everStick fibres – the beauty of composite
with the strength of steel
Patented IPN technology is at the heart of everStick fibres.
everStick® fibre bundles have up to 4000 individually silanated
E-glass fibres that are fully impregnated with resin. This fusion
of fibres and resin forms the exceptionally strong, aesthetic
and user-friendly Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN). The
IPN technology is extensively researched with over 300
publications.
®
A new breed of fibres for dentistry
• everStick® fibres are strong. IPN technology takes fibre
strength to a whole new level.
• everStick® fibres are simple to place. The IPN structure
means fibres can be positioned exactly where you need
them and are easy to manipulate and control.
Cross-sectional view of everStick® fibre. Silanated E-glass fibres are
impregnated with resin to form the strong and durable IPN structure.
• everStick® fibres have no compromise aesthetics, and
because resin is impregnated throughout the fibres the
subsequent application of bonding resin and composite is
quick and simple.

everStick®PERIO
everStick®PERIO offers a dynamic
and cost-effective alternative for
stabilising and replacing teeth.
®
everStick PERIO – the ideal splint
• Quick, clean and simple – just cut with scissors and
place, fibres remain smooth and do not fray
Periodontal splinting with everStick®PERIO can be successfully
used as a part of periodontal treatment. It has been shown that
teeth with healthy, but severely reduced periodontium can be
maintained with the aid of splints or fixed bridges.
• Comfortable for the patient – smooth and highly
aesthetic
• Supports teeth effectively – doesn’t cause torsional
stresses or act as an unintended orthodontic
appliance
• Superior durability – doesn’t attract plaque or stain
• Easy to remove when necessary
Elastic modulus that matches dentine
The flexural strength of the everStick fibre (1280MPa) is as
high as that of cast chrome cobalt metal and everStick®PERIO
elastic modulus is very close to that of dentine. The elasticity of
the glass fibres may be beneficial to the periodontal tissue,
because the surrounding supportive tissues are loaded more
naturally.
®

Improve quality of life
You can immobilise periodontally compromised teeth
effectively. Because this is a fixed solution, the patient can eat
and smile without difficulty and quality of life improves
considerably.

Quick and easy
Compared to many other fibres, everStick fibres don’t fray
and are very easy to handle and position. Just follow the
simple placement steps.
®
Change of treatment plan – no problem!
Splints can be re-activated and are easy to remodel or repair. If
the splint needs to be extended, or if an extracted tooth needs
to be replaced, there is no need to remove the whole splint.
Instead, due to the unique IPN structure, the splint can be
remodelled.

Q&A
What are the differences between everStick fibres and
polyethylene fibres?
everStick® fibre reinforcements are the only fibre products
that have been pre-impregnated with PMMA and bis-GMA
polymer to form an IPN structure. The bonding between the
individual silanated E-glass fibres and the resin matrix is
proven to be strong and stable. For this reason everStick®
fibres work effectively with both composite and acrylic
systems. In addition, having part of the resin matrix composed
of PMMA thermoplastic polymer means the fibre frame
surface is always partially re-dissolvable in the composite
cement. This property is unique to everStick® materials and
allows for strong adhesion of indirect bridges to the
composite cement and teeth.
®
Have you tried fibres before and were left disappointed?
everStick® is different. The IPN technology infused into the
everStick® fibres creates a far stronger fibre and resolves some
of the placement and clinical performance issues associated
with polyethylene fibres.
IPN technology ensures strong, consistent adhesion between
the everStick® fibres and over-layered composite. For
polyethylene fibres, the adhesion between fibres and
composite has been inconsistent. When woven polyethylene
fibres are supplied dry they are very difficult to wet with
bonding agents and resins.
Can I add onto everStick® fibres once they are cured?
Yes. The significance of the IPN structure is that surfaces can
be reactivated even after the final polymerisation.
Reactivation is achieved by applying the StickRESIN
(containing bis-GMA and TEDMA) to the fibres. A small
amount of StickRESIN is placed on the fibre surface for 5
minutes and kept in the dark during reactivation.
Not being able to achieve adequate resin penetration into the
fibres results in a weakened interface, leading to delamination
or separation of the composite from the polyethylene fibres.
Exposed polyethylene fibres are uncomfortable to the tongue
and will absorb moisture leading to discolouration, staining
and increased plaque accumulation.
Cutting everStick fibres with a pair of sharp scissors is much
®
easier and cleaner. Polyethylene fibres need to be cut with
special cutting pliers and there is a tendency to create frayed
ends, which can introduce further placement challenges.
EverStick fibres are easy to place. They can be spread very
®
thinly and
evenly and feel comfortable for the patient.
Depending on the clinical case, the thickness of polyethylene
fibres has meant that once they are covered by composite they
can be quite bulky and often uncomfortable for the patient.
12
•
PMMA in the matrix of the fibre bundle is partly removed
(dissolved) by the StickRESIN during reactivation – this
creates spaces for micromechanical retention. In fact, by
doing this we ”etch” the surface of the fibre with the
resin.
•
Chemical bonding (retention) occurs between the
polymerised fibre surface and the new composite
because PMMA is a linear polymer and the ends of linear
polymer chains react with new resin.
everStick®
Reactivation is crucial for superior bonding when laboratory
manufactured restorations are cemented to teeth and
when fibre-reinforced composite devices are remodelled or
repaired.
How should everStick® products be stored?
everStick products should always be stored in a refrigerator (28°C). In addition, the products should be protected from light
by storing them in their sealed foil packages after use.
®
An elevated temperature and exposure to bright light may
shorten the lifespan of everStick® products.
What material can I use for luting indirect everStick® fibre
constructions to the teeth?
When using an indirect bonding method, the surfaces of
the fibre frame are first dissolved for five minutes with
StickRESIN, or another suitable resin (any light-curing resin
that does not contain fillers, self-etching monomers or
solvents i.e. acetone, ethanol, alcohol, water). After this,
luting is completed with either dual or chemically-curing
composite cement.
Prior to application, the products are taken out of the
refrigerator and the foil package opened, but they should be
kept away from bright daylight or artificial light. While cutting
the fibre bundle, the rest of the fibre bundle inside the foil
package should be kept covered from light. Immediately after
cutting a sufficient length for the fibre construction, the foil
package is carefully resealed and returned to the refrigerator.
What technique and material can I use for bonding direct
everStick® fibre constructions to the teeth?
We recommend a combination of adhesive and flowable
composite. After cleaning the prepared tooth, the enamel
is etched. Apply bonding resin following manufacturer’s
directions (eg G-ænial Bond) and light-cure. A layer of Gænial Universal Flo is placed onto the bonded surface but
not light-cured. The everStick® fibre is then placed into the
unset G-ænial Universal Flo. Together they are light-cured
to securely bond everStick® fibres to the tooth. Note that
the everStick® fibres can be spread to reduce bulk and
better adapt to an external bonding surface if desired.
How many adjacent pontics can you build using everStick®
fibre reinforcement material?
In each patient case you must always take into consideration
other relevant factors such as the occlusion, the antagonistic
material, the amount of fibres used and the placing/positioning
of the fibres etc. When the prognosis is good, a fibre bridge for
three pontics should last as well as bridges made of other
materials. The bridge’s lifespan is determined by the durability
of the composite material and the clinical circumstances.
Can everStick® fibres be bonded to ceramics?
Fibre frames can be bonded to ceramics in just the same
way as composite. The crucial thing is to choose the right
etching material (hydrofluoric acid) and adhesive (including
a silane coupling agent).
