Question 8

isolation requirement

Answer 8

Must isolate in such a way that proximal surfaces of adjacent teeth are exposed
Isolation must allow unobstructed seating of restoration
Isolation must not interfere with removal of excess bonding resin

Question 9

Bonding appt procedure

Answer 9

Anesthetize if tooth is vital
Isolate with cotton rolls &/or absorbent cards
Remove temporary
Clean excess temporary material &/or bonding agent from tooth with hand scaler
Gently scrub prepared tooth with flour of pumice in polishing cup
Thoroughly rinse prepared tooth & adjacent teeth
Replace cotton roll &/or absorbent card
Dry prepared tooth and adjacent teeth
Mark occlusal contacts on adjacent teeth in MI

Place restoration on prepared tooth
Check proximal contacts (Assistant holds while you check with floss.)
Check margins
Check occlusion with contrasting color of articulating ribbon or paper – Light touch only, NO heavy closing or grinding at this point! Evaluate only MI, as un-bonded restoration will tip and move on prepared tooth in excursive movements.
Adjust as necessary
Decide shade of esthetic resin cement (either Variolink or Calibra) you would like to use and set aside (DO NOT dispense yet!) – Use in dual cure mode (mix base + catalyst)
