1. Prepare the teeth
 2. Make impression of the arch
 3. Isolate stone model
4. Measure the length of the Dentapreg™ PFU 5. Insert the strip to required position
 6. Light cure Dentapreg™ PFU
7. Apply flow composite
 8. Insert cured Dentapreg™ PFU to flow composite
 9. Light cure the flow composite
10. Prepare the bridge usual way
 11. Clean the abutment teeth
 12. Clean the surface of the bridge
13. Apply etching gel
14. Apply adhesive cement
15. Minimally invasive bridge reinforced with Dentapreg™ PFU

Broken denture
1. Fractured denture 2. Stick together the broken parts of denture 3. Prepare the gypsum pad
4. Grind the edges of both parts of denture 5. Cut the canal(s) 6.Measure the required length of Dentapreg™ PFU or UFM
7. Place a layer of denture base resin to the canal(s) 8. Cut and place the Dentapreg™ PFU or UFM 9. Light cure Dentapreg™ PFU or UFM
10. Cover the cured strips with denture base resin 11. Polymerize the repaired denture and then polish it
 12. Repaired denture

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
