Since 1992, Ribbond® bondable reinforcement ribbon set the standard for dental fiber reinforcement. Over the years many dentists have requested a thinner Ribbond. With this in mind, we developed new Ribbond-THM (thinner higher modulus).

Made from thinner fibers with a higher thread count, Ribbond-THM has a higher flexural strength than regular Ribbond and is only 0.18 mm thick. Ribbond-THM offers the same crack-stopping leno-weave and high strength fibers of Original Ribbond with greater manageability, greater ease-of-use, and thinner results.

Thinner Ribbond-THM adapts more closely to the teeth with even less memory than Original Ribbond and stays better in place before curing.

Not only is the finished prosthesis thinner, Ribbond-THM creates a smoother surface to the tongue. Ribbond-THM covers easier with composite with less show-through of the fiber.

Ribbond-THM is designed for use with applications in which thinness and higher modulus are the primary concerns. These applications include periodontal splints, orthodontic retainers, endodontic posts and cores or short span anterior bridges. Original Ribbond is the preferred material for applications in which the final breaking strength is the primary concern. These applications include provisional bridges, composite bridges and reinforcement of removable prostheses.

See for yourself how well Ribbond-THM can work for you and your patients. Your patients will appreciate the thinner and smoother finished prosthesis. You will appreciate the higher modulus and ease of adaptation.
