THE MESH TOOL

The NETFIL Mesh Tool represents an innovative advancement in dental resin composite technology, providing precise control over surface texturing, mechanical keying, and stress management during composite lamination. This tool introduces a scientifically engineered process to enhance the mechanical and structural properties of dental resin composite veneers, prostheses, and other restorative applications.

 The NETFIL Mesh Tool is a specialized texturing fabric designed for engraving, embossing, debossing, bosselating, and imprinting dental resin composite paste surfaces. Its functionality extends beyond simple surface texturing to provide mechanical keys that enhance bonding between layers, manage shrinkage stress, and improve the overall durability of dental resin composites. 

• Hexagonal / Honeycomb texture patterns for a range of clinical applications.
• Compatibility with high viscosity resin composite pastes.
• Easy adaptability and removal without distorting the resin composite surface.

 The NETFIL Mesh Tool utilizes non-woven mesh fabrics with openwork structures to create uniform texture patterns. Its non-woven design minimizes defects commonly seen in woven fabrics, such as broken ends or loose warp, making it more reliable and customizable for clinical use. 

The mesh tool is carefully placed over a spread of dental resin composite paste. Its conforming structure adapts seamlessly to the paste surface, even on uneven or intricate areas.

Mild pressure is applied to allow the resin composite paste to flow into the mesh's openwork structure without embedding the mesh entirely. The texture pattern imprinted on the resin composite serves as:

• Mechanical keys for interlayer adhesion.
• Stress-relief zones to mitigate polymerization shrinkage.effectively.

 The mesh is easily peeled away from the resin composite paste , leaving a textured surface. This surface is immediately cured with visible blue light, solidifying the texture into durable retentive features. 

 The NETFIL Mesh Tool enables precise texturing of each layer of dental resin composite. Dentists can gently stretch the mesh  to create anisotropic pattern structure, enhancing the mechanical properties and stress distribution even more. 

Texture patterns over a resin composite paste layer, reduce linear polymerization shrinkage stresses during polymerization or hardening.

 Well-distributed mechanical keys ensure superior adhesion between resin composite layers, leading to long-lasting restorations. 

From veneers to large-span prostheses, the NETFIL Mesh Tool is suitable for:

• Direct chairside sculpting
• Hand-layered chairside indirect restorations
• Hand-layered chairside indirect prostheses
• Dental laboratory composite 
• Periodontal splinting using resin composite alone

 Non-Woven Design: Ensures defect-free texture patterns. 

 High Adaptability: Supports diverse dental resin composite viscosities.

 Ease of Use: Lightweight and easily removable without distortion or residue. 

 Clinical Efficiency: Saves time while delivering consistent results. 

The textured surface created by the NETFIL Mesh Tool distributes and transfers stresses and strains  evenly across isotropic composite layers, enhancing bond integrity and structural reliability.

Mesh patterns  in successive layers create a laminate with tailored mechanical properties, depending on clinical needs, without the use of glass fiber reinforcements.
