This video delves into advanced resin repair techniques, focusing on late repairs performed weeks after the initial restoration. Understanding polymerization and the degree of resin conversion is essential for these repairs. The resin undergoes a dark cure process, increasing its polymerization over time but leaving fewer residual monomers for new layers to bond.
The steps include:
1. Aspiration - Wear the interface and surrounding area with a thick diamond tip.
2. Blasting - Use aluminum oxide to prepare the surface.
3. Phosphoric Acid - Clean exposed tooth areas and condition surfaces.
4. Silane Application - Enhance adhesion to the glass components of the resin.
5. Hydrophobic Adhesive - Apply a pure adhesive without polymerization, followed by the repair resin.
These techniques improve adhesion and prevent detachment at the interface, ensuring durable and aesthetic dental restorations. Perfect for professionals seeking to refine their approach to composite resin repairs.
