Direction to Use
Shade Selection and Isolation:
- Select the appropriate shade for the restoration.
- Isolate the treatment area, preferably using a rubber dam, to ensure a clean and dry working environment.
Cavity Preparation and Cleaning:
- Prepare the tooth cavity as required by the adhesive technique.
- Clean the prepared cavity with a water spray and air dry it to achieve a dry surface.
Pulp Protection and Cement:
- If needed, apply a pulp protector, such as calcium hydroxide, covering only areas close to the pulp.
- Apply a pressure-resistant cement (e.g., Vivaglass Liner) if required
Matrix & Wedge Placement:
- Position a matrix (e.g., OptraMatrix) and an interdental wedge if necessary to establish the proper shape for the restoration.
Eco-Etch Application:
- Apply Eco-Etch first on the enamel and then on the dentin.
- Allow it to react for 30 seconds on enamel and 15 seconds on dentin.
- Rinse thoroughly with a water spray and dry the tooth surfaces with oil-free compressed air. Avoid dehydrating the dentin.
Te-Econom Bond Application and Light Curing:
- Apply a generous amount of Te-Econom Bond to both enamel and dentin using the provided applicator brush.
- Gently brush the material into the dentin for 10 seconds.
- Evaporate any remaining solvent with a slow stream of air.
- Light cure the adhesive according to the recommended curing times, ensuring complete coverage.
Te-Econom Flow and Te-Econom Plus Application:
- Apply Te-Econom Flow in layers of up to 2 mm and light cure according to the recommendations.
- Apply Te-Econom Plus in layers of up to 2 mm and contour the material with suitable instruments (e.g., OptraSculpt).
- Polymerize each layer individually according to the provided instructions.
8. Finishing and Polishing:
- Finish the restoration with appropriate finishers or fine diamonds.
- Check the occlusion.
- Polish the restoration with silicone polishers (e.g., OptraPol Next Generation) for a smooth, aesthetically pleasing result.
