Ribbond THM is an excellent all-purpose fiber. It is 0.18 mm thick and is available in widths of 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 7mm and 1mm (for fixed orthodontic retainers). Ribbond is made from the same ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers used to make bulletproof vests. These fibers far exceed the breaking point of fiberglass and are so tough that specially made scissors are required to cut them. Unlike Kevlar, Ribbond's fibers absorb less moisture than the dental resins.

Ribbond-THM is the most popular Ribbond product for dentists. It is thinner (0. 18mm), easier to adapt, and has a higher modulus of elasticity than the Original Ribbond. It is the preferred material for periodontal splints, orthodontic retainers, and endodontic posts and cores. It is also excellent for single pontic anterior bridges.
