• Due to the enhanced elasticity of the material, the lips and cheeks are even more gently retracted around the circumference of the mouth. Consequently, OptraDam Plus is now even more comfortable to wear even during lengthy procedures.
• Simultaneous isolation of both arches thanks to the tension-free placement
• Its anatomical shape helps to create a considerably larger treatment field. At the same time complete isolation of both arches is achieved.

Description

OptraDam Plus is an anatomically shaped rubber dam for the absolute isolation of the working field. It provides retraction of lips and cheeks during dental treatment and offers the clinician increased visibility and accessibility. In addition, the device facilitates the evacuation of water spray. OptraDam Plus features high flexibility and elasticity in all directions of movement, provides patient comfort and assists in keeping the patient’s mouth open. OptraDam Plus is made of latex and powdered with corn starch. OptraDam Plus is available in regular and small sizes

OptraDam Plus is based on an innovative, three-dimenional technique to establish a completely dry treatment field.

Due to its anatomical shape and flexible, three-dimensional design, OptraDam is completely different from conventional rubber dams. As the dam is automatically stretched in an oral direction, an automatic hold of the device in the oral cavity is ensured. OptraDam is available in the adult sizes “Regular” and “Small”.

INDICATIONS:

• Direct adhesive restoration of teeth
• Indirect adhesive luting (e.g. of crowns or partial crowns)
• Endodontic treatment
• X-rays (without time-consuming removal and re-insertion)
• Cosmetic and prophylactic treatment procedures: in-office bleaching, fissure sealing, etc.

Advantages

• Easy application thanks to the integrated frame and pre-printed arch template

Due to the enhanced flexibility of the plastic rings, OptraDam Plus can be placed more easily in the patient’s mouth. The optimized position of the pre-printed arch template ensures that the dam automatically adapts to the sulcus. Isolation in the gingival region is thus improved. Because of the improved elastic resilience of the latex material, contact points can be overcome easily, which facilitates the isolation procedure.

• High patient comfort thanks to the flexible, three-dimensional design

Due to the enhanced elasticity of the material, the lips and cheeks are even more gently retracted around the circumference of the mouth. Consequently, OptraDam Plus is now even more comfortable to wear even during lengthy procedures.

• Simultaneous isolation of both arches thanks to the tension-free placement

Its anatomical shape helps to create a considerably larger treatment field. At the same time complete isolation of both arches is achieved.

Ivoclar Tetric N Ceram Starter Kit with Tetric N Bond Universal 3g

FEATURES:

• • Low shrinkage.
  • Low wear and high strength.
  • Nano color pigment.
  • Polymerisation in 10 seconds.

   

  Description

  The composite restorative Tetric N-Ceram incorporates state-of-the-art nano-hybrid technology.

  Tetric N-Ceram from Ivoclar Vivadent is a light-curing, radiopaque dental restorative. It is suitable for the esthethic restoration of teeth in the anterior and posterior region.

  Because of the nano-hybrid technology, Tetric N-Ceram features excellent mechanical properties. The prepolymers are responsible for the material’s low shrinkage. Tetric N-Ceram’s high radiopacity of 400 % Al is due to the filler ytterbium fluoride. It considerably facilitates the radiographic detection of secondary caries. Tetric N-Ceram’s nano-optimized formula forms the basis of the material’s low wear and high strength.

  Versatile application and shading options
  The nano-modifier contained in Tetric N-Ceram imparts the material with outstanding modelling properties. The material does not stick to instruments. Nano-particles are responsible for the material’s exceptional polishing properties. The integrated nano-colour pigments are characteristic of the technology used in Tetric N-Ceram. Together with the natural translucency of the material, they create a chameleon effect. The nano-colour pigments feature a spherical structure. As they are homogenously distributed in the composite, they are responsible for improving the adjustment of the shade of the restoration to the surrounding natural teeth. As a result, very beautiful restorations are achieved, which are hardly distinguishable from the natural tooth structure. Tetric N-Ceram is available in 16 shades: two dentin shades, ten enamel shades, a highly translucent incisal shade and three bleach shades.

   

  INDICATIONS:

   – Universal use – for anterior and posterior restorations

  ADVANTAGES:
  

   – Excellent radiopacity– Good polishability – Nano-fillers complete the finely tuned filler technology – Nano-colour pigments are responsible for the material’s unique chameleon effect – The nano-modifier ensures optimum stability and excellent  sculptability – The material does not stick to the instru

Ivoclar Total Etch Assortment Kit & Refill

FEATURES:

• • Balanced handling properties
  • Quick, effective application due to consistent material thickness
  • Colour can be easily differentiated from the tooth
  • Special displacer on the plunger ensures economical dispensing of material
  • Practical Jumbo syringe to refill syringes

   

  Description

  Total Etch is an etching gel containing 37% phosphoric acid. Total Etch is used for enamel etching and dentin conditioning in conjunction with sealants, composite restorations and the adhesive luting of indirect all-ceramic or composite restorations.

