Information about the fibres
Composition of everStick fibre: 4000 silanated glass fibres impregnated with PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) polymer and bis-gma. gel matrix (light cure monomer). Furthermore, the fibre bundle is surrounded by a PMMA outer layer. The earlier version, Stick fibre, did not have the bis-gma component or the separate PMMA covering.
Since everStick contains the light curing bis-gma component, it does not need to be impregnated with resin again before use. However, if the restoration was made in a laboratory, the surfaces need to be wetted with resin before bonding to the teeth. This also applies to repairs and to reactivation of the PMMA gel matrix where required. The PMMA covering: It improves the bond to the acrylic and composite materials and also makes the material easier to handle. The bis-gma alone is too sticky and sticks easily to the instruments and other materials.
