ÆLITEFLO™*/ÆLITEFLO LV
Low Modulus Microhybrid Composite
GENERAL INFORMATION
ÆLITEFLO and ÆLITEFLO LV (Low Viscosity) are
light-cured, highly filled microhybrid composites
with a low modulus of elasticity. These flowable
composites are ideal for Class III, Class V and
some smaller Class IV restorations. They may also
be used as a cavity liner (Class I or Class II),
pit and fissure sealant, for repair of marginal
defects, blocking out undercuts, porcelain repairs,
porcelain veneer cementation or with splinting
materials (e.g., fibers, orthodontic wire). With
an average particle size of 0.7 microns, these
composites are highly polishable and due to the
barium glass filler, they are designed to be radiographically
apparent at a greater than 2 mm thickness.
Even
though ÆLITEFLO and ÆLITEFLO
LV are flowable, their properties prevent
them from slumping for better control in hard
to access areas. Using the provided tips, these
materials are easily injected directly into the
cavity preparation and usually can be shaped with
the tip itself.
Studies
by C. L. Davidson and C. M. Kemp-Scholte1 have demonstrated that a strong correlation exists
between margin failure and Young's modulus of
the composite restorative material, especially
in a Class V restoration. The higher the modulus
of elasticity, the stiffer the material, thereby
increasing the possibility of margin failure during
occlusal loading. The elastic modulus2 of dentin is about 18 GPa whereas ÆLITEFLO is about 3.6 GPa, giving it more elastic characteristics.
These characteristics compensate for curing contraction
stress, reduce the frequency of margin microleakage
and possible debonding. This is especially important
in restoring patient's dentition with multiple
abfraction lesions, where a highly filled stiff
composite may ultimately fail.
The
principal uses of ÆLITEFLO are: |

Pit and fissure sealant |
Cavity liner (Class I or Class II) |
HELPFUL HINTS |
1. Both the ALL-BOND 2 ®*
and ONE-STEP®* adhesive systems function
best in a "moist" environment, therefore a
visibly moist surface must be observed. After rinsing
the etchant, lightly air dry the preparation. The use
of a rehydrating agent such as AQUA-PREP™* F is
recommended to ensure proper moisture.
2. Once ÆLITEFLO/ÆLITEFLO
LV has been placed and light-cured, it must be finished
with discs and/or polishing paste, etc. The restoration
may appear smooth and polished immediately after placement,
however an oxygen inhibited layer is present and must
be removed to prevent staining.
3. Dispose of dispensing
tip after each use to avoid cross-contamination.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE |
1. Prior to isolation,
select appropriate shade of ÆLITEFLO/ÆLITEFLO
LV.
2. Isolate and prepare
the tooth in a conservative manner. Clean the entire
preparation with a slurry of pumice and a disinfectant,
such as CAVITY CLEANSER™*, or water.
3. Etch using an
etchant, such as UNI-ETCH®* or ETCH-37™*, according to manufacturer's instructions.
4. Apply an adhesive,
such as ALL-BOND 2, ALL-BOND 3™, ONE-STEP or ONE-STEP PLUS, according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Using the previously
selected shade, place 1-2 mm increments of composite
into the cavity preparation. To prevent excess material
extruding from syringe, pull back plunger immediately
after the desired amount is dispensed. Light-cure each
increment for 20 seconds at 500m/Wcm2. Continue to build incrementally
until cavity preparation is filled to the cavosurface
margin.
6. After finishing
and polishing have been completed, apply a surface sealant,
such as FORTIFY™* or FORTIFY PLUS, according to
manufacturer's instructions.
OR If using BisCover™* LV Liquid Polish, finish and
apply BisCover LV according to manufacturer's instructions.
This will improve marginal integrity and reduce wear
and staining.
