57 Light Polymerization and Curing Lights

58 What Plays a Role in Effective Light Curing

59 Light Curing Shallow Prep + 10 seconds cure= WORKS

60 Light Curing But here it s all about depth We routinely rest the light source on the cusp, in this case it can be 8-10mm away from the cervical margin Far from light source, need to cure for additional time. Also pay attention to darker shades.light output of 1000+mW is desirable

61 Halogen Lights

62 Plasma Arc curing (PAC) lights

63 Caution: HEAT! Supplying high levels of energy to the restoration will also deliver energy to the pulp, increasing its temperature! This could contribute to pulpitis, post-operative sensitivity and even require root canal therapy

64 Light-emitting diode (LED) Curing lights

65 Curing Issues 1. There is no perfect way to test if composite is properly cured To you and me this means you can never OVER CURE 2. Curing light intensity decreases up to 68% between 2-9mm from the target To you an me this mean we need to get the light as close to the material as possible, especially in those class II boxes, also add incrementally 3. Light intensity falls off dramatically from the center to the edges, forming a BULLET-SHAPE curing pattern To you an me this means we need to move the curing light around larger restoration and cure from different angles and sides

66 Beam Collimation and Performance Over Distance Collimated Not Collimated

67 Beam Collimation and Performance Over Distance Collimated Not Collimated

68 Beam Profile The effective part of the light beam should be evenly distributed across the face of the light tip to maximize curing effectiveness

69 Most lights only deliver 35% of stated output to bottom of deep box BlueLight Analytics Inc., 2012

70 Effect of Light Angle on Curing Curing Light Tip undercured

71 Low head profile Long Rotatable tip Intraoral Access SmartLite Focus provides Excellent Intraoral Access Ease of maintaining proper angle 8.5 cm

72 Output (mw/cm 2 ) Light Performance over Distance Light energy delivered lessens as distance of the material from the light tip increases 2mm 6mm Irradiance Over Distance 7-10mm mm 8mm 9mm 10mm SmartLite Focus Radii Bluephase Style Demi Plus Valo (Std Mode) Elipar S10 SmartLite Focus loses LESS energy over distance, making it more effective at delivering energy at clinically relevant distances than many major competitors

73 Collimated beam Performance over distance Wide Spread/Uniform Beam Profile Simple Controls One Button/Rotating Head Long Lasting Battery

74 Shade Analysis and Communication

75 SHADE TAKING FACTS 1. 60% of remakes are blamed on poor color match 2. It takes 5 new crown cases to cover the cost of one remake 3. Improper color selection causes great frustration for the doctor, the laboratory and the patient, losing time and money for the dentist and laboratory.

76 Principles of Light

77

78 Shade Selection CLINICAL TIP: Determine the Shades Needed for the Restoration Prior to Tooth Preparation

79 Shade Selection A Desiccated Tooth Will Appear Lighter than Normal Select the Dentin Shade By Examining the Dentin

80 What is necessary to see color? Light Object to interact with the light energy

87 Dental Shade Guides 1. MOST CRUCIAL component for shade taking in Dentistry in VALUE 2. Second most crucial component for shade taking is TRANSLUCENCY 3. Third most crucial component for shade taking is CHROMA 4. LEAST CRUCIAL component for shade taking is HUE

91 RULES FOR TAKING shade 1. Patient sitting UPRIGHT at an EYE-EYE conversation distance 2. WELL-ILLUMINATED area preferably with color-corrected lighting or Ott-Lites (sold at Office-Max or Target) held 2 feet from patient 3. Take the shade before you start the procedure 4. Match VALUE first, then CHROMA, then HUE keeping in mind TRANSLUCENCY and its important for anteriors 5. Take a PHOTO Be sure to place the shade tab IN THE SAME PLANE as the teeth, incisal edge to incisal edge 6. Recharge your RODS and CONES by looking at an Neutral Gray or Light Blue 7. Lightly wet the teeth and the shade tabs with a clear liquid glaze prior to evaluation

104 Fixed Prosthodontic Landscape An average office performs 256 single unit crowns per year 256 x 150,000 general dentists = 38 million single unit crown procedures per year!

105 Function of Temps Maintain static contacts Calm state Maintain occlusion Trial OVD

106 Features of Provision Materials 1. Polymerization Choice Dual v. Auto 2. Air-inhibited layer 3. Fluorescence 4. Flaking when trimming Margin design 5. Fracture Strength Clearance 6. BPA free

107 Selecting the Provisional Material Methacrylates (poly) methyl (poly) ethyl Vinyl methyl Ethyl methyl Composites BIS-Acryl BIS-GMA Resins UDMA

108

109 Light Curing the Provisional Let the material set for 90 seconds in the mouth then remove and command set with 20 seconds of light curing

110 Types of Provisional Cements Resin-Based containing di-urethane di-methacrylate TNE (Temrex) Tempbond Clear (Kerr) Zinc Oxide Eugenol TempBond (Kerr) Zinc Oxide NonEugenol Temp Grip (Dentsply) Polycarboxylate Durelon (3M ESPE)

111 Value Added Clinical Benefits The amount of money it can cost a practice when a patient has to return to have the provisional re-cemented (in lost production, time, materials)

112 Integrity Temp Grip Technique Tips Bleed the syringe twice!

113 Integrity Temp Grip Technique Tips Do not desiccate the tooth before seating! Moist cementation reduces opportunity for sensitivity Barrier results in the cement staying on the provisional and not on the tooth Formula for Sensitivity Start with trauma and then desiccate

114 Efficiency is Key

118 Question Who are you going to be in 5 years? Answer: Very much the same you EXCEPT 3 things Books you read People you meet Thoughts you tolerate in your mind

119 The Keys to Your Success Beyond Today 1. Believe while others are doubting 2. Plan while others are playing 3. Study while others are sleeping 4. Decide while others are delaying 5. Prepare while others are day-dreaming 6. Begin while others are procrastinating 7. Work while others are wishing 8. Save while others are wasting 9. Listen while others are talking 10. Smile while others are frowning 11. Commend while others are criticizing 12. Persist while others are quitting
