Join Dr. Corky Wilhite as he provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to building the lingual layer for composite bonding using a template (putty index or matrix). In this detailed tutorial, you’ll learn everything you need to know about using Renamel Microhybrid composite to create a precise and natural-looking restoration. Follow along as Dr. Wilhite breaks down each stage of the process—from template preparation to the final cure. Below are the key steps covered in the video:
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
1. Preparing and Trimming the Template
• Dr. Wilhite explains the importance of trimming the template precisely to ensure that the facial incisal line is properly aligned. Learn why trimming the template carefully helps to avoid excess material, which can lead to air bubbles or an improperly formed incisal edge.
2. Fitting and Marking the Lingual Margin
• Before loading the composite, Dr. Wilhite demonstrates how to fit the trimmed template in the mouth. He also shows how to gently score the lingual margin to guide the placement of the composite for better control and accuracy.
3. Loading the Template with Composite
• Using Renamel Microhybrid composite, Dr. Wilhite highlights the importance of slowly extruding the material into the template to avoid lumps or air bubbles. He also shares tips on evenly distributing the composite for multiple teeth restorations.
4. Adapting the Composite to the Tooth
• Learn how to use a multi-use instrument to smooth the composite and ensure proper adaptation to the lingual surface of the tooth. This step is crucial to avoiding large ledges or air pockets, which could compromise the bond.
5. Seating the Template
• Dr. Wilhite demonstrates how to carefully seat the template, making sure the lingual margin is properly positioned. He also shows how to make adjustments before fully seating to avoid any misalignments.
6. Thinning and Refining the Composite Layer
• Discover how to thin the composite layer to the proper thickness. Dr. Wilhite shares expert advice on creating a durable, yet thin layer that leaves enough room for the final facial enamel layer. He also covers why it’s essential to eliminate excess material from the proximal areas for a cleaner result.
7. Curing the Composite
• Dr. Wilhite offers tips on the correct curing process, especially when curing through the tooth. He explains how doubling the curing time ensures a complete set of the material. Also, learn how to blend any uncured areas for a smooth, uniform finish.
8. Final Touches and Cross-Section Shape
• In the final stage, Dr. Wilhite discusses how the composite should resemble the shape of the letter "L" in cross-section, providing plenty of room for the incisal translucency, color blending, and other finishing touches needed to create a natural look.
