IPN Technology: Unique polymer structure allows for reliable chemical bonding even after the fiber has been light-cured.

High Flexural Strength: Dramatically increases the load-bearing capacity of composite restorations.

Minimally Invasive: Allows for tooth-preserving preparations compared to traditional metal-based options.

Elasticity Similar to Dentin: Reduces stress concentration at the bond interface, mimicking natural tooth behavior.

Aesthetic Integration: Metal-free and translucent fibers blend seamlessly under composite materials.

Versatility: Different fiber orientations (bundled, net, or post) tailored for specific dental needs.

GC everStick fibers are composed of silanized glass fibers impregnated with a light-curable resin. They are designed to solve the common problem of composite brittleness. Whether used for splinting loose teeth, creating chairside bridges, or reinforcing large restorations, the everStick family provides a biomimetic alternative to cast metal reinforcements, offering patients a metal-free, high-strength result in a single visit.

Material: E-glass fibers with a PMMA/bis-GMA polymer matrix.

Fiber Diameter: Varies by product (e.g., everStick C&B approx. 1.5mm).

Bonding System: Chemical and mechanical (IPN technology).

Light Curing: Required (standard dental LED/Halogen units).

Biocompatibility: High; non-allergenic and metal-free.

everStick C&B: For bridges (available in 1 x 8cm or 2 x 12cm refills).

everStick PERIO: For periodontal splinting (1 x 8cm or 2 x 12cm).

everStick ORTHO: For orthodontic retainers (2 x 12cm).

everStick POST: Individually packed glass fiber posts (various diameters: 0.9, 1.2, 1.5).

everStick NET: Fiber mesh for reinforcing veneers or dentures (1 x 30cm²).

Preparation: Prepare the tooth surfaces using standard adhesive protocols (etching and bonding).

Sizing: Measure the required length of fiber using dental floss or a probe. Cut the fiber (with the protective foil) using sharp scissors.

Positioning: Apply a thin layer of flowable composite or bonding agent. Place the fiber and adapt it tightly to the tooth structure using a silicone instrument (like StickREFIX).

Initial Cure: Pre-cure the fiber for 5–10 seconds per tooth segment to stabilize its position.

Final Layering: Cover the fiber completely with a final layer of composite and perform a full light cure (40 seconds per segment).

Finishing: Contour and polish the composite as usual.

Handling: Always use powder-free gloves to prevent contamination of the IPN layer.

Light Sensitivity: Keep fibers protected from ambient light in their original foil packaging until immediately before use.

Storage: Must be stored in a refrigerator (2–8°C / 35.6–46.4°F) to maintain the reactivity of the resin matrix.

Shelf Life: 2 Years from the date of manufacture.
