veneer AR09 Direct Composite Template System

Specifications

• Product: Uveneer Composite Templates
• Autoclavable: Only the templates are autoclavable, not the black base and transparent lids.

Description

Techniques for both Uveneer and Uveneer E x tra composite templates, which:

• create predictable composite veneers
• create reproducible mock-ups
• build quick and easy Provisionals
• work with any preferred composite
• are autoclavable*

Instructions for use

1. Select the Uveneer™ template that corresponds with the tooth being restored. See handle of template for corresponding tooth position, size, and arch. Choose preferred composite shade(s).
2. Remove all caries if needed and minimally prepare the tooth.
3. Place interproximal separating matrices and apply Ultra-Etch™ etchant for 15 seconds, Peak™ SE Primer for 20 seconds, or preferred etchant.
4. Rinse etchant and air dry according to manufacturer’s instructions. Ultra-Etch etchant should be rinsed and left moist prior to applying Peak Universal Bond adhesive. If using Peak SE Primer, apply primer and air thin.
   Do not rinse primer.
   
5. Apply Peak™ Universal Bond adhesive with a brushing motion for 10 seconds, then air thin for 10 seconds with suction. Or, apply preferred adhesive according to manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Light cure with VALO™ curing light 10 seconds on Standard Power. If using other curing light, cure according to manufacturer’s instructions.
7. If using a single shade technique, apply preferred composite directly onto tooth. Do not light cure composite.
   • If using a layering technique, place deepest composite layer directly onto the tooth and superficial composite layers into the template. Do not light cure composite.
8. Place selected template over uncured composite. Align centerline of template parallel to the midline of the face and perpendicular to the incisal plane. Using thumb, press the concave side of the template onto the tooth. Press firmly to remove any trapped air.
9. Remove any excess uncured composite from the periphery. Verify template alignment.
10. Using VALO™ curing light, cure composite through template. For every 2 mm layer, cure 10 seconds on Standard Power, 4 seconds on High Power, or 3 seconds on Xtra Power. If using other curing light, cure according to manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Remove the Uveneer™ template by gently lifting the handle.
    • Final cure composite directly with the VALO curing light. Cure 10 seconds on Standard Power, 4 seconds on High Power, or 3 seconds on Xtra Power. If using other curing light, cure according to manufacturer’s instructions.
12. Avoiding the glossy facial surface, trim bulk of cured composite from periphery with a fine flame-shaped bur. Use a blade for anything next to the margin to avoid altering the margin of the permanent restoration. Use Jiffy™ Composite Polishers, Brushes, Diamond Strips, or Proximal Saws for minimal finishing and adjusting if desired.
13. Immediately after use, thoroughly wipe template with an alcohol pad and then dry, bag, and autoclave according to Uveneer template IFU. Do not leave any composite residue on the template in order to maintain translucency and shine.
    Do not autoclave the black base.

DIRECT COMPOSITE

1. After preparing tooth, select the Uveneer™ template that corresponds with the tooth being restored. See handle of template for corresponding tooth position, size, and arch. Choose preferred composite shade(s).
2. Load composite into Uveneer template.
3. Align centerline of template parallel to the midline of the face and perpendicular to the incisal plane. Using thumb, press the concave side of the template onto the tooth. Press firmly to remove any trapped air.

5. Pop off composite provisional with composite instrument.
6. Trim, contour, and polish the provisional as needed.
7. Clean preparation with Consepsis™ Scrub slurry and the STARbrush™ intercoronal brush to remove any proteins or ferric sulfate that could cause dark pigmentation to show through. Rinse and dry preparation. Keep area moist, do not desiccate. Etch 2–3 seconds if hemostatic were used.
8. Express enough ClearTemp™ LC temporary veneer cement to coat the inside surface of the provisional. Seat provisional and tack cure for 3 seconds on Standard Power with VALO™ curing light and PointCure accessory lens.
9. Remove any excess cement from the periphery. Verify provisional placement.
10. Using VALO curing light, cure ClearTemp™ LC temporary cement for 10 seconds on Standard Power. If using other curing light, cure according to manufacturer’s instructions.
