3 An Introduction to Sculpture Plus Opaques Sculpture Plus Opaques are ideal for use when a doctor or patient desires an esthetic restoration that provides the familiarity and security of a metal substructure. Sculpture Plus Opaques are compatible with a wide range of alloys. For added esthetics, the warm gold color of high gold and SinterKor copings provide a life-like glow to Sculpture Plus composite restorations. Sculpture Plus over metal restorations yield beautifully natural results as well as all of the benefits of composite restorations including low wear, high stain resistance and kindness to opposing dentition. Sculpture Plus Opaques are dual component paste opaques that provide exceptional handling and one-coat coverage. The opaques are packaged in double barrel syringes to keep the shaded base and catalyst separate until ready for use. Our unique dual tip dispensing caps provided for use with the syringes prevent cross contamination and minimize waste. The tips are disposable and we recommend that you use one for each individual syringe. Caps are provided for the tips to preserve the material and to protect it from ambient light between use. Both the syringe tips and the caps are keyed to prevent cross contamination. The Sculpture Plus Opaque Kit provides you with a full range of 18 body shades to complement our Sculpture Plus Composite body shades. Grey and White Modifiers are provided to customize shades as necessary. Sculpture Plus Opaque refills are available in Gingival Light and Gingival Dark shades required for implant cases. Contact Pentron Clinical for further information. 2

5 Curing Sculpture Plus Opaques Sculpture Plus Opaques and the Opaque Conditioner, used to facilitate the bond between the opaque layer and the first composite body layer, are light cure materials. Both the Sculpture Plus Opaques and the Opaque Conditioner do not require exposure to pressure prior to light cure with pressure. As a result, the time for cure can be reduced by eliminating the pressure only segment of the cure cycles. The full 8-minute Build-Up and Final cure cycles are recommended for use once you begin to layer Sculpture Plus Composites over the opaque layer. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Note: These instructions are provided to minimize curing time to 3 minutes for the opaques and 2 minutes for the opaque conditioner. The full 8-minute cure cycles may be used without affecting these materials. Sculpture Plus Opaques require a 3 minute light cure in the Final curing cycle of the Sculpture Curing Light. To set the Sculpture Curing Light to run the proper cure cycle for an opaque cure, follow these simple steps: 1. Press the "Final" button to select the Final cure cycle. 2. Press the "Minutes Down" button 5 times until the cycle time for the "Pressure" segment displays "0:00." The default pressure time setting is 5 minutes. 3. The Sculpture Curing Light is now set for a 3 minute light cure in the Final cycle Fig Press the "Start" button to run the cure cycle. Sculpture Plus Opaque Conditioner requires a 2 minute light cure in the Build-Up cycle of the Sculpture Curing Light. To set the Sculpture Curing Light for this cure follow these steps: 1. Press the "Build-Up" button to select the Build-Up cure cycle. 2. Press the "Minutes Down" button 5 times until the cycle time for the "Pressure" segment displays "0:00." The default pressure time setting is 5 minutes. 3. Press the "Select" button to switch to the "Pressure & Light" segment. The default time for this segment is 3 minutes. 4. Set the "Pressure & Light" segment time to "2:00" by pressing the "Minutes Down" button 1 time until the display reads "2:00." The Sculpture Curing Light is now set for a 2 minute light cure Fig Press the "Start" button to run the cure cycle. 4

6 Coping Preparation Wax & Cast Coping 1. Finish and sandblast a cast alloy framework with AL 2 O 3 abrasive following standard procedure and clean with steam or with isopropyl alcohol in an ultrasonic cleaner. Note: For 1-3 surface restorations, use micro beads on your wax pattern for added retention. Apply micro beads following manufacturer s instructions. The use of micro beads is optional for full coverage restorations. SinterKor Coping 1. Clean the finished SinterKor coping with distilled water in an ultrasonic cleaner for 5 minutes. Do not sandblast SinterKor copings. 2. Prepare the coping for opaque application by applying SinterKor Gold Bonder bonding agent and firing per the instructions in the SinterKor manual. Note: After firing, the coping will have a matte finish and is ready for opaque application Fig. 1 Sculpture Plus Paste Opaque Technique 1. When coping is completely cooled and dry, apply a thin layer of Sculpture Plus Metal Primer to the surface of the coping using a disposable brush Fig 2. Close tightly and refrigerate immediately after use. Note: Sculpture Plus Metal Primer has a black cap and dropper tip. 2. Allow Sculpture Plus Metal Primer to dry for 30 seconds, then blow dry with a gentle jet of air for 3-5 seconds. 3. Dispense the selected shade of Sculpture Plus Opaque Paste onto a glass slab Fig 3. Note: The cap for the double barrel syringe is keyed. Ensure the cap is properly aligned before replacing to prevent cross contamination. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 5

7 Sculpture Plus Paste Opaque Technique Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig Immediately mix the base and catalyst for approximately 30 seconds until thoroughly combined Fig Apply a thin layer of Sculpture Plus Opaque to the surface of the coping with a disposable brush Fig 5. Note: Vibration is not required. Sculpture Plus Opaques will thoroughly mask metal copings with a single layer application. 6. Light cure in the Sculpture Curing Light, Final cycle for 3 minutes Fig 6. Note: The cured opaque layer will have a hard surface finish. 7. Apply a thin layer of Sculpture Plus Opaque Conditioner over the opaqued coping using a disposable brush Fig 7. Note: Sculpture Plus Opaque Conditioner has a white cap and dropper tip. 8. Light cure in the Sculpture Curing Light Build-up cycle for 2 minutes. 9. The restoration is now ready for Sculpture Plus Body and Incisal Build-up. Use the layering technique and incisals per the instructions on page 6 for Sculpture Plus restorations over metal. Refer to the Sculpture Plus Composite Instruction Manual for details on handling, curing and polishing techniques. Note: Cover the opaqued coping with a minimum 0.75mm thickness of Sculpture Plus Composites. Fig. 7 6

8 Sculpture Plus Opaque Layering Chart Note: The composite layering technique for Sculpture Plus restorations over metal is different than the metal-free technique detailed in the Sculpture Plus Composite Instructions. The layering technique illustrated below has been developed to maximize the esthetics of Sculpture Plus restorations over metal. Standard Technique Modified Technique Metal Coping Body Opaque Incisal Transparent Incisal* * The addition of transparent incisal creates a halo effect at the incisal edge. 7
