ADHESIVE SYSTEMS:
37% Phosphoric Acid + Primer + Adhesive
Single bottle stickers: phosphoric acid separated/ primer + adhesive in
same bottle
Self-conditioning adhesives: acidified primer + adhesive. It is eliminated
37% phosphoric acid.
The primer has a hydrophilic radical (affinity for dentin) and a
hydrophobic (affinity with the adhesive). It is a bipolar molecule. It may contain
a solvent (alcohol, acetone or ether). It removes the excess moisture from
dentin
The adhesive penetrates the dentin forming the 'tags' (in the tubules) and layers.
hybrid
HYBRID LAYER: intertwining of the adhesive in the collagen fibers of
demineralized dentin.
CLASS III: proximal of anterior teeth without involvement of the angle
incisal.
OPERATION SEQUENCE:
Anesthesia and prophylaxis
2. Color selection (without isolation, natural light, wet teeth)
3. Opening and outline: Spherical diamond tip. Protect neighboring tooth.
Preferably enter through the language. When there is direct access, enter.
by proximal. When the cavity invades the vestibular, enter through the vestibular.
4. Absolute isolation (pre-a-pre)
5. Removal of carious tissue (spherical, low rotation, curettes)
6. Bevel when invading the vestibular (aesthetic)
7. Cleaning of the cavity and pulp protection
8. Placement of the polyester matrix and wedge
9. Acid conditioning (30 sec enamel and 15 sec dentin)
10. Wash and dry
11. Application of primer + adhesive layers. Photopolymerization for 20
seconds
12. Insertion of composite resin increments. Photopolymerization by
40 seconds
13. Removal of isolation. Finishing
Polishing
CLASS IV: Proximal of anterior teeth with involvement of the incisal angle
Often related to fracture. Does not require opening and
contour. Bevel at the convex surface of the vestibular angle
CLASS V: Cervical third of the buccal and lingual surfaces of all teeth
Opening with spherical diamond tip or carbide 245.
Bevel (do not bevel the gingival wall)
