Contact + Gold TDV
For Contact Point Reconstruction
 
Information:
Contact + Gold is a unique instrument conceived to build consistent contact points with ideal shape and position in class II restorations with composites. The instrument has extremities figured so that the desired effect is attained with simple application of force against the adjacent tooth. The slot (1) in the convex surface (2) produces a resin fillet that forms the contact. Contact + Gold is presented in a kit with two instruments, one being for moderate cavities (S) and the other for extensive cavities (L). Each instrument has two different extremities, one being for mesial cavities (3) and the other for distal ones (4).
 
Note: All Instruments are Autoclavable
 
Use:
Preparation - A matrix/wedge set is used to apply the contact point technique, being particularly recommended the Unimatrix sectional convex matrices system. It is necessary to have at least one layer of composite properly adapted and cured at the cervical region (5) before applying the Contact + Gold to avoid any risk of marginal leakage. The application of Fotoplus instruments at this step is recommended to minimize this risk. To select the appropriate instrument size (small or large), if there is any doubt about it, is suggested to try them before the application of the composite, by introducing the tip into the cavity to decide which is the most suitable for the cavity in question (6). Technique - Having selected the instrument, introduce a low quantity of composite into the cavity. Introduce the instrument into the cavity and move it against the adjacent tooth, mesial – pull (7) and distal – push (8) forcing the matrix to make contact with it. Photopolymerize the composite keeping the instrument in its position. Remove the instrument from the cavity. The now polymerized composite in the slot already maintains the contact. Conclude the cavity filling by the usual procedure.
