Specialized Dental Restoration Tool Manufactured in Iran
Atrak Besparfan company has launched the production line of its composite fiber post products under the brand name of AtraPost which consists of a polymer matrix made of epoxy and glass reinforcing fibers. In these posts the glass fibers are stretched in the longitudinal direction using the pultrusion method. AtraPost includes a thin stainless steel rod that makes it easier to see the post in radiographic images.
The company also produces dental adhesive which is used in dentistry to adhere veneers to prevent them from loosening and separating. These adhesives contribute significantly to the better performance of the veneer by increasing its strength and stability.
In another development in January, a company in Iran had also succeeded in manufacturing nanocomposite dental cement based on zinc phosphate with high anti-corrosion and antibacterial properties for tooth restoration.
“Nanocomposites are the latest generation of dental composites that enjoy higher strength and resistance than other composites,” Nazanin Farhadyar, the managing director of the knowledge-based ‘Nano Pouyesh Yekta Nano’ company, told ANA.
“Conventional non-nano zinc phosphate cements are not antibacterial and are less hard than other cements due to their low thickness, but the nano zinc phosphate composite made in our company has high anti-bacterial and anti-corrosion properties and is used as a dental cement for orthodontics, bridges and restoration,” she added.
Development and production of nano materials, different types of special and custom nano catalysts, nano absorbents, nano fibers, natural polymer nano capsules, and metal nano oxides, and holding specialized courses in the field of commercialization of nano products, start-up of new nano technologies and safety of nano materials are other activities of the knowledge-based company.
