Why Deep Margin Elevation?

Deep margin elevation will make the impression easier by moving the proximal argin of the restoration supra-gingivally, whic is especially important for intra-oral scanning. It helps in avoiding periodontal surgical procedures.

Tips and Tricks

  • Isolation with rubber dam is highly recommended.
  • For a better emergence profile, use Teflon tape in the space between the matric and the adjacent tooth instead of a wedge. Do not use the same matrix as you use for creating a contact point in direct restorations.
  • Selective etching of the enamel is recommended.
  • Use XBW shade of G-ænial™ Universal Injectable for easy differentiation between the tooth, composite material and the restoration.
  • The height of the new margin should be slightly above the gingival margin (1mm).

Use of a New Universal Flowable Composite

Use of a New Universal Flowable Composite
What are the most important properties of a flowable composite used for the flowable injection technique? Personal experience shows that balanced optical properties are essential, with an appropriate translucency, blend-in ability and surface gloss leading the way. However, the mechanical properties are also important, not least because the restorative material will be in direct contact with the antagonist teeth. And finally, handling properties are essential: The right level of flowability is needed for proper injection, while a void-free application is required for an intact, stainresistant surface.

Irradiance vs. Power: Curing Light Performance

Irradiance vs. Power: Curing Light Performance

As curing light technology improves, dentists are consistently sold on irradiance (mw per cm2) as being the defining factor in beam effectiveness. While there is no doubt irradiance adds value, it does not tell the full story of how well a light will cure various materials. Irradiance tests typically only show the irradiance of a very small portion of the light. Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
