Ivoclar Vivadent Heliomolar Flow - Manual (Page 2)

– Splinting of mobile teeth
– As the first layer of Class I or II restorations
– As the last layer applied on a viscous composite material
Contraindication
Heliomolar Flow restorations are contraindicated
– if a dry operating field cannot be established, or if the
stipulated application technique cannot be used;
– if the patient is known to be allergic to any of the
ingredients in Heliomolar Flow.
Side effects
In rare cases, components of Heliomolar Flow may cause a
sensitizing reaction in patients with a hypersensitivity to
any of its ingredients. In these cases, Heliomolar Flow
should no longer be used.
Interaction
– Eugenol may hamper the polymerization of Heliomolar
Flow. Therefore, cements containing zinc oxide eugenol
must not be used in combination with Heliomolar Flow.
– Cationic mouthwashes, plaque disclosing agents and
chlorhexidine may cause discolouration.
Application procedure
1. Shade selection
Clean the teeth prior to shade selection. The teeth should
be slightly moist for shade selection.
2. Isolation
Provide adequate isolation, best with a rubber dam (e.g.
OptraDam
® Plus).
3. Cavity preparation
Prepare the cavity according to the principles of the
adhesive technique, i.e. preserving the tooth structure. Do
not prepare sharp internal edges or additional undercuts in
areas free of caries. The dimensions of the cavity depend on
the extent of the caries and/or the old restoration.
Where indicated, the enamel margins can be bevelled.
Caries-free cervical defects do not require preparation.
Merely clean with pumice and a suitable cleaning paste,
using a rubber cup or rotary brush. Next, remove all residue
with a water spray.
4. Pulp protection
If an enamel-dentin bonding agent is used, a base/liner is
generally not required. In very deep cavities, cover the areas
close to the pulp with a calcium hydroxide material.
5. Matrix (e.g. OptraMatrix ® )/interdental wedge
6. Conditioning / Application of the bonding agent
Condition and apply the bonding agent according to the
Instructions for Use of the product in use. We recommend
using Syntac
® or ExciTE ® F (with phosphoric acid etching)
or AdheSE ® or AdheSE ® One F self etching adhesive.
7. Application of Heliomolar Flow
Apply Heliomolar Flow in layers of max. 2 mm and adapt
with a suitable instrument. Light-cure each layer with a
polymerization light (e.g. bluephase
® , bluephase ® 20i) for
40 seconds. Hold the light emission window of the curing
light as close to the restorative as possible.
Important: Heliomolar Flow should have room
temperature for application. This ensures a smooth
consistency. Do not expose Heliomolar Flow to intensive
light during application, since exposure to light reduces the
working time.
8. Finishing/Polishing
Remove excess material with suitable finishers (e.g. Astro-
pol F) or fine diamonds after polymerization. Remove
proximal excess with diamond or tungsten carbide finishers
or finishing strips. Check occlusion and articulation and
apply appropriate grinding corrections to prevent
premature contacts or undesired articulation paths on the
surface of the restorations. Use silicone polishers (e.g.
Astropol
® P/Astropol HP, Astrobrush ® ), polishing discs, and
polishing strips to polish the restorations to a durable high
gloss.
