Step-by-step instructions

Shade selection should be made prior to the restorative procedure while the teeth are hydrated

Step 1-Cavity preparation

1. Clean the tooth surface with a fluoride free prophylaxis paste (e.g. Nupro® prophylaxis paste). 2. Prepare cavity (unless not necessary, e.g. cervical lesion).
3. Use adequate isolation such as rubber dam. Do not desiccate the tooth structure.
(Matrix placement and wedging (Class II restorations))

Step 2 -Pulp protection, tooth conditioning/dentin pre-treatment, adhesive application. Once the surfaces have been properly treated, they must be kept uncontaminated. Proceed immediately to placement of the material.

Step 3- Application

Apply material in increments immediately after the application of the adhesive. The material is designed to be cured in increments up to a 3 mm depth/thickness.
Protect the restorative material on the mixing pad against light.

Step 4- Light curing

1. Light cure each area of the restoration surface with a suitable curing light.3 Minimum light output must be at least 500 mW/cm2. Refer to curing light manufacturer’s Instructions for Use for compatibility and curing recommendations.

2. Cure each layer accordingly to the mentioned amount of time

Step 5- Finishing and polishing

1. Contour the restoration using finishing burs or diamonds.
2. Use Enhance® finishing devices for additional finishing.
3. Prior to polishing, check that surface is smooth and free of defects.
4. For achieving a very high luster of the restoration, we recommend ceram.x® gloss, Enhance® and PoGo®, finishing and polishing instruments, Prisma® Gloss™ Regular and Extra fine polishing paste.
