METHOD FOR REINFORCING COMPOSITE MATERIALS BY MEANS OF V-SHAPED METAL NET WHEN TREATING 1/3 CENTRAL INCISORS DEFECTS Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves using V-shaped reinforcing member. The V-shaped reinforcing member has metal net having small cells and composite hardening under light action. The member is set into prepared vestibular and oral grooves of 1.5-2.0 mm in depth arranged in parallel to each other 1.0-1.5 mm far from aproximal tooth surfaces. The net is V-shaped and is mounted in the grooves, the rest free part of the net substitutes dental defect. The net is preliminarily covered with masking agent layer to retain its cellular structure. After having been mounted in the grooves, the net is concurrently filled with fluid-flow composite and directed polymerization is carried out. Final repair of dental cutting edge is carried out with frontal teeth composite material. Final finishing and polishing is carried out at the second day after repair procedure. EFFECT: prevented shear fracture and cleavage; retained pulp viability; long service life. 10 dwg
