VOCO Amaris Gingiva – Set & Refill

Preparation: Clean the teeth to be treated. Ensure a sufficiently dry workfield. The use of rubber dam is recommended Cavity preparation: Generally, a minimally invasive preparation (adhesive restorative technique) should be carried out to conserve tooth substance. It is not necessary to prepare caries-free cervical defects. Here, cleaning with a cleaning paste or pumice and a rubber cup or rotating brushes is sufficient. The use of a retraction cord can be helpful Cleaning: Remove all residues from the cavity with the water jet Any contamination with blood or saliva after cleaning has to be avoided Remove water residues with a faint airjet, but do not overdry dentin. The aim is to achieve a moist, but not wet dentin surface (moist bonding) Color design: Dark or strongly yellowish necks of teeth impair the color effect of the restoration. Therefore, these cervical areas should be covered with the enclosed Opaquer system before applying the filling The set contains a shade guide which serves as an orientation to show the color effect of the Opaquers combined with the restorative. The shade guide is made from the following components: White - for a light gingival color Light- for a medium gingival color Dark- for a dark gingival color Nature- the basic gingival color The color can be individually adapted step by step by mixing the Opaquers Bond material: Amaris Gingiva is applied with a dentin/enamel bond in the adhesive technique. All light-curing bond materials can be used. Observe the instructions for use of the bond chosen Light-curing: For light-cured the material market-available polymerization lights are suited. The output should not be lower than 500 mW/cm². Application of the Opaquer: Apply some Opaquer onto the tooth surfaces to be covered and disperse thinly, then light-cure for 40 sec. If necessary, apply a second coat of Opaquer to cover the tooth surface, and light-cure for 40 sec. In order to ensure the function of the non-dripping syringe do not pull back the plunger during or after use. Application of Amaris Gingiva: Apply fillings of more than 2 mm thickness in layers. Light-cure each layer with blue light for 40 sec Use transparent strips and light-wedges. Make sure to obtain good marginal adaptation. Hold the end of the light-rod of the polymerization device as close to the filling as possible. If this distance is more than 5 mm, curing depth may be reduced and limited to the light-cone. Incomplete curing may lead to discoloration and pulpitis-like complaints or restoration failure. Contouring and finishing of the filling can be conducted immediately after removal of the shaping device, using cooling (e.g. fine or extrafine diamond polishers, polishing disks). Finally, the entire filling margin, preferable the entire tooth should be fluoridated.
