TECHNIQUE
1 Shade selection
After cleaning the tooth
with pumice and water,
select shade prior to
isolation, assisted by the
GRADIA DIRECT Shade
Guide. For the single
shade technique choose
ONE Standard Shade from
the range. These shades
are based upon the
VITAPAN Classical
® Shade
Guide and have a very
delicate balance between
hue, chroma, value and
translucency.
• for anterior cavities
There are Standard Shades
grouped into A shades
(reddish-brown), B shades
(reddish-yellow) and C
shades (Grey). In addition,
there are two bleach
shades – XBW and BW
White (BW) and two
cervical shades - Cervical
(CV) and Cervical Dark
(CVD).
• for posterior cavities
There are Standard Shades
in the A shade group only.
Around 95% of
restorations are performed
with a single shade layer.
Use a single shade of
GRADIA DIRECT for cavity
Class I, II, III and V
restorations. 2 Cavity preparation
The cavity is prepared
using standard techniques.
3 Bonding
For bonding GRADIA
DIRECT to enamel and/or
dentine use a light-curable
system such as G-BOND
or Fuji BOND LC.
In the case of deep
cavities, place a flowable
composite such as
GRADIA DIRECT Flo on
the cavity floor. Fuji
LINING PASTE PAK or Fuji
LINING LC can also be
used as a liner. For the
sandwich technique Fuji IX
GP (Fast) or Fuji II LC are
the materials of choice as
a base material.
