PRODUCTS DETAILS
Alpha-Dent® Light Cure Composite restorative is radiopaque. It has the versatility of the Hybrid composite while measuring high compressive strength with excellent polishability. The composite is appropriate for almost every type of restoration. The material is available with the Exact Match System, which uses a specially designed computer program to match the composite color and translucency to the VITA® shade guide.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Prepare the tooth. Isolate and dry the tooth thoroughly.
2. If using Alpha-dent® etchant or Alpha-Etch37® 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.
4. If using Alpha-dent® Light Cure Bonding Adhesive, thoroughly dry the etched tooth. Dispense two drops of Alpha-dent® Light Cure Bonding Adhesive onto a dispensing pad or other suitable surface. Thoroughly saturate a brush tip and generously apply a uniform layer onto the prepared tooth. Light cure the bonding adhesive by applying a dental halogen light for 15-20 seconds. The surface should appear glossy. If not, repeat application.
5. Select the appropriate shade of Alpha-dent® Light Cure Composite. Apply the composite directly onto the prepared tooth in increments no larger than 2 mm thickness.
6. Using a visible light-curing unit, with a minimum output of 600mW/cm’, cure each incremental layer for at least 20 seconds.
7. Finish and polish using standard techniques. A composite surface sealant can also be used to improve surface smoothness and seal micro cracks and surface imperfections caused by the finishing procedures.
