Reinforcing dental appliances can be a challenge for dental technicians. Metal reinforcements add weight and bulk, are usually un-aesthetic, and their efficacy is doubted by many. “Metal only holds the appliance together when it breaks” is a refrain heard from technicians everywhere. Using modern materials dental technicians can now offer their customers truly reinforced dental appliances.

From the minds that brought you FiBER FORCE®, CST® (Cable Stayed Technology) represents the next major evolution in fiber design and application: an ingeniously simple concept for fabricating an implant supported fiber structure for fixed/hybrid dentures, popularized by solutions like the All-on-4™ implant system.

CST® TEMP uses a simplified CST® technique and is designed specifically to reinforce provisional dentures for 4 to 6 months. CST® TEMP specifically strengthens the most fragile sections of the temporary denture – where the implant abutments are located. CST® fibers have shown to increase both fatigue and strength of denture acrylic.

Fast Splint Matrix® fibers are designed for orthodontic retainers, periodontic and trauma splinting, as well as for implants/space maintainers. Fast Splint Matrix® fibers can be used with traditional manual techniques or with the use of an index (or matrix) to simplify and accelerate the placement of the fibers.

Biolight® DRILL-FREE creates a new concept in post-endodontic crown restorations, using well-established principals from construction engineering. Instead of placing a large, traditional post in the center of the canal, multiple smaller and flexible post strands are spread throughout the canal space. The result is a core that is significantly more resistant to deformation before fracture than a no-post or central post restoration, a post that is ideal for all shapes of canals, and an elimination of all the decision and risks associated with drilling a post space.

While many fiber posts simply mimic the shapes of popular metal posts, Biolight DUAL is designed to fully benefit from fiber technology. The larger coronal tapers dramatically improve adaptation throughout the length of the canal. The overall shape offers a superior adaptation to the canal, minimizes the removal of dentin, and keeps the resin cement layer (the weakest link) to an absolute minimum.

The coronal portion of Biolight ST is parallel, while the apical portion is a taper design. This permits the clinician to choose a larger coronal diameter for increased strength, while the conservative taper portion minimizes the amount of dentin reduction.

Synca Biolight® CORE DC is a dual cure flowable composite material that is indicated for bonding of fiber posts and for core build-up. It is an ideal consistency for ensuring bubble-free cementation of Biolight® DRILL-FREE multi-posts and offers excellent physical properties as a core build-up material.
