Dental materials and process utilizing etched silanated glass fiber
Patent 5098304 Issued on March 24, 1992. Estimated Expiration Date: May 15, 2010. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.
The composite resin reinforcement system for use in dental operations provides improved strength by the use of etched glass fiber material which is then silanated with an organo-functional silane and utilized in a composite resin in the dental operation. The glass fiber material may be uniform or random mesh, rope, thread or other suitable shapes. The etched silanated glass fiber material is utilized in the composite resin for restoring and/or splinting teeth.
