BEST SETTING: 54 DEGREES
MULTIPLE DESIGNS FOR COMPULES OR SYRINGES; SYRINGE IS MOST
VERSATILE MODEL
DECREASES CURE TIME BY UP TO 75%
INCREASES PHOTOCONVERSION, HARDNESS

DARK SHADES AND FLOWABLES!! TAKE LONGER
SOME VERY LIGHT SHADES MAY ALSO TAKE LONGER DUE TO MISMATCH BETWEEN LIGHT

THE IMPORTANCE OF FLEXURAL STRENGTH





THOSE PORTIONS OF THE RESTORATION EXTENDING BEYOND THE ROOT BASE MUST
TRANSFER LOADS ON A DIAGONAL PATH TO THE RETORATION
THIS CREATES A TWISTING SHEAR FORCE WITHIN THE RESIN; A “ FLEXURAL LOAD”
BEST PARAMETER TO INDICATE THIS QUALITY IS FLEXURAL STRENGTH
INADEQUATE FLEXURAL STRENGTH WILL LEAD TO BREAKAGE OF MARGINAL RIDGES
EVEN IF EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE RESTOATIVE SUITE IS PERFECT
SEE WEBSITE FOR TABLE “COMPOSITE PARAMETER SPREADSHEET”

BEST RESINS FOR LARGE RESTORATIONS:

VENUS DIAMOND (HEREAUS KULZER)169MPa
FILTEK SUPREME ULTRA (3M Espe) 162MPa

RESIDUAL CARIES, BIOFILM CONTAMINATION




CARIES IS A NON-STRUCTURAL SUBSTRATE; DOESN’T BOND, HAS NO
RESISTANCE FORM
BIOFILM IS AN INVISIBLE ANDUNIVERALLY PRESENT CONTAMINANT TO
ADHESION
BOTH CONTRIBUTE TO PREMATURE FAILURE OF RESINS
CAN BE CONTROLLED WITH THE ROUTINE USE OF CARIES DETECTOR
