2mm: Suitable for periodontal splints, bridges, orthodontic retainers, composite restorations, trauma stabilisation.
Ribbond-THM (Thinner Higher Modulus) is an ultra-thin, ultra-strong bondable reinforcement ribbon that prevents fracture failures in dental composites and acrylics.
Ribbond’s strength and fracture toughness are unsurpassed by other fibre reinforcements thanks to a unique combination of ultra-high strength fibres, enhanced bondability and patented cross-link lock-stitch leno weave.
The key to Ribbond’s success (and what distinguishes Ribbond from the other fiber reinforcements) is its patented leno weave.
Designed with a lock-stitch feature that effectively transfers forces throughout the weave without stress transfer back into the resin, Ribbond’s weave also provides excellent manageability characteristics.
Having virtually no memory, Ribbond adapts to the contours of the teeth and dental arch.
Bicompatibility: Unlike fiberglass, if at anytime the Ribbond is cut into with a rotary instrument, the resultant particles and exposed fibers will not be a biocompatibility risk to the patient.
Ribbond is translucent, practically colorless and disappears within the composite or acrylic without show-through.
Not only does Ribbond offer excellent esthetics, its translucency also allows the use of light cured composites.
Starter Kit includes: Three 2mm x 22cm long pieces of Ribbond; 1 x Special Ribbond scissors; Instructions; Dead soft tinfoil for measuring
