GREENVILLE, N.C.—Practicon has announced its acquisition of GlasSpan, the flexible ceramic fiber reinforcement material that combines bonding, ease of application and aesthetics with long-term dimensional stability.

Since 1992, GlasSpan has helped clinicians address a variety of treatment applications, including anterior and posterior periodontal splinting, emergency stabilization of re-implanted or injured teeth, and aesthetic, nonmetallic postorthodontic retention. 

Colorless, presilanated GlasSpan fibers readily adapt to all teeth, are virtually invisible when applied, and are easily cut to desired length, with no special scissors or handling required. Fully biocompatible, GlasSpan is available as an ultrathin woven tape or in three sizes of braided ropes. Practicon will fabricate GlasSpan at its manufacturing facility in Greenville, North Carolina.
