VivaPen delivery form
– Remove the cap of the VivaPen by turning it beyond the point of

resistance and simultaneously pulling it off.

– Snap on the VivaPen brush cannula. The brush cannula

can be rotated up to approx. 270 degrees to the desired
position.
Attention: Do not rotate the cannula beyond the point
of resistance; otherwise it will detach!

– Activate the click mechanism several times to saturate the VivaPen

brush cannula with ExciTE F. The yellow colour of ExciTE F becomes
visible once the brush cannula is saturated.

Soft Touch Single-Dose vessel with pre-mounted applicator brush
Activate the Soft Touch Single-Dose vessel to prepare it for use as follows:
– Place the Single-Dose vessel on a firm surface.
– Press the pre-mounted applicator brush into the Single-Dose vessel

until a noticeable resistance is overcome.

5. Saturate enamel and dentin with a generous amount of ExciTE F and

agitate the adhesive on the prepared surfaces for at least 10 seconds.
Make sure that all the cavity walls are completely covered.

6. Disperse ExciTE F to a thin layer with a weak stream of air, thereby

removing any excess. Pooling should be avoided. A uniform, glossy
appearance shows that the tooth surface is completely sealed.

7. Light-cure ExciTE F for 10 seconds at a light intensity of more than

500 mW/cm

2

(with e.g. Bluephase

®

using the LOP mode).

8. Apply the restorative material (e.g. Tetric EvoFlow

®

or Tetric EvoCeram

®

)

according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

9. VivaPen: Discard the used VivaPen brush cannula after disinfecting the

VivaPen with disinfectant wipes and replace it with the original cap. The
VivaPen brush cannula is removed by turning it beyond the point of
resistance and simultaneously pulling it off. A new VivaPen brush cannula
must be attached for every application.

Indirect restorations
1. Prepare the surfaces of the composite or ceramic restoration according to

the instructions of the manufacturer.

2. Prepare the tooth surfaces according to the procedure indicated for direct

restorations, step 1–7.
Important note: Avoid pooling, as this can compromise the accuracy of
fit of the definitive restoration.

3. Following this, seat the restoration using a light-/ dual-curing luting

material (e.g. Variolink

®

II) and light-cure according to the instruction of

the manufacturer.

Note

After each use, the VivaPen must be disinfected using disinfectant wipes
for hygienic reasons. Additionally, the VivaPen can be protected against
contamination with the VivaPen sleeve.

Do not use oxidizing disinfectants.

Do not immerse the VivaPen in disinfectant solutions.

Do not use other types of brush cannulas.

The fill-level indicator of the VivaPen identifies the remaining amount of
adhesive: If the white indicator is no longer visible on the display, the
VivaPen is empty.

Warnings

ExciTE F is an irritant. Contact with the skin, mucous membrane or eyes
should be avoided. In case of skin contact, immediately wash with
copious amounts of water.

If the material should come into contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a
physician or ophthalmologist.

In rare cases, contact with the skin may cause sensitization to the
ingredients.

Commercial medical gloves do not provide protection against the
sensitizing effects of methacrylates.
