This innovative solution offers versatile applications, from crown reinforcement to incisal edge reconstruction, reducing the risk of fractures in high-failure scenarios and thus enhances your patient satisfaction.

CROWNS AND VENEERS: PREPARE TO REPAIR WITH DENTAPREG

Tooth restoration involving metal and porcelain runs a high risk of fracturing and can be the source of a lot of inconvenience. Using high performance fiber-reinforced composite material, Dentapreg ® strips drastically reduce the risk of tooth fracture by actually mimicking natural tooth design, with long-term reliability delivered in a minimally invasive manner. We’ve studied the biomechanics behind fractures and harnessed our product to specifically minimize and prevent high stress concentration in risk areas. Dentapreg® Veil is a special stretchable glass fiber reinforcement which spreads stress across a larger area, significantly reducing stress concentration in the tooth. A highly aesthetic solution to an all too familiar problem, Dentapreg Veil is designed to adapt perfectly to any shape of crown, and to keep on working for you.

REINFORCED CROWN

Rather than preparing a tooth for a crown or fully extracting it, Dentapreg® can help to save a tooth quickly, without having to resort to complex techniques, materials or instruments. Dentapreg® Veil has the unique property of being able to mimic a tooth’s dentino-enamel junction when placed in a restoration. This means greatly increased durability for composite restoration work. These ultra-thin, highly adaptable strips are made for minimally invasive dentistry – and for very noticeable clinical success stories.

REINFORCED VENEER

Dentapreg® Veil’s smart flexibility means that it’s suitable for a variety of different applications in restorative dentistry, including the reinforcement of composite veneers. When in place, the Veil strip’s ultra-thin design has the advantage of not requiring a thick layer of veneering composite and it is compatible with all light-curing and flowable composite materials. Impressive aesthetics, a simple and fast application procedure, and resilient, highly durable results – that’s what Dentapreg®’s approach to restoration is all about.

General Dentapreg FAQ

What does Dentapreg® look like?

The strips and pins consist of specially surface treated glass fibers impregnated with high viscosity light-curable resin matrix. The fibers are in the form or unidirectionally oriented bundle or braided multidirectionally oriented flat tape. The dimensions vary depending on the indication range of a specific product. The strip is slightly sticky and can easily be formed and adapted into the desired position. The strip is placed under the non-transparent foil in protective films and sealed in a blister with aluminium foil.

Why is Dentapreg® strip 6 cm long?

Over the years, we have followed the recommendations from our customers and set a standard length of the pre-impregnated strips to 6 cm. This length is optimal for the needs of most applications and for minimizing the waste.

What needs to be taken care of when handling Dentapreg® products?

During manipulation, it is recommended to use powder-free latex or vinyl protective gloves and to use non-contact technique. Do not touch the unprotected strip with bare hands. Avoid using direct and intense light in the working area as this could lead to the loss of application properties. Do not use the product if it becomes contaminated or otherwise damaged while being placed.

How to cut Dentapreg® strip or pin to the desired length?

The strip can be cut using regular scissors. However, it is recommended to use clinical scissors. To avoid contamination, cut the strip when it is still placed in the protective films.

What instruments can be used when forming and adapting Dentapreg® strips and pins?

The strip can be formed and adapted in the desired position using standard instruments, such as tweezer, spatula, condenser and other composite filling instruments. Using of instruments with sharp edges should be avoided as they can damage the reinforcing fibers.

Is it necessary to treat the surface of Dentapreg® products before use?

There is no need for additional treatment of the strips or pins. The fibers are already impregnated by dental resin matrix to enssure strong and reliable adhesion.

Which adhesive system can be used in combination with Dentapreg®?

For optimal bonding, it is recommended to use a standard two-step etch-and-rinse protocol. Self-etching single step adhesive protocol is less desired and should be used in the case of short-term applications only.

Must the entire surface of the strips or pins be covered with a covering composite layer?

Strips and pins must be covered with a composite along the entire length. This is necessary in order to avoid irritation of soft oral tissues by exposed fibers and to protect the integrity of the framework structure. In the case of splinting, if there are no points of contact, build them from condensable resin composite.

What are the storage conditions before opening the blister?

Dentapreg® products should be stored at temperatures between 4 and 25 ºC (39 to 77 ºF) in an intact blister away from direct light sources. Do not expose to temperatures higher than 25 ºC (77 ºF) for extended periods of time. Do not use after the expiry date stated on the packaging.

How long after opening the blister can Dentapreg® strips be used?

After opening the blister, unused parts of the pliable strip in the protective films can be stored in the light protection box included in the packaging. In this packaging, store the product in a refrigerator at temperatures between 4 and 10 ºC, and use it within four weeks. If no contamination occurs, Dentapreg® pins can be stored without any restrictions in the original packaging for the entire shelf life.

What kind of curing light can be used to cure Dentapreg®?

The type of curing light will not affect the properties of the final application, but affects the time necessary to cure the strip. Keep in mind that a successful application of splints, retainers or frameworks requires curing the strip along its entire length and hence multiple light exposure steps progressing from one side of the application to the other are required. When using standard LED curing light with power of around 700 mW/cm2, the curing step for one tooth is 40 s. When using a high-power curing light, the light-exposure time can be adjusted accordingly.

Are there any contraindications and safety precautions to keep in mind during application of Dentapreg®?

In very rare cases, the use of Dentapreg® medical devices may be associated with an allergic reaction. The use is contraindicated in patients with known over-sensitivity to any of the components contained (especially methacrylate monomers and polymers). During application, avoid contact with eyes, skin and soft tissues and ingestion. In the case of a contact of an uncured strip with soft tissues, gently wipe the affected area with a cotton swab or gauze, and rinse with water.

Are there any special precautions to keep in mind after the application of Dentapreg®?

Inform the patient of the necessity of following hygiene principles to preserve esthetics and reduce the risk of caries. Also, instruct the patient to see the dentist without delay in the event of functional failure.

How to remove Dentapreg® application in case of need?

The removal procedure is related to the specific type of application. The procedure of splint removal after it served its desired purpose has three steps. First, remove the covering layer of the composite by using a bur or using a polishing wheel to heat up the surface of the composite. The heated composite becomes soft and can be removed with a scaler. Next, remove the strip from the surface of the teeth. The easiest way is to use a scaler or orthodontic pliers and pull it from the interproximal spaces. Finally, clean and polish the teeth. The procedure of bridge removal has four steps. This includes cutting the retentions using a diamond bur, removing the pontic, removing the rest of the composite from the abutment teeth and finally, cleaning and polishing the abutment teeth.
