Splinting ribbon and accessories
InFibra
HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENE FIBERS
Excellent long-term solution, reliable, fast and cheap metal-free dentistry
Ribbons made of high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, long, continuous, white with excellent mechanical properties that make them are perfect to fit the ideal for both dentist and dental technician. Easy to handle and flexible, they adapt perfectly to tooth surfaces. Thanks to the “no shape memory” the tapes are perfect to fit the interproximal spaces.
Can be used with fluid resinous composites and dentinal adhesives. Compatible with acrylic resins.
Available in different heights. Thickness: about 0.03 mm.
The particular intertwining of the fibers allows a clean cut and makes an effective reinforcement to prevent the propagation of micro-cracks of the resin composites and/or acrylic resins.
The weaving of the ribbon allows a perfect integration between the coating materials, resulting practically invisible when coated with composite and acrylic resin.

ACCESSORIES
AD+ : the adhesive system
Ad+ Mono is the ultimate dentine adhesive: one-component, photopolymerable. Exceptional micromechanical retention thanks to the patented PMGDM monomer which creates a hybrid layer with the collagen of the dentinal tubules.
Ad activator is the right complement to make Ad + Mono also Dual
(Dosage: 2 drops of adhesive and 1 drop of activator).
