Pre-impregnated fiber reinforcement material challenges Ribbond for top market share
Dentapreg USA is pleased to announce their agreement with ADM, s.a. for the North American distribution rights of the Dentapreg line of Fiber Reinforcement Materials. This agreement between the two companies completes ADM’s worldwide distribution of the product that began over 10 years ago.
The Dentapreg line consists of twelve different configurations of 45mm length strips. Each category (Splints, Retainers & Bridges) consist of either unidirectional or multidirectional fibers in either round or flat strips. Each package contains one type of fiber in eight hermetically sealed compartments for less waste.
The Dentapreg line sets itself apart from the competition in several ways. Dentapreg is much easier to use. Because Dentapreg is pre-impregnated with a light curing resin, it requires no messy wetting agents and eliminates a full step in the Fiber Reinforced Composite (FRC) construction. This resin also aids in forming the strip to the effected area due to its tacky, honey like consistency. Dentapreg does not require any special cutting instruments, composite materials or gloves with the use of its strips.
Dentapreg will be sold directly to the dentists allowing for the most economical FRC’s on the market. Besides being the easiest and most economical fiber reinforcement on the market, it is also the strongest. Dentapreg has scored almost 1,500 pounds tensile strength in recent testing by an independent lab. Other competitors only averaged 675 pounds.
Dentapreg has plans to show in the upcoming Yankee Dental Congress show, Chicago Dental Society mid-winter show and the Thomas P Hinman Dental Show in Atlanta, GA.
