StickSTEPPER Instrument for everStick - GC

GC StickSTEPPER is a handheld instrument for use with Stick and everStick fiberglass products.

everStick® for everyday dentistry

everStick® fiberglass reinforcements have been developed to provide
practitioners of new modern solutions and patients greater comfort.
The fiber reinforcements are made of silanated glass fibers, a polymer
thermoplastic and a photopolymerizable resinous matrix.
everStick® products allow minimal dentistry that preserves tissues
healthy patient for as long as clinically possible, while
allowing other treatment options should the patient need them
later.

IPN - the heart of everStick® fibers

The quality of the bond between the fibers and the composite material is the determining factor in ensuring the longevity of the treatment. Only everStick® products have
a unique, patented interpenetrating polymer network structure (IPN structure).
This network guarantees powerful adhesion allowing bonded restorations
long-lasting and easy to handle.

The IPN structure finds its importance in the possibility of redrafting the surfaces even after the final polymerization. Reactivation is crucial for bonding
higher when
• restorations made in the laboratory are bonded to the teeth;
• fiber-reinforced composite devices are remodeled or repaired.

The IPN structure makes everStick® products fundamentally different
of all other existing fibers or composite materials.
