Variolink® EstheticThe aesthetic luting composite. Amazingly simple aesthetics.

Variolink® Esthetic is based on the aesthetic luting composites

Variolink® II and Variolink® Veneer, which have proven their

worth in clinical use for many years.

Variolink® Esthetic demonstrates exceptional shade stability.

This is made possible by the patented, reactive light initiator

Ivocerin®, which is 100 % free of amine-based co-initiators.

Variolink® Esthetic forms the basis for long-lasting and reliable

aesthetic results. Even if exposed to intensive light or a humid

environment, Variolink® Esthetic is not subject to visible shade

changes.

Find out about: our latest aesthetic luting composite - Variolink® EstheticAdhesive luting composites has contributed to the rising importance of innovative restorative materials which

allow for a defect-oriented preparation. Their adhesive bond makes it possible that highly aesthetic all-ceramics

can be used even if no retentive preparation has been performed. An additional advantage of adhesive luting

composites over conventional cements represents the enhanced long-term integrity of the restoration margin.

“An IPS e.max® CAD restoration was decided in order to achieve an efficient and aesthetic result.”

EDITORIAL

The advantage of conventional cements (e.g. phosphate

or glass ionomer cements) lies in the easy and time-saving

removal of excess material, which adheres mechanically to

the tooth structure and is easily discernible due to its opaque

shade. However, for conventional cements to establish a

mechanical bond, retentive preparation is required.

The advent of adhesive luting composites has contributed

to the rising importance of innovative restorative materials

which allow for a defect-oriented preparation. Their adhesive

bond makes it possible for highly aesthetic all-ceramics – such

as IPS e.max® Press/CAD – to be used even if no retentive

preparation has been performed. It is essential in such cases,

however, that a luting material of an appropriate shade and

translucency level is selected in order to obtain excellent

aesthetic results. This applies in particular to restorations with

a low material thickness.

An additional advantage of adhesive luting composites over

conventional cements represents the enhanced long-term

integrity of the restoration margin. The low solubility and

high resistance to wear of these luting composites lead to a

reduced washing out of the cement gap.

Optimum aesthetics for a broad range of indications

A 25-year-old patient presented to our practice with an

insufficient composite filling and secondary caries on the

lower left 6.

Since the defective area was very large, treatment with an

IPS e.max® CAD restoration was decided in order to achieve

an efficient and aesthetic result. After placement of the core

build-up and preparation of the tooth, the tooth was scanned

intraorally and a partial crown was designed (Fig. 1).

Subsequently, the non-crystallised restoration was ground

and tried in to check the contact points and the fit. In order

to assess the aesthetic appearance and the shade effect, the

characterised and fired restoration was again tried in using

Variolink® Esthetic Try-In Paste Neutral. During these trial

placements, care was taken that the tooth was sufficiently

moist to ensure a lifelike shade impression.

An anatomically shaped rubber dam (OptraDam Plus) was

used for absolute isolation during the final placement of the

restoration. First, the enamel was etched for 15 seconds,

followed by the entire cavity for another 15 seconds.

Then, Adhese® Universal was applied onto the prepared tooth

surface and dispersed with a stream of air (Fig. 2). Special

care was taken that no material pools formed at the cavity

floor. Subsequently, the restoration was light-cured with a

polymerisation light (Bluephase® Style) for 10 seconds.

To obtain an optimum bond, the IPS e.max® CAD restoration

was etched with hydrofluoric acid (IPS Ceramic Etch Gel) for

20 seconds and conditioned with Monobond® Plus.

Ivoclar Vivadent’s IPS e.max® system is streets ahead

NEWS

ITV’s Coronation Street actress Alison King definitely had something to smile about at the TV Choice Awards

in 2015. The actress not only walked away with the Best Soap Actress award for playing Weatherfield’s Carla

Connor, but also had a gleaming IPS e.max® smile to match her dazzling outfit.

Blaming her thumb-sucking habit as

a child for needing six teeth crowned

ten years ago at a London Dental

Practice, former Dental Nurse Alison

wasn’t left with the smile she deserved:

“As an actress onscreen I’d began to

notice how my top and bottom front

teeth had been pushed into the middle

where my thumb had been! The inside

bottom four teeth around the gum line

were much shorter than the rest of the

teeth...

“I wanted a smile that didn’t look out

of character, and together John and

Jonathan really did make happen what

other dentist’s had said was impossible.

I’m truly indebted to them forever and

smiling happily!”

John Hewitt, City Centre Dental Practice & Jonathan Asquith, Dentechnica Limited

In a next step, Variolink® Esthetic DC was applied on the

restoration which was subsequently positioned on the tooth.

After pre-polymerisation of the excess material using the

quarter technique (two seconds per quarter surface) (Fig. 3),

the gel-like excess material could be easily removed using

a scaler (Fig. 4). Glycerine gel (Liquid Strip) was applied to

prevent the formation of an inhibition layer.

In a final step, each segment of the restoration was light-

cured for 10 seconds, the composite gap was finished and

polished (Astropol) and the occlusion was checked. The

patient returned 1 week later to confirm the successful

placement of the restoration (Fig 5.)

The department of Health recommends the application of

fluoride varnish to help reduce the risk of caries. As a general

rule, all children should have fluoride varnish applied twice

each year and all high-risk adults twice per year.

Additionally, if a child is ‘high-risk’ it is recommended for the

fluoride application to take place at least twice a year.

EDUCATION

tHe WOrLD OF

RESTORATIVESMADRID ANNECY SCHAAN VIENNA

Composites can be a valid alternative for large anterior restorations. Given the right

technique and operator skills, composite restorations are not only highly aesthetic, but

they can be done in significantly less time than indirect alternatives. Based on several

clinical cases, our courses will show the importance of techniques and

the tricks needed to show the difference between aesthetic and

economic success and failure.

Additionally, the hands on course introduces you to the latest

skills for the modern and workable alternative to amalgam

fillings. Using techniques with the latest Bulk Fill materials you

will learn to place reliable, functional and aesthetically pleasing

posterior restorations.

Ivoclar Vivadent is hosting the 3rd International Expert Symposium on 11 June 2016 in Madrid.

Renowned international speakers will share and discuss their experiences with innovative direct and indirect

restorations. The talks are based on state-of-the-art research and evidence. Furthermore, the lecturers will

provide insights into their work at academic institutions and universities as well as into practical work.

Be part of this exciting event and receive valuable tips from highly recognised experts in the field of direct

and indirect restorations. We look forward to welcoming you to the International Expert Symposium 2016
