INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Prepare the tooth.
Isolate and dry the tooth thoroughly
2. If using Alpha-dent etchant or Alpha-Etch 37 etch enamel for 15 seconds or if applied to dentin etch for 10 seconds; never leave etchant on tooth for more than 60 seconds. Lightly agitating the etchant during its application can enhance its action.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry tooth completely. The dry etched surface should appear dull and frosty white. If the surface to be etched does not, then repeat step 2.
4. If using Alpha-dent® catalyst and base bonding adhesives, dispense equal amounts, one or two drops each of Alpha-dent® catalyst and base onto a mixing pad or other suitable surface.
Mix thoroughly for 5 to 10 seconds. Thoroughly saturate a brush tip and generously apply a uniform layer onto the etched tooth.
Alpha-dent® Self Cure Bonding Adhesive will begin to harden within 30 seconds from the start of mixing.
After 45 seconds, placement of the Alpha-dent® Self
Cure Composite Restorative Material can be placed over the self cure bonding adhesive without waiting for the bonding adhesive to set completely.
Complete setting of Alpha-dent® Self Cure Bonding Adhesive will occur in 90 seconds from the start of mixing.
5. Avoiding cross contamination of jars, place equal amounts of the base and catalyst paste onto the mixing pad. Spatulate the base and catalyst pastes for 20 seconds to assure a uniform mix.
6. Using slight excess of mixed composite, place into cavity using a non-metallic instrument.
The composite material will begin to harden 2 minutes from the
beginning of the mixing time.
The composite material will set during the next 30
seconds (net setting time) and should not be disturbed during this period.
Allow an additional 60 seconds for complete hardening.
7. Finishing and polishing procedures may begin 5 minutes from the beginning of mixing.
Finish and shape by using diamond, carborundum stone, or carbide burs
at conventional speeds.
Alpha-Glaze® surface sealant can be used to seal
microcracks and/or surface imperfections caused by the finishing procedures.
