“GlasSpan, in a sense, has revolutionized dentistry by eliminating the need for wire or metal for composite reinforcement. Dr. Jonathan Scharf’s contribution to the dental profession has been beneficial, indeed. It’s great to have an ideal fiber reinforcement that’s advantageous both aesthetically and functionally”

- Dr. Irwin Smigel
Founder, American Society for Dental Aesthetics
New York, NY


“The ease of use of the GlasSpan tape in comparison to alternative products is far superior. We are able to manipulate this material in such a way that we can keep it very thin within the wings of a bridge and still gain strength.”

- Daniel Materdomini, CLT
Owner, Da Vinci Studios

“I applaud GlasSpan for being, without exception, the very finest bondable reinforcement material available to the dental profession.”

- Dr. Robert Nixon

“GlasSpan is one of those rare products whose number of valuable uses is limited only to the imagination of the dentist."

- Dr. Ronald Jackson

“If you need to connect teeth and you care about esthetics, you cannot be without this material in your practice.”

- Dr. Bruce Singer

“GlasSpan makes space age splinting possible. If you have to own one kit, this is the one.”

“As a practicing endodontist and member of the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, I have treated numerous trauma cases. The GlasSpan system is both clinically superior and easier to manipulate than any of the previous techniques available for trauma splinting. I have always needed some guidance choosing the appropriate etchants and composite materials to use with the fibers, and I really didn’t want to go to multiple sources to find everything I needed for a composite fiber reinforcement system. Now all the materials are included in one package with a clear concise instruction manual. For my practice and my students, the GlasSpan “Master Clinician Kit” is the way to go!”

- Dr. Samuel Kratchman, Endodontist,
Assistant Director of Graduate Endodontics,
University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine

“Four Star Rating. GlasSpan is really quite different than Ribbond® and Connect®. Its ropes are more applicable to groove-like preparations and reinforced composite posts, since they can be pre-injected with flowable composite. Its tape is thinner than the other materials, which makes it a good choice for thin wings in composite resin-bonded bridges and, since it doesn’t require cold plasma treatment, contamination is less an issue.”

“I have been a practicing periodontist since 1974. Many of my patients with advanced periodontal disease have required some type of semi-permanent stabilization, most techniques being quite invasive. The introduction of the GlasSpan fiber reinforcement kit in 1992 allowed me to utilize a much less invasive and simpler technique to accomplish the very same stabilization. My patients have been in these GlasSpan fiber reinforced splints for many years with great satisfaction. As a periodontist I find it difficult to keep up with the latest developments in composite resin technology. The availability of the GlasSpan “Master Clinician Kit” makes things even easier for me leaving the choice of restorative materials to professionals on the cutting edge!”

Diplomate, American Board of Periodontology

“I have been a practicing Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for ten years, and have successfully used the GlasSpan fiber reinforcement system to place fixed pontics over my bone grafting sites. This prevents movement and pressure on the graft site and suture line. I have also used the system to splint teeth following alveolar and dental trauma. The GlasSpan system is easy to use and reliable. The new "Master Clinician Kit" has makes it convenient in the oral surgery and trauma setting where the ideal etchants, bonding agents and composites are not well understood. I strongly recommend that you try the system. GlasSpan has worked extremely well for me!”
