Description
ExciTE
®
F is a light-curing, nano-filled, fluoride-releasing, single-component
adhesive for dentin and enamel bonding in conjunction with the total-etch
technique.
Composition
ExciTE F contains phosphonic acid acrylate, HEMA, dimethacrylate, highly
dispersed silicone dixoide, initiators, stabilizers and potassium fluoride in an
alcohol solution.
Indication
–
Adhesive for direct light-curing and dual-curing composite and
compomer restorations
–
Adhesive for indirect all-ceramic and composite restorations (inlays,
onlays, veneers; only light-curing)
Contraindication
–
Do not use ExciTE F if a patient is known to be allergic to any of the
material’s ingredients or if the stipulated working technique cannot be
employed.
–
ExciTE F must not be used in combination with purely self-curing
composite materials. Dual-curing materials always have to be light-
activated.
–
Do not use ExciTE F for direct pulp capping.
Side effects
In rare cases, ingredients of ExciTE F may cause sensitization. In such cases,
the product should cease to be used.
Interactions
Materials containing eugenol or clove oil may inhibit the polymerization of
ExciTE F.
Application
Direct restorations
1. A dry operating field must be ensured. Ideally, a rubber dam should be
placed (e.g. OptraDam
®
Plus).
2. In very deep cavities, areas close to the pulp should be selectively coated
with a calcium hydroxide liner (e.g. ApexCal
®
) and subsequently covered
with a pressure-resistant cement (glass ionomer cement, e.g. Vivaglass
®
Liner).
3. Apply phosphoric acid gel (e.g. Total Etch) to the prepared enamel and
then flow the etchant onto the prepared dentin. The etchant should be
left to react on the enamel for 15–30 seconds and on the dentin for
10–15 seconds. Following this, remove all etchant gel with a vigorous
water spray for at least 5 seconds. Excess moisture should be removed
leaving the dentin surface with a glossy wet appearance (wet bonding).
This can be done with either an air gun, a dry brush, a foam pellet or
other lint-free absorbents. Do not overdry the dentin!
4. Use of the different delivery forms
ExciTE F is available in bottles, the VivaPen
®
and Soft Touch™ Single-
Dose vessels.
