A. On Newly Placed Composites:
1. Light cure and contour the composite.
2. Apply acid
etchant, such as UNI-ETCH®* w/ BAC, to the cured composite
and adjacent tooth structure for 15 seconds.
3. Rinse and
dry.
4. Continue
with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
B. On
Old/Previously-Placed Composites or for Reapplication:
1. Pumice the surface, or sandblast, or roughen with a fine diamond.
Rinse and dry.
2. Apply acid
etchant, such as UNI-ETCH w/ BAC, to the cured composite and adjacent
tooth structure for 15 seconds.
3. Rinse and
dry.
4. Continue with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
C. Provisionals
(all types):
NOTE: Can be used prior to or after cementation.
1. Contour
the provisional restoration.
2. Rinse and
dry. (Etching is not required.)
3. Continue
with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
D. On
a Light-Cured/Dual-Cured Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer:
1. Place Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer per manufacturer's instructions.
2. Light cure
for 3-5 seconds at 500mW/cm2 and contour.
3. Continue
with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
E. In
Orthodontic Applications:
Prior to
Bracket Placement:
1. Clean the surface with a slurry of pumice/water.
2. Etch the
entire area with phosphoric acid, such as UNI-ETCH w/ BAC, for 30 seconds
(120 seconds for primary teeth).
3. Rinse with
water (approx. 10-20 seconds) and dry thoroughly. The etched area
will appear frosty white. If not, re-etch for an additional 20
seconds.
4. Continue
with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
5. Apply bracket
cement, according to manufacturer's instructions.
If Brackets
Have Already Been Placed:
1. Follow same instructions as in section E, "Prior
to Bracket Placement" excluding step 5.
F. Enamel
[after Whitening (Bleaching)]:
1. Clean the surface with a slurry of pumice/water.
2. Etch the
surface with 32% phosphoric acid, such as UNI-ETCH w/ BAC, for 30 seconds.
3. Rinse with
water (approx. 10-20 seconds) and dry thoroughly. The etched area
will appear frosty white. If not, re-etch for an additional 20
seconds.
4. Continue
with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
G. Acrylic
Appliances:
1. Contour
the appliance. Clean the appliance thoroughly.
2. Rinse and
dry.
3. Continue
with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
H. On Indirect Composites:
NOTE: Can be used prior to or after cementation.
1. Pumice the surface, or sandblast, or roughen with a fine
diamond. Rinse and dry.
2. Apply acid etchant, such as UNI-ETCH w/ BAC, to the cured composite
and adjacent tooth structure for 15 seconds.
3. Rinse and dry.
4. Continue with Section "Applying BisCover LV".
1. If using a bottle of BisCover LV, dispense BisCover LV into a mixing well. Dip the brush into the BisCover LV. Wipe excess from the brush onto the side of mixing well. The brush does not need to be saturated, just wet enough to apply one thin coat. If using the BisCover LV syringe, apply directly using a syringe and an applicator tip. (NOTE: This is a low viscosity material and as such, care must be taken to control the amount of material dispensed from the syringe. It is also recommended that the tip be removed from the syringe and the cap replaced immediately upon completion of application.)
2. Apply one thin coat of BisCover LV in one direction
with a smooth stroke. Do not agitate the brush during application. It is very important that one allows 15 seconds dwelling
time for evaporation of solvent after application. Do not air
thin as this will disperse the material unevenly causing ripples
on the surface.
CAUTION: Upon curing, BisCover LV may produce a
brief exothermic reaction which is minimized by applying in a
thin layer. Do not cure on soft tissue.
3. BisCover LV uses the following curing lights and curing
times to initiate polymerization. Insufficient curing will leave
an air-inhibited layer on the surface of BisCover LV.
a. LED Lights: Using an LED curing light with a minimum
output of 500mW/cm², light cure for 30 seconds at
close range (0-2mm).
b. Halogen Lights: Using a halogen curing unit, such as
VIP™* junior, with a minimum output of
500mW/cm², light cure for 30 seconds at close range
(0-2mm).
NOTE: If the light intensity is lower and/or curing occurs
at a distance (10mm), light cure for greater than 30 seconds.
c. PAC (Plasma Arc) Lights: Using a PAC light, light cure
for 10 seconds at close range (0-2mm).
4. If a second coat is desired, repeat steps 1-3.
Troubleshooting:
OBSERVATION: After curing, the treated surface has
white spots.
1. Insufficient evaporation of the solvent has occurred due to
too thick of a layer or entrapment of solvent.
SOLUTION: Remove BisCover LV with rotary
instruments and apply again, allowing sufficient time for evaporation
of the solvent.
OBSERVATION: The surface is tacky after curing.
1. The light intensity may be less than the required amount. The
lamp may be old and need replacement, or the internal filter may
be scratched and dirty.
SOLUTION: Use a radiometer to determine the actual
output intensity, and/or increase the curing time.
2. The light guide may be too far away from the surface. Light
divergence reduces the intensity at the curing surface as the
light spreads to cover a larger area.
SOLUTION: Keep probe 1-2mm from surface, and/or
increase the curing time.
3. Residue build-up on the tip of the probe may block light and
reduce the intensity. A chipped or scratched probe tip will also
contribute to reduced intensity.
SOLUTION: Clean the tip of the light probe, and/or
increase the curing time.
4. Substrate was contaminated.
SOLUTION: Apply a second coat of BisCover LV.
OBSERVATION: The surface is not tacky but it can
be scratched.
1. BisCover LV requires a minimum curing intensity regardless
of the amount of time cured. Holding the light at a distance will
reduce the intensity dramatically due to light divergence.
SOLUTION: When curing a large surface area, it is
better to cure smaller sections at close range as opposed to the
whole area from a distance.
OBSERVATION: The surface is not cured uniformly.
1. The intensity of the curing light may not be uniformly distributed
as an output, falling off in intensity towards the outer periphery.
This is further exaggerated as the distance between the probe
and surface are increased.
SOLUTION: When curing a large surface area, it is
better to cure smaller sections at close range as opposed to the
whole area from a distance.
STORAGE: Store at room temperature (22°C/72°F).
Refer to individual component labels for specific expiration dates.
PRECAUTIONS: Unpolymerized resins may cause skin sensitization
in susceptible persons. In case of contact with the skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and water. Do not cure on soft tissue.
