Dr. DiTolla’s CLINICAL TIPS PRODUCT........ OptiBond XTR SOURCE........... Kerr Corporation Orange, Calif. 800-537-7123 www.kerrdental.com Since the introduction of BruxZir ® Solid Zirconia, I have been looking for a way to bond these monolithic restorations into place whether using totaletch, self-etch or conventional cementation. Zirconia is notoriously tough to bond to, but OptiBond XTR provides a solution. It also has helped me reduce post-op sensitivity. And due to its film thickness of 5 to 10 microns, I am able to light cure OptiBond XTR prior to placing restorations without worrying about them seating all the way. I simply apply the OptiBond XTR Primer to the inside of the BruxZir restoration, air thin and light cure. To bond to the tooth, I apply the primer with a scrubbing motion and then air thin. Then I apply the OptiBond XTR Adhesive to the tooth, air thin and cure. Finally, I fill the BruxZir restoration with the cement of my choice, seat it on the tooth, and I’ve got a virtually unbreakable crown or bridge with a high-strength bond. 10 www.chairsidemagazine.com
Dr. DiTolla’s CLINICAL TIPS PRODUCT........ Clear-Lock Retainers for Life SOURCE........... Glidewell Laboratories Newport Beach, Calif. 866-497-3700 www.glidewelldental.com I often get asked to make retainers for patients who don’t want to bother going back to their orthodontic office five years after their first appliance was made. Most of the time the patient’s teeth have slightly relapsed, and while he or she doesn’t care enough to have more ortho, the patient doesn’t want his or her teeth to get any worse. Thanks to Invisalign ® , patients now prefer clear retainers to the old pink acrylic and wire Hawley retainers many of us grew up with. Glidewell started making clear retainers for dentists a few years ago. With the advent of CAD/CAM, the lab realized we could make multiple sets of retainers. This is especially practical when the patient loses or damages his or her retainer, which always happens. The lab now offers Clear-Lock Retainers for Life, a service in which we send you either three single-arch retainers (three uppers or three lowers) or one set of three upper and three lower retainers to give to the patient. When all the retainers are lost or damaged, contact us and we will send you three more from our digitally stored data. It’s a great service that even your orthodontist doesn’t provide!
