Procedures
Vit-l-escence Master Layering Technique
See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.
Step 1
For Class IV restorations, veneers, or diastema closures, we recommend a silicon putty matrix fabricated from diagnostic wax-up.
Step 2
Use the matrix as a guide for the basic shape of the restoration and to support the initial lingual placement of material.
Step 3
Use a thin layer of Opaque Snow™ to establish lingual contour and prevent show-through. This is not necessary if tooth structure exists on the lingual wall.
Step 4
Inner dentin body layer includes the basic hue of the exposed dentin. If this is an A2, an A5 would be applied at the cervical and an A4 towards the incisal. Cure and apply basic hue (A2). Create mamelons using a carver.
Step 5
Cover body and extend enamel edge with appropriate translucent shade. To achieve a "halo" (white line at the incisal edge), place a thin roll of Pearl Frost™ or Opaque Snow.
Step 6
Make final adjustments with multifluted finishing burs. Use Jiffy™ composite cups, points, and disks for smoothing. Polish with Jiffy™ HiShine™ polishers.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I use Vit-l-escence esthetic restorative material with the composite system I'm currently using?
Absolutely! We recommend augmenting your current composite system with the exclusive Vit-l-escence pearl and translucent shades. Adding these shades to your next restoration will add a value and depth to the final result, leaving your patient with a truly lifelike smile.
-
In cases where the patient desires a bleached result, which shades do you recommend?
A thin layer of Opaque White followed by Pearl Frost will achieve a bleached result. Opaque Snow can also be used as a stand-alone bleach shade in cases where the patient desires very white teeth.
