12 Steps to a Perfect Restoration in Under 15 Minutes 2

My referring endodontist’s office manager, Jen, is in for a hygiene visit and

has a sensitive tooth. I just sent two emergency patients to their office,

causing a bit of chaos – so she needs to get back there ASAP. Of course,

her treatment is free because we love her and her office and the fact that

they see our patients on short notice. Jen has meticulous hygiene and

regular recare but a nagging abfraction lesion on the facial of #11, which

has cold and tactile sensitivity. Worse yet, she told me about it last time

and we kind of blew it off (You know, the “shoemaker’s kids” syndrome).

So, how can I numb her up, place a composite that looks highly esthetic, and

get her back to work in the most efficient and effective way I know how?

Easy. I’m even going to take photos during the entire restoration and still get

it done in less than 15 minutes using Tokuyama Dental’s new

OMNICHROMA composite. The first truly UNIVERSAL ONE-SHADE

COMPOSITE.

Dr. Brian Gray’s forte is aesthetic reconstruction with an emphasis on cosmetic ceramic restorations. He graduated from Georgetown University’s School of Dentistry in 1986, where he participated in the first international dental student exchange program, and completed an externship at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Dr. Gray received his undergraduate degree in 1982 from Loyola University of Chicago.

In private practice since 1986, Dr. Gray is an active member of the American Dental Association as well as a member of the District of Columbia Dental Society, where he received the 2000 Mast Award for Continuing Education Teaching Excellence.

The challenge


20 seconds: Pre op photo. I anesthetized Jen in the hygiene

chair with Mepiviciane 4%, no epi. Note the Carbocaine

injection site delivered during prophy.

Step 1


20 seconds: Place moderate bevel with fine diamond.

Step 2


20 seconds: MicroAirAbrasion (Danville, PrepStart), with

Zekrya Gingival Protector (DMG America (Zenith)), for

superior bond strength and no gingival trauma.

Step 3


60 seconds: Full etch and rinse.

Step 4


90 seconds: Gluma desensitizer (Kulzer), Tokuyama Universal

Bond (Tokuyama Dental), air dry. Bond requires no agitation

or curing light!

Step 5


60 seconds: OMNICHROMA placement. Note the white-

opaque color - no worries, it will cure to match the adjacent

tooth structure.

Step 6


30 seconds: Light cure.

Step 7


60 seconds: 13 fluted carbide (Brassler), smooth and

contour.

Step 8


One minute: Polish with Enhance (Dentsply Sirona) and PoGo

(Dentsply Sirona) system.

Step 9


One minute: Admire the restoration. Take some more photos.

Step 10


Two more minutes admiring that new composite, WOW! No

time spent on shade selection, easy placement, great

polishing, durable stuff, reliable company. Alright, you go

Tokuyama, we are loving your OMNICHROMA!

OK everyone, back to work. We’ve got patients to treat. And

we better order more OMNICHROMA because we are using

it all the time!
