RTD’s QUARTZ SPLINT PROPRIETARY QUARTZ REINFORCEMENT FIBERS
Quartz Splint is pre-wetted with light-cured methacrylic resin at the factory so that it chemically bonds to most composites and acrylics.
Why use Quartz Splint?
- Pre-wetting at the factory saves time, materials, promotes consistency, prevents errors and voids
- The high-performance Quartz fibres provide high strength and increases the strength of the composite or acrylic
- “Near-Zero” memory in Rope and Woven stays where it is put, allows easier manipulation, placement
- Cannot corrode like metal wires and mesh, for long life-span, no “show-through”
- Low Elastic Modulus, like composite & acrylic, to prevent de-lamination, micro-leakage
- Available with and without L/C resins, for a complete system with synergistic properties
- Two year shelf-life allows inventory with peace of mind
Quartz Splint is RTD’s range of 4 reinforcement fibres, with overlapping indications, according to preference and specific clinical demands. Quartz Splint is made from a different quartz fibre than our popular posts, and is pre-wetted with light-cured methacrylic resin at the factory so that it chemically bonds to most composites and acrylics. Pre-impregnation reduces the possibility of voids or bubbles, and provides ease of use and consistent results: no guesswork/fewer steps! Independent studies confirm Flexural and Shear Bond Strength superior to glass and polyethylene fiber products, and it does not “wick”.
- The Quartz Splint Family has a myriad of every day uses in the dental practice or dental laboratory:
- Splinting mobile teeth, from trauma or gum disease/bone loss
- Reinforcing composite or acrylic bridgework
- Reinforcing and repair of acrylic dentures and partials, in the clinic OR the laboratory
- Reinforcing implant registration keys
- Creating custom-formed endodontic posts (with or without a prefabricated “Master” post)
