CLASS I
This restoration shows an old amalgam that needs to be replaced with composite. After the amalgam is removed, the tooth is prepped. Place bonding agent in a thin layer. Then place your cavity liner into the preparation before placement of a microhybrid or nanofill composite so you can clearly identify the composite on an X-Ray. Renamel De-Mark from Cosmedent is a hyper radiopaque cavity liner for easy identification between composite and tooth structure.
Place your desired composite in 2 to 2 ½ mm increments. The cusps are built one at a time to reduce stress on tooth structure. Cure, finish and polish for a long lasting, invisible restoration.
