ONE-STEP® HELPFUL HINTS

Technique Card In Vitro Testing Protocol Technique Index

The ONE-STEP Introductory Package does not contain composite or cement.
1. Bisco does not recommend the use of bases or liners. The adhesive will serve this purpose.
2. In order to facilitate penetration of ONE-STEP adhesive into the dentin and enamel, the tooth surface should be left visibly moist with water (not saliva).
3. ONE-STEP adhesive contains a monomer, BPDM, dissolved in an acetone solvent. Once the 2 coats have been applied to the dentin surface, thorough air drying for 10 seconds should be done to remove excess solvent. Inadequate air drying to remove the solvent completely could lead to reduced bond strength and post-operative sensitivity .
4. Drying ONE-STEP adhesive with an air syringe should begin lightly to avoid displacement of adhesive from preparation and proceed to a fairly strong stream of air, making sure all of the excess solvent and water have been removed.
5. Proper air drying is extremely important with indirect procedures such as inlays or onlays. Pay particular attention to the line angles and margins. Do not allow the ONE-STEP adhesive to pool in these areas. Excessive pooling could interfere with the final fit of the restoration.
6. A rubber dam is essential to the success of a porcelain repair. Also, if metal is exposed, a sandblaster is highly recommended for optimum adhesion.
7. Always lubricate matrix band prior to amalgam bonding procedure. This prevents adhesion of amalgam to band. Hard inlay wax is recommended.
8. AQUA-PREP™ F, an aqueous solution of HEMA and fluoride, can be used after acid etching of the preparation to insure that a proper level of moisture remains on the tooth. Dispense 2 drops of aqua-prep F into a mixing well and apply to the preparation. Allow a dwell (soak) for 20 seconds, then gently blow off the excess while leaving the tooth structure shiny in appearance. Proceed with the application of ONE-STEP. AQUA-PREP F also provides immediate, although temporary, desensitization of dentin which will enhance patient comfort during the application of a polymerizable bonding resin.
