Bonding Resin
Bonding to enamel
Tooth Preparation
- Bevel enamel surfaces using a diamond bur or clean using an abrasive paste such as pumice powder and water.
NOTE: Do not use an oil-based paste - Remove loose preparation debris by spraying with water.
- Gently air-dry using 2-3 bursts of oil/water-free air or cotton pellets.
Application
- Apply 37% phosphoric acid etching gel (e.g. SDI Super Etch) to enamel and leave for 30 seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with water/oil free air or with cotton pellets. Ensure etched enamel is completely dry.
- Dispense one or two drops (depending on restoration size) of Bonding Resin into a mixing well. Immediately replace the cap.
- Apply a thin layer of Bonding Resin to the previously etched enamel surface. Use a light stream of dry, oil-free air to aid the resin flow.
- Light cure for 20 seconds (460-480nm wavelength, high power LED curing light such as Radii Plus, (SDI Limited)).
- Place composite such as Aura, Aura Easy or Aura Bulk Fill (SDI Limited) according to manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Bonding layer for the repair of composite
- Roughen any existing smooth composite resin surface.
- Dispense one or two drops (depending on restoration size) of Bonding Resin into a mixing well. Immediately replace the cap.
- Apply a thin layer of Bonding Resin. Use a light stream of dry, oil-free air to aid the resin flow.
- Light cure for 20 seconds (460-480nm wavelength, high power LED curing light such as Radii Plus SDI Limited).
- Place composite such as Aura, Aura Easy or Aura Bulk Fill (SDI Limited) according to manufacturer’s instructions for use.
