If a pontic will be subject to high stresses, this wrap technique can provide added strength to the pontic framework.
Follow standard technique to build up the FibreKor framework span, then use the technique described below to
create the pontic framework.
1. Place a short strip of FibreKor 16K to the buccal and to the lingual surfaces of the framework to start the pontic form as in
standard technique.
2. Adapt the end of a single strip of FibreKor 2K or 4K material to the occlusal surface of the pontic form. (Fig 1)
3. Carefully wrap the FibreKor strip tightly around the pontic form (Fig 2). Continue to wrap the material until a single layer covers
the occlusal surface with minimum overlap.
4. Trim any remaining length of the strip and carefully adapt the wrapped material to the pontic form.
5. Fill in any voids between FibreKor layers with FibreFlo resin.
6. Light cure in the Sculpture Curing Light using the Build-up cycle. (Fig 3)
7. Framework is complete. Continue with Sculpture Plus overlay as in standard technique.
