Direction to Use
Dispensing and Application
- Dispense the desired amount of Tetric N-Bond into a clean mixing well.
- Use a disposable applicator, such as the Vivadent Applicator Brush, to apply Tetric N-Bond to the tooth surfaces.
Light Protection:
- To prevent premature curing due to exposure to light, protect the adhesive by using a light-protective material like VivaPad. Ensure that the bottle is closed immediately after each use.
Disposable Applicator:
- For each application, use a new, disposable applicator. This maintains proper hygiene during the procedure.
Application on Tooth Surfaces:
- Apply a thick layer of Tetric N-Bond onto the enamel and dentin surfaces of the tooth that requires treatment.
Brushing and Activation:
- Gently brush the adhesive material into the dentin for at least 10 seconds. This ensures proper activation and adhesion.
Check for Coverage:
- Ensure there is no insufficient coverage of the cavity. If necessary, apply additional Tetric N-Bond material to achieve complete coverage.
Removal of Excess:
- To avoid pooling and excess material, remove any surplus adhesive and solvent using a gentle stream of air.
Curing:
- Light-cure Tetric N-Bond according to the recommended curing times based on your specific curing light unit program. For example, it may be:
- High Power Program: 10 seconds for certain curing lights.
- Low Power Program: 10 seconds for others.
