About the Case
Patient came with chief complaint of having a “temporary restoration” that had an open contact. The treatment plan consisted of a class II, MO (mesio-occlusal) restoration using 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive and 3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative, Shade A2B. After total isolation with rubber dam, the temporary restoration was fully removed, all the procedures related to the adhesive were made and the composite material was placed and finished with burs and a #12 scalpel blade. Polishing completed using 3M™ Sof-Lex™ Diamond Polishing System.
Initial situation: patient presented with a temporary Glass Ionomer restoration showing an open contact in the mesial.
Extensive prep after removing all the existing Glass Ionomer.
37% phosphoric acid etch gel was applied using the selective etch technique. This was left on for 10 seconds, then rinsed away with water.
