Ivoclar Liquid Strip Refill 1 x 2.5gm

FEATURES:

• • To prevent the oxygen-inhibited layer of composites
  • In composite or ceramic restorations
  • Try-in paste
  • Protects the etching pattern of lab-fabricated all-ceramic restorations

  Description

  Glycerine gel to prevent the oxygen-inhibited layer of composites with composite or ceramic restorations.

  Indications

  • 1. Try-in paste: Try-in for composite and ceramic restorations

  The glycerine gel can be used to fill the cement gap during the try-in and thus simulate the influence of the bonding composite on shading. This permits realistic evaluation of the restoration’s shading. For an even more accurate simulation of the Variolink®II luting composite system, shaded glycerine pastes (Variolink II Try-In pastes) are also available.

  • 2. Prevention of oxygen inhibition during polymerization

  Composites are subject to oxygen inhibition, i.e. the surface layer of the composite that is not covered with a matrix and comes in contact with oxygen during polymerization is not polymerized (approx. 50 µm). If this layer is covered with Liquid Strip and thus protected from oxygen, the composite is thoroughly polymerized.

  Direction to Use

  Step 1: Try-in of composite and ceramic restorations

  • Application of Liquid Strip on cavity or restoration
  • Try-in, evaluation of shade and fit
  • Removal of the restoration from the cavity
  • Rinsing off Liquid Strip with water and drying with blower
  • Cleansing the restoration with 37 % phosphoric acid (e.g. Total Etch)
  • Thoroughly rinsing off phosphoric acid and drying with blower
  • Further procedure according to information of the luting composite manufacturer

  Step 2: Prevention of oxygen inhibiton with composites

  a) Inlay/Onlay luting

  • Placement of ceramic or composite restoration with a luting composite (e.g. Variolink II)
  • Removal of excess composite
  • Application of Liquid Strip on restoration margins
  • Light-curing of the luting composite through Liquid Strip
  • Rinsing off Liquid Strip with water
  • Finishing/polishing of the restoration

  b) Freely built-up composite restorations

  • Build-up of restoration
  • Covering restoration surface with Liquid Strip
  • Light-curing of the composite through Liquid Strip
  • Rinsing off Liquid Strip with water
  • Finishing/polishing of the restoration
