Composite Wetting Resin substantially facilitates and improves composite contouring: it makes composites more adaptive, prevents sticky instruments, and enhances composite layer bonding.
R E S T O R AT I V E Direct composite layering technique DENTIN CHARACTERIZATIONS ENAMEL ENAMEL ENAMEL TRANSLUCENT DENTIN For enamel-only restorations (class III) or small posterior restorations (classes I and V), use a single Amelogen Plus shade, usually enamel. For the most common case of both dentin and enamel restorations in intermediate-size class II, III, and IV cavities, use both a dentin and an enamel shade and make sure that composite enamel layer is thinner than natural enamel layer. For major enamel and dentin replacements or esthetically challenging restorations, use multiple dentin shades (darkest at the lowest point) and characterize with translucent shades, if needed. Esthetic Restoration with Amelogen Plus Courtesy of Dr. M. Fadanelli 1. Large class IV preparation. A silicon mold was made using the old restoration to assist in the reconstruction of the palatal anatomy. 2. Once the palatal enamel wall is in place and polymerized, place the inner opaque dentin layers. In this case, an A4 layer was placed cervically and superimposed by an A3 layer. An Ultrapak cord soaked with ViscoStat was used in the sulcus to prevent contamination from the sulcular fluid. 3. Next dentin layer (A2) is placed and the mamelon anatomy is built. The incisal translucent enamel layer will be placed in between the mamelons. 4. At the final stage of the tooth reconstruction, the same enamel shade used in the palatal wall is used to cover the entire buccal face of the restoration. In this case, Enamel Neutral (EN) was used. 5. Final aspect of the restoration in the mouth, after being polished and sealed with Perma Seal. Composite Wetting Resin WETTING RESIN • Facilitates composite adaptation • Moistens dry composite during contouring • No detriment to polymerization Inspiral Brush Tip Composite Wetting Resin substantially facilitates and improves composite contouring: it makes composites more adaptive, prevents sticky instruments, and enhances composite layer bonding. Composite Wetting Resin is 45% filled and solvent-free. This rules out negative effects on physical composite properties. UP 3059 Composite Wetting Resin 2 x 1.2 ml (1.85 g) Composite Wetting Resin For application, order: Inspiral Brush Tip In the dental office, liquid bonding agents are often used for modifying and wetting composites. These are, however, poorly suited for this purpose. Many of them contain solvents or even etchants and have a low filler content that will lead to composite weakening. ! 64
