EverStick PERIO - Fibre Reinforcement for Periodontal Splinting

everStick PERIO: 1 x 8cm

everStick® PERIO from GC is the aesthetic solution for periodontally compromised patients providing fibre reinforcement for periodontal splinting.

Periodontal splinting with everStick PERIO can be successfully used as part of a periodontal treatment. It has been shown that teeth with healthy, but severely reduced periodontium can be maintained with the aid of a splint.

With everStick PERIO, you can choose between a rigid or a more flexible splint to adapt to the clinical situation. If the splint is bonded interdentally, you will get a more rigid splint, for instance indicated in case of a fractured root. Another advantage is that the splint can be easily remodeled if needed.

Why does everStick PERIO guarantee your patient the ideal splint?

Unique product characteristics together with extensive research background and long clinical experience make everStickPERIO an unparalled splinting solution in terms of strength and reliability. everStick fibres have a flexural strength as high as that of cast chromic cobalt metal, but their elastic modulus is very close to that of dentin. This elasticity may be beneficial to the surrounding periodontal tissue because the loads are spread more naturally than in a totally rigid construction such as a metal contention.

everStick® for daily dentistry

everStick glass fibre reinforcements have been developed to provide solutions for modern, patient-friendly dentistry. everStick fibre reinforcements are made of silanated glass fibres in thermoplastic polymer and light curing resin matrix.

everStick products address the advantages of minimally invasive dentistry where the patient's own healthy tooth tissue is saved for as long as clinically possible.

This also means that other treatment options remain available should the patient ever need them in the future.

IPN - The heart of everStick® fibres

Proper bonding between the fibres and composite is the key factor for a successful treatment. Only everStick products have a unique, patented interpenetrating polymer network structure (IPN). Clinically this leads to superior bonding enabling reliable surface retained applications and perfect
handling properties.

The significance of the IPN structure is that surfaces can be reactivated even after the final polymerisation. Reactivation is crucial for superior bonding when

• Laboratory-manufactured restorations are cemented to teeth.
• Fibre reinforced composite (FRC) devices are remodelled or repaired.

The IPN structure makes the everStick products fundamentally different from any other fibre or composite materials available.
