Direction to Use
Tooth Preparation:
- Ensure that the tooth to be treated and adjacent teeth are clean.
Shade Selection:
- Use a Shade Guide to select the appropriate shade for the restoration.
Cavity Preparation:
- Prepare the cavity to remove any decay or existing restorative material, ensuring it’s clean and free of contaminants.
Etching:
- Apply a suitable etchant (e.g., phosphoric acid) to the prepared tooth surface. Follow the recommended etching time, usually 15-20 seconds.
Rinsing:
- Rinse the etchant off with a vigorous water spray and then thoroughly rinse the conditioned area with water for at least 10 seconds.
Drying:
- Blot-dry the conditioned area with a moist cotton pellet to remove excess moisture.
Application of Bonding Agent:
- Apply a dentine bonding agent (e.g., Tetric N-Bond) to the entire cavity. Ensure thorough wetting of the cavity.
Air Drying:
- Allow the bonding agent to air dry for the recommended time. Some bonding agents may require more than one coat.
Curing:
- Cure the bonding agent with a curing light for the recommended time.
Application of Tetric N-Ceram:
- Dispense Tetric N-Ceram into the prepared cavity and shape it as needed. It may be necessary to build in increments if restoring a larger area.
Light Curing:
Cure the Tetric N-Ceram material with a curing light, typically involving using the curing light for a specified amount of time.
Finishing:
- Shape and polish the restoration using standard techniques.
Application of Protective Varnish:
- In some cases, a protective varnish (e.g., Nano Coat) may be applied to enhance the final appearance and protect the restoration.
