Composite/Fiber Restoration

• Using Ribbond in composite restorations greatly minimizes polymerization shrinkage; decreases the effects of c-factor; increases micro-tensile bond strength; and therefore reduces leakage and sensitivity.
  
  
• Ribbond bridges cracks in the teeth and eliminates split tooth syndrome.
  
  
• Ribbond prevents micro-cracks from coalescing into real cracks. It acts as a stress distributor and energy absorber.
  
  
• Studies show that when composite restorations containing Ribbond fail, they fail safely and can be retreated.
