Dental adhesive device and method of producing same

The method of producing a dental adhesive product which comprises, applying a dry thermoplastic ethylene oxide polymer to a surface of a first fibrous web, contacting said first web with a second fibrous web in superimposed relation, and applying pressure and dry heat to deform the ethylene oxide polymer and thereby thermoplastically bond the webs into a unitary structure.

A new dental adhesive product comprising a laminate of superimposed webs, each web having a carrier portion with synthetic fibers held therein and protruding therefrom to present a fiber facing on each side of each of said webs such that said fibers of each of said respective webs are caused to intermingle in the region between said webs, said fibers of said webs being dry heat bonded to each other by thermoplastic ethylene oxide polymer located between said webs, said ethylene oxide polymer having been deformed by the application of dry heat and pressure whereby the ethylene oxide polymer both bonds said webs and is available to the user as a dental fixative.

The method of producing a dental adhesive product which comprises inserting a plurality of synthetic fibers into first and second fibrous webs so that the fibers extend transversely through the webs, applying a dry thermoplastic ethylene oxide polymer to a surface of the first web, contacting the first web with the second web in superimposed relation, and applying pressure and dry heat to deform the ethylene oxide polymer and thereby thermoplastically bond the webs and the fibers into a unitary structure.

A new dental adhesive product comprising a laminate of superimposed webs, each web having fibers held therein and protruding therefrom to present a fiber facing on each side of each of said webs such that said fibers of each of said respective webs are intermingled and entangled so as to be mechanically interlocked in the region between said webs, said fibers of said webs being dry heat bonded to each other by thermoplastic ethylene oxide polymer located between said webs, said ethylene oxide polymer having been deformed by the application of dry heat and pressure whereby the ethylene oxide polymer both bonds said webs and is available to the user as a dental fixative.

The method of producing a dental adhesive product which comprises, inserting a plurality of synthetic fibers into first and second fibrous webs so that the fibers extend transversely through the webs, entangling the respective ends of the fibers extending from the first web with those extending from the second web so that the respective ends become mechanically interlocked, applying a dry thermoplastic ethylene oxide polymer to a surface of the first web, contacting the first web with the second web in superimposed relation, and applying pressure and dry heat to deform the ethylene oxide polymer and thereby thermoplastically bond the webs and the fibers into a unitary structure.
