ONE-STEP® TECHNIQUE GUIDE
 

ONE-STEP technique cards are provided as a concise chairside guide to various clinical procedures. Flip through the cards until you find the procedure you are about to perform. Should you need materials other than those supplied in the ONE-STEP kits, they will be listed under 'also needed'.

ONE-STEP bonds composite to dentin, enamel, cast metals, treated porcelain and set amalgam. Although ONE-STEP is a light-cured system, it allows for indirect restorative procedures, due to its extremely thin and uniform film thickness.

The ONE-STEP system contains UNI-ETCH® w/BAC (32% phosphoric acid with Benzalkonium Chloride). This polymer-thickened semi-gel is indicated for simultaneous use on dentin and enamel (15 seconds). Further research toward elimination of potential causes of post-operative sensitivity has yielded another significant innovation - the incorporation of a powerful antimicrobial agent, Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC).

Dispensing One Drop of Acetone Based ONE-STEP Adhesive

Due to the vapor pressure of acetone in adhesive solution, dispensing one to two drop(s) from the adhesive bottle may be difficult sometimes. The following technique will help to obtain the exact number of drops every time.
Step 1. After removing cap, hold bottle "up" between two fingers and squeeze lightly to expel air.
   
Step 2. Maintain finger pressure, turn bottle "down" and hold it in that vertical position, or lightly squeeze further, until one or two drops fall free..
   
Step 3. While unwanted drop is formed at the tip, release finger pressure from the bottle to suck the adhesive liquid back into the bottle.
