Basic Procedures in Short

Building bridge framework with Dentapreg™ strip always involves several basic procedures repeated in all particular clinical situations:


 

 
1.Measure the length of bridge framework
  2. Remove Dentapreg™ from the blister and cut it with regular scissors
     
 

3. Peel away the waxed paper and transparent foil   4. Pre-form the bridge framework and light cure it
     
 
5. Remove pre-formed strip and apply hybrid/flow composite to prepararations   6. Insert pre-formed strip to bridge framework
     

 

7. Light cure bridge framework   8. Build up the pontic

 

General Remarks for Working with Dentapreg™

  • Dental stone model is a good training tool for trials of Dentapreg™
  • Avoid sharp edges and undercuts on the model
  • Before forming Dentapreg™ strip on a model, always apply separation liquid or wax
  • Always use the widest clinically acceptable Dentapreg™ strip
  • During forming and adaptation of the Dentapreg™ strip advance slowly from one end to the other to allow for a good adaptation of the fibrous reinforcement and small flow of the resin to avoid defects and shape memory effect
  • In order to minimize potential damage to the fibers, it is recommended to use plastic instruments for dental filling composites
  • When preparing the strip (measuring, trimming), keep the strip in its original transparent protection foil to avoid contamination
  • Avoid sharp edges and extremely small interproximal curvatures when forming Dentapreg™ strips to prevent fiber breakage
  • Most commercially available light or dual curing dental adhesives can be used to bond Dentapreg™ strips
  • Adhere according to the acid etching and adhesive  procedures recommended by the manufacturer of the etching agents and adhesive 
  • Polishing or sand blasting of cured Dentapreg™ should be avoided, to enhance patient comfort and maintain good hygienic conditions, a layer of light curing hybrid composite can be applied on the Dentapreg™ surface and polished with standard procedures
