space will not normally tear. However, some newer more rigid impression materials can. If your canal is very long, don't prepare the post space so long - you don't need excess length for retention of a post.
Thank You for that interesting tip. And 1 question: what is the susceptibility of tearing the intracanal part of impression, for example, if canal is too long (palatal canal in upper molars)?
just ruined 2 impresions for cast posts, i removed the letullo from the canal without spinning it. 2 times i got air bubbles, hope i remember this tip for the next time!
Small question - how do you clean the lentulo? if you have the impression material stuck to it, you can have a problem. I worked as a dental assistant and quickly cleaned it right after the DMD used it. But as a dental student, if I am all alone, what do you recommend? Thanks

This was extremely helpful. Thanks a million
Man, I wish I had you as a professor/mentor in dental school and even now as a dentist :))
You can wipe it of prior to set if you have time or an assistant, but if alone, wait until it sets and the light body material will pull off easily.

Thanx for the video...what is the prefered lentulo round speed you usually apply on your micro motor?
i prefer using any rigid plastic post to support the impression
thanks for this video.p
