David Rudo DDS: 

Fiber Composites in Dentistry
Clinical Applications; how and why they work
 

The scientific part of the presentation will describe how dental resins and composites fail by cracking and how Ribbond, Bondable Reinforcement Fiber stops cracking failure. The attendees will learn how to apply the scientific principles of fiber composite technology to constructing fiber reinforced dental restorations and prostheses. 

The clinical application part will include examples of Ribbond fiber composite solutions to traditional dental problems. These applications include constructing periodontal splints and orthodontic retainers, directly and indirectly constructed composite bridges, endodontic posts and cores, reinforcing large composite restorations, treating split tooth syndrome, and reinforcing provisional bridges, and repairs. 

After attending this presentation, the attendees will understand how to use the most current fiber composite technology to solve the treatment problems they encounter every day in their clinical treatment.

DAVID N. RUDO, DDS

Graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1961 and maintained a practice of general dentistry in Seattle, USA for over 30 years. Dr. Rudo’s research in the use of fiber reinforcement to solve the problem of structural failure of dental resin and composite restorations, prostheses, and appliances culminated in the development of Ribbond® bondable reinforcement ribbon.

Since 1993, Dr. Rudo has devoted his time to research in the field of fiber reinforcement technology in dentistry and the development of various applications of Ribbond. He has presented at universities in Europe and the United States as well as presentations before numerous clinical and scientific organizations including The Academy of Operative Dentistry, The American Prosthodontic Society, The Academy of Osseointegration, The European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry, The International Association of Dental Research, and the Society of Biomaterials.
