CORRECTION
|
|
Dentin Over Dried
|
Collagen Collapses preventing penetration of primer | Dry Dentin only a brief second |
|
Drying Primers Between Coats
|
Blocks penetration of subsequent coats | Dry after last coat only |
|
Air Blasting Primer
|
May remove primer from tooth | Position air syringe 1-2" form tooth begin lightly air drying |
|
Inadequate Primer Drying
|
Solvent may not be completely removed |
Increase drying time |
|
Inadequate Light Curing
|
Incomplete polymerization | Check Light with Light Meter |
|
Bulk Placement of Composite
|
Shrinkage Stress with open margins | Incrementally place composite |
|
Use of Eugenol or Astringents
|
May inhibit complete polymerization if not rinsed thoroughly | Rinse Thoroughly |
|
Aggressive Crown Placement |
May cause hydrostatic pressure | Passively place crown with light pressure. |
