Quartz Splint

Quartz Splint is the ideal choice whether I have a patient that demands the highest levels of Cosmetics or to strengthen a denture suffering from bruxism.

In flared and oddly-formed root canal treatments, I have had good success so far using Uni-directional Quartz Splint to augment the main fiber post. It works with Macro-Lock, DT Light-Post or any other fiber post. It saves time and money compared to a cast post and it provides a stronger mass than composite resin or cement alone.

My adventure with fiber splint has begun in 1997. I have worked with variety of fiber splints from many different companies. For eight years I am using in my practice only
Quartz Splint RTD. I use them mainly for indirect restorations, but I also love the moment when after extraction of the anterior tooth I can quickly and easily make the direct restoration on the Quartz Splint Woven and the patient can leave my surgery with a smile.

I love the Quartz Splint Mesh, as it is colorless, stronger and therefore I can make dentures, acrylic flippers and denture/partial repairs without the bulk and the color of the metal showing through them. They're still strong, and thinner than trying to introduce a metal reinforcement bar in the lingual of the mandibular appliance. After using it, I just can't see why someone would want to use anything else. The Denturist has devised a way to use a thin, clear vacuum sheet over the Mesh. We just use a curing light and it is finished in a matter of seconds. It's a no-brainer.

The basis for a good long lasting splint is the fiber framework and the Quartz Splint provides strength, superb clinical handling ability and a beautiful end-result. I have used the Quartz Splint in periodontally afflicted teeth, in traumacases and as retention for post-orthodontic cases. The fibers adapt very easily around the curvatures and it bonds effectively; creating the necessary monobloceffect. I would highly recommend the Quartz Splint to all clinicians.

I have been using Quartz Splint primarily to reinforce transitional bridges, using both the Woven and UD materials. They are extremely easy to use and have solved many situations in which the patient was experiencing transitional bridge fracture. The esthetics are excellent and patients are very satisfied with the results. There are many other applications for the Quartz Splint materials which I will take advantage of, having seen the outstanding results so far.

Quartz Splint is the finest material available for the enhancement of resin bonded restorations. I have used it successfully for long term provisionals, periodontal splinting, orthodontic retention, post and core buildups and denture repair. It is truly a universal aid whenever I need additional strength and prevention of a catastrophic failure. The pre-impregnated resin makes it ready to use out of the box. It just docent get any easier than this!

Impregnated fibers with a high modulus of elasticity and excellent integration with composite resins: Quartz Splint is applied science. With a comprehensive portfolio that combines unidirectional fibers and multidirectional mesh/woven with a very high fiber-to-resin ratio.

Today, as adhesion has become a fundamental pillar of restorative dentistry, having access to these resources is crucial to optimize the reinforcement and connection of dental structures with significant structural compromise, thus promoting more predictable, conservative, and long-lasting rehabilitations.
