Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa No. 1, 2018

18 RESTORATIVE Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 1/2018 Introducing the fi rst CLASS II SOLUTION™ For successful Restorative Outcomes. By Dentsply Sirona Class II restorations are more important to your practice that you may think – almost 70% of annual dental patients receive direct restorations, nearly 50% of direct restorations placed are Class IIs¹. Getting them right the fi rst time is the key to happy patients and and practice profi tability. The new Class II Solution™ by Dentsply Sirona is the only comprehensive Class II approach for more effi cient clinical outcomes and bottom-line results. Many clinicians have developed the habit of assembling their own Class II system using an assortment of prod- ucts and materials from different manufacturers. While this approach can play out successfully, it can also lead to unpredictable outcomes. By establishing an all-encompassing direct restoration system, dental professionals can confi dently con- trol every step of the process while rendering precise, predictable results each and every time.2 Dentsply Sirona is offering the com- plete Class II Solution™ - a portfolio of products designed to work to- gether to deliver success at the most AD vulnerable interface (the fl oor of the proximal box) – and achieve great aesthetic results. Dentists face a variety of challenges in every step of a Class II restoration procedure. From matrix system to bulk fi ll fl owable to universal com- posite, Dentsply Sirona provides the only complete solution with unmatched adaptation at each criti- cal step of a Class II restoration. See how our Class II Solution™ helps you better manage restorative per- formance and give your patient an improved Class II experience. References 1.

Choose a matrix system that not only provides anatomically ac- curate contacts, but also helps create a tight seal around the restorative fi eld. The Palodent® V3 matrix system is de- signed to create predictable, accurate con- tacts, a tight gingival seal, and can be con- fi gured for multiple restorations at once. report using a 82% of dentists fl owable as a liner in Class II restorations to increase marginal adaptation.5 If a restorative material doesn’t take the form of the cavity prep, gaps may occur. This may lead to post-op sensitivity, microleakage or recurrent decay. can be placed in increments of SDR® Plus can be placed in increments of bulk fi ll up to 4mm, and has self-leveling properties for excellent cavity adaptation, which is essential for delivering a complete seal at the most vulnerable interface. Research shows that on average, 10-15% of posterior composites result in post-operative sensitivity.4 The strongest bond is to etched enamel, but over-etching dentin is a leading cause of post-operative sensitivity. Us- ing a universal adhesive with a selective-etch technique al- lows a durable enamel bond, while minimising the prob- ability of sensitivity that can result from etching deep dentin. The unique chemistry of Prime&Bond universal™ adhesive with Active-Guard™ Technology provides high bond strengths with virtually no post-operative sensitivity thanks to its low fi lm thickness.
