Application:
The adhesive bond within the total-etch technique is achieved as follows:
1. Drying Due to the subsequent application of light-curing restorative material, it is necessary to dry the tooth surface. Avoid any contamination of the cavity with blood or saliva. The use of a rubber dam is recommended.
2. Preparation Prepare the cavity according to the principles of the adhesive restoration technique. Areas close to the pulp should be protected with a suitable calcium hydroxide based liner.
3. Etching of enamel margins Etch entire cavity with etching gel (Vococid) starting from the enamel margin (enamel: approx. 20 - 30 s, dentine: 15 s maximum). Remove etching gel by suction, rinse for approx. 20 s and remove excess moisture with an air blower. Do not overdry dentine. The surface should remain slightly moist. The etched enamel should have a chalk-white/matt appearance. If not, repeat etching.
4. Solobond M dispensing Dispense Solobond M onto a Micro Tim or a disposable brush. As an alternative, dispense Solobond M onto a mixing pallet.
5. Solobond M application Apply Solobond M homogeneously to all prepared enamel and dentine surfaces with Micro Tim or a disposable brush and allow to act for 30 s. Then disperse Solobond M with a faint air jet and polymerise with LED/halogen light for 20 s. Do not remove or contaminate the inhibition layer since it is important for the adhesion to the composite.
6.Work the filling material.
