Ivoclar Vivadent Vivaglass Liner v.1 - Manual (Page 2)

Application procedure
1. Cavity Preparation
Remove caries. Prepare in the usual manner. Mechanical
retention is not required, since Vivaglass Liner chemically
bonds with the tooth structure.
2. Isolation
Isolate teeth, using a rubber dam or cotton rolls.
3. Cleaning and Drying Cavity
Clean and dry cavity in the customary manner, using a
water jet (do not dry out).
4. Pulpal Protection
When working on deep preparations, cover the pulpal
region with a small amount of material with a calcium
hydroxide base.
5. Mixing
Powder/Liquid Ratio:
The standard powder/liquid ratio of 1.4 g/1.0 g can be
achieved with a level Vivaglass measuring spoon of powder
and one drop of liquid. Hold bottle vertically when dosing
the liquid to avoid the formation of bubbles.
Dispense the required amount of powder and liquid onto
the mixing pad. Divide the powder into two equal parts.
Mix the first half with the liquid for approx. 5–10 seconds.
Add the second half of the powder and mix for another 10–
15 seconds. Total mixing time should not exceed
20 seconds.
Add more powder to obtain a thicker consistency and to
shorten working time.
6. Application
Apply the Vivaglass Liner into the cavity with a suitable
applicator.
7. Light curing
Cure the material for 30 seconds with a light-curing
apparatus (e.g. Astralis
® ). Use a layering technique if lining
depth exceeds 2 mm.
8. Restoration
Place the composite or amalgam in the usual manner.
Note
1. When dosing the liquid, hold the bottle vertically (upside
down). To avoid the formation of bubbles, hold bottle
5 cm from the mixing pad with a steady hand and
squeeze gently.
2. If the nozzle becomes clogged, wipe it clean with a
damp cloth.
3. High temperatures decrease working time, while low
ones increase it.
4. Do not mix the components with conventional glass
ionomers.
Warning
The contact of uncured Vivaglass Liner with the mucous
membrane, skin or eyes may cause irritations and should be
avoided. If Vivaglass Liner accidentally comes in contact
with the eyes, immediately rinse with copious amounts of
water and see a physician. Repeated contact with uncured
Vivaglass Liner may cause a sensitizing reaction in predis-
posed persons.
Storage
– Do not use Vivaglass after expiration date.

from evaporating, close respective bottles tightly after
use.
– Store packages in use at room temperature
(12–28 °C / 54–82 F°). Cool storage (2–8 °C / 36–46 °F)