  Indications

  Total Etch is used in the enamel etch or total etch technique for the following indications:

  • Composite restorations
  • Adhesive luting of inlays, crowns, bridges, veneers, adhesive bridges and root canal posts
  • Splints
  • Luting of orthodontic appliances (e.g. brackets) and bonding of tooth jewellery (e.g. Skyce)
  • Fissure sealings

   

  Advantages

  Consistent viscosity

  The viscosity of etching gels may be impaired when they are pressed through the tight nozzle of the dispensing tip. Conventional products often become runny and difficult to apply accurately. The gel flows into the cavity uncontrolled. Due to special filler composition, Total Etch has an ideal and above all consistent thickness that enables it to be applied quickly and effectively.

  Distinct blue colour

  The blue colour provides a strong contrast to the tooth and allows the gel to be applied accurately. Residue is easy to recognize after rinsing, therefore, minimizing the risk of over-etching.

  Easy handling

  • Octagonal finger rest facilitates application and prevents syringe from rolling away
  • Angled metal tip for exact application
  • Special displacer to prevent material from being wasted

  Efficient and economical use

  The convenient Jumbo syringe, which is used to refill syringes, offers a cost-effective solution for keeping adequate amounts of gel in stock. Thanks to the Luer Lock system, the tip can be securely attached and a tight connection to the Jumbo syringe is ensured.

  • Also available in bottles and Soft Touch Single Dose vessels
  • Reliable adhesion, as ExcitTE F establishes a strong bond to enamel and dentin
  • Consistent quality due to its acetone-free chemistry
  • Fluoride release
  • Reduced postoperative sensitivity because dentin surfaces are effectively sealed
  • Versatile system – Accurate fit of indirect restorations due to the low film thickness

  Innovative and user-friendly – The new VivaPen

  • The optimized VivaPen with the new design, improved ergonomic features and integrated fill-level indicator.
  • The novel snap-on cannula is attached to the VivaPen.
  • The new VivaPen features an easy-tooperate click mechanism. A few clicks are sufficient to saturate the brush tip with an appropriate amount of material. The discoloration of the tip shows that it has been saturated with adhesive.
  • Even the fill-level of the VivaPen can now be visually checked. As a result, the user has consistent control over the availability of material.
• Direction to Use
• Direct restorations
  • Step 1: A dry operating field must be ensured. Ideally, a rubber dam should be placed (e.g. OptraDam Plus).
  • Step 2: In very deep cavities, areas close to the pulp should be selectively coated with a calcium hydroxide liner (e.g. ApexCal) and subsequently covered with a pressure-resistant cement (glass ionomer cement, e.g. Vivaglass Liner).
  • Step 3: Apply phosphoric acid gel (e.g. Total Etch) to the prepared enamel and then flow the etchant onto the prepared dentin. The etchant should be left to react on the enamel for 15–30 seconds and on the dentin for 10–15 seconds. Following this, remove all etchant gel with a vigorous water spray for at least 5 seconds. Excess moisture should be removed leaving the dentin surface with a glossy wet appearance (wet bonding). This can be done with either an air gun, a dry brush, a foam pellet or other lint-free absorbents. Do not overdry the dentin.
  • Step 4: Use of the different delivery forms ExciTE F is available in bottles, the VivaPen and Soft Touch SingleDose vessels.

  VivaPen delivery form

  • Remove the cap of the VivaPen by turning it beyond the point of resistance and simultaneously pulling it off.
  • Snap on the VivaPen brush cannula. The brush cannula can be rotated up to approx. 270 degrees to the desired position.

  Attention: Do not rotate the cannula beyond the point of resistance; otherwise it will detach.

  • Activate the click mechanism several times to saturate the VivaPen brush cannula with ExciTE F. The yellow colour of ExciTE F becomes visible once the brush cannula is saturated.

  Soft Touch Single-Dose vessel with pre-mounted applicator brush

  • Place the Single-Dose vessel on a firm surface.
  • Press the pre-mounted applicator brush into the Single-Dose vessel until a noticeable resistance is overcome.

  Step 6: Disperse ExciTE F to a thin layer with a weak stream of air, thereby removing any excess. Pooling should be avoided. A uniform, glossy appearance shows that the tooth surface is completely sealed. Step 8: Apply the restorative material (e.g. Tetric EvoFlow® or Tetric EvoCeram®) according to the instructions of the manufacturer.Indirect restorationsStep 2: Prepare the tooth surfaces according to the procedure indicated for direct restorations, step 1–7. Important note: Avoid pooling, as this can compromise the accuracy of fit of the definitive restoration.

• Step 3: Following this, seat the restoration using a light-/ dual-curing luting material (e.g. Variolink II) and light-cure according to the instruction of the manufacturer
• Step 1: Prepare the surfaces of the composite or ceramic restoration according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
• Step 9: VivaPen: Discard the used VivaPen brush cannula after disinfecting the VivaPen with disinfectant wipes and replace it with the original cap. The VivaPen brush cannula is removed by turning it beyond the point of resistance and simultaneously pulling it off. A new VivaPen brush cannula must be attached for every application.
• Step 7: Light-cure ExciTE F for 10 seconds at a light intensity of more than 500 mW/cm2 (with e.g. Bluephase® using the LOP mode).
• Step 5: Saturate enamel and dentin with a generous amount of ExciTE F and agitate the adhesive on the prepared surfaces for at least 10 seconds. Make sure that all the cavity walls are completely covered.
