Usage Instructions

Preparation:

1. Isolate and prepare the tooth or restoration area according to standard dental procedures.

Dispensing:

2. Load PermaFlo A2 Refill into a compatible dispensing syringe.

Application:

3. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the prepared surface if necessary, and light-cure following the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Dispense PermaFlo A2 Refill directly onto the prepared surface.

Placement:

5. Shape and adapt the composite using appropriate instruments.
6. Ensure thorough coverage and adaptation to cavity walls or restoration margins.

Light-Curing:

7. Light-cure the composite using a dental curing light. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended curing time, typically 10 to 40 seconds per layer, depending on the light intensity.

Finishing and Polishing:

8. Once cured, finish and polish the restoration using dental burs, discs, and polishing materials according to standard protocol.
9. Achieve the desired anatomical contour and surface smoothness for optimal aesthetics and function.

Check Occlusion:

10. Verify occlusal contacts and adjust as necessary to ensure proper bite alignment and functionality.

Final Evaluation:

11. Perform a final evaluation of the restoration for fit, aesthetics, and occlusal harmony.
12. Ensure patient comfort and satisfaction with the completed restoration.

Post-Operative Instructions:

13. Provide the patient with post-operative care instructions, including oral hygiene practices and any specific guidelines related to the composite restoration.
