CEMENTATION
SpeedCEM® Plus SpeedCEM® Plus is a self-adhesive, selfcuring resin cement with optionallightcuring. This cement offers an ideal combination of performance anduser-friendliness. Its formulation has been optimized to make it particularlysuitable for use in conjunction with restorations made of zirconium oxide andmetal-ceramics and for the cementation of restorations on implant abutments.
Not every restoration can be completely and evenly cured with light. Strong self-curing capabilities offer an additional measure of reliability when seating opaque or nontranslucent restorations.
User-friendly application
Easy clean-upFast removal of excess is one of the distinguishing features of SpeedCEM Plus. Given the optional light-curing activation, excess material can be tack-cured and then removed in large pieces using a scaler.
Tolerant processingSpeedCEM Plus permits flexible use in different situations. It produces a reliable bond on moist and dry dentin - both when used in the selfcuring mode and when used in the light-curing mode.
RadiopacityWith its especially high radiopacity, the resin cement is easy to distinguish from the dentin and enamel. This facilitates the differentiation between residual cement excess and secondary caries on future patient X-rays.
Variolink® Esthetic
Multilink® Automix
Variolink® Esthetic is based on the aesthetic luting composites Variolink® II and Variolink® Veneer, which have proven their worth in clinical use for many years.
Variolink® Esthetic demonstrates exceptional shade stability. This is made possible by the patented, reactive light initiator Ivocerin®, which is 100 % free of amine-based co-initiators. Variolink® Esthetic forms the basis for long-lasting and reliable aesthetic results. Even if exposed to intensive light or a humid environment, Variolink® Esthetic is not subject to visible shade changes.

ARTICLE
Proven aesthetics: six years ofsuccess with IPS Empress DirectAfter having successfully used the nano-hybrid composite IPS Empress Direct in clinical practice for six years, the author draws a balance. The teeth of the first patient he restored with this material are still in an excellent condition. Based on this first patient case with IPS Empress Direct – a new product at the time – the author explains how he successfully uses the material in direct restorative procedures.
Figs 1a and b: Preoperative situation: Defective amalgam and composite fillings in the upper and lower arch.
Case report
The author describes the restoration of an entire fourth quadrant, involving IPS Empress Direct as the restorative material. At the time, the rehabilitation comprised both dental arches. The patient requested the treatment because of his postoperative sensitivity. Moreover, the existing restorations were defective and aesthetically unpleasing (Figs 1a and b). The proximal contact surface between tooth 46 and tooth 47 seemed to be incorrectly shaped, as after each meal, food particles got trapped in the interdental space. Moreover, there were no occlusal contacts, and a functional occlusal surface was not present.
A rubber dam was placed in the area of the quadrant in question to create a completely dry treatment field (Fig. 2). The rubberdam technique results in an ideal treatment field. Excellent visibility is ensured and any unintended swallowing of materials by the patient is prevented. The old fillings were removed and the underlying carious tissue was excavated using a round bur.
Subsequently, the cavities were finished with fine-grit diamond grinders and diamond-coated tips in an ultrasonic handpiece. In general, care should be taken to provide the cavities with an appropriate shape. The aim is to maintain as much contact enamel and underlying supportive dentin as possible. The cavity should
feature a continuous outer boundary line (Fig. 3).
Fig 2: Rubber dam placement to isolate the treatment field.
Fig 3: After the old filling and the carious tissue had been removed, the cavity was prepared according to the principles of the adhesive technique.
Conditioning
A multiple-step total-etch adhesive (SyntacR) was used as the bonding agent. The author had already used this bonding agent for nearly 15 years at the time. Three positive outcomes underscore the clinical strength of this adhesive: i) There was no postoperative sensitivity, ii) the restorations demonstrated optimum adhesion to the underlying tooth structure and iii) they showed exceptional marginal integrity. When the total-etch technique is used, the enamel and dentin surfaces are etched for different lengths of time (enamel = 30 seconds, dentin = 15 seconds) (Fig. 4). After the etching process, Syntac Primer was slightly rubbed into the tooth structure, left to react for 20 seconds and then carefully dispersed with air until complete evaporation. The same procedure was repeated with Syntac Adhesive. The subsequently applied bonding agent (Heliobond) should remain on the etched tooth surface for at least 10 seconds. Only in this way can the material completely

penetrate the collagen fibres and the partly demineralized dentin layer. After the bonding agent had taken effect, the material was carefully removed by suction and dispersed with air. After curing, the dentin surface should have a slightly glossy appearance. This shows that the adhesive has penetrated thoroughly and there are no areas with an unduly thick coating of adhesive.

Filling
In an initial step, flowable composite (Tetric EvoFlowR) was applied to the entire dentin surface in a layer of approx. 0.5 mm thickness and to the enamel in a thin layer. The composite material was cured twice for 10 seconds using a curing light with a light intensity of at least 1000 mW/cm2. Subsequently, the restoration was built up using the sculptable IPS Empress Direct. The objective was to turn the class II cavity into a class I cavity. This required the proximal cavity walls to be reconstructed (Figs 6 and 7). Unlike matrix bands, sectional matrices enable the composite build-up to be given the convex shape typical of proximal surfaces.
As far as matrix systems were concerned, we had to completely rethink our way of using them. In amalgam fillings, matrices served the purpose of keeping the material in place during condensing. They also prevented the amalgam from slipping into the interdental spaces, which may result in damage to the soft tissue. By contrast, the application of composites may be compared to the injection moulding procedure employed in the manufacture of plastics. In order to achieve a smooth, shiny surface, the soft plastic is injected into a metal mould. The resulting product normally does not require any further finishing. The sectional matrices used in the case presented here serve a similar purpose as the metal moulds: They define the final shape when the proximal walls are reconstructed. IPS Empress Direct enamel material was adapted appropriately and then light-cured. Due to the smooth surface, hardly any finishing was required.
Fig 5: After lining the cavity with Tetric EvoFlow (to create an even cavity floor), sectional matrices were placed.
Fig 6: IPS Empress Direct Dentin was used to successively rebuild the cusp slopes.

Conclusion
By consistently adhering to the protocol shown, even complex direct restorations can be fabricated in a fairly uncomplicated manner. In the case presented, the three basic criteria for a satisfactory outcome could be met: appropriate shade, shape and function. Even six years after the treatment, the patient’s restorations are still intact and aesthetically pleasing.
The cavity was filled up with a series of first horizontal and then oblique layers of IPS Empress Direct Dentin. As a basis for the occlusal surface topography, triangular cusp slopes were shaped (Fig. 8).
The occlusal surface was completed with oblique layers of IPS Empress Direct Enamel (Fig. 9). After the matrices had been removed, the occlusal surfaces were moulded according to gnathological principles. The occlusion was verified and any premature contacts eliminated. Finishing of the occlusal surface was performed with tungsten carbide grinding instruments (H390F, Komet). Only few fine finishing and polishing steps were required. Finishing was achieved with a three-step polishing system (AstropolR) (Fig. 10). For the
finishing of convex areas, we recommend using single-bladed grinding discs with decreasing grit-size (OptiDiscR, Kerr-Hawe).
