Ivoclar Vivadent Heliobond Refill

Directions To Use

1. Bonding agent for adhesive restorations

• Etch desired enamel surfaces (see preparation of the enamel). If necessary, cover exposed dentin surfaces with Syntac Adhesive (see Syntac instructions for use) or appropriate base material.
• Apply a thin layer of Heliobond onto the etched enamel surface using a brush or spherical instrument.
• An optimal, thin layer can be achieved using a stream of air.
• If used in combination with light-curing luting composites, Heliobond does not require separate polymerization. For direct restorations, separate polymerization of Heliobond is required: Light-cure for 10 s using a light intensity of 500 to 1100 mW/cm2 (e.g. Bluephase).
• Application of the composite.
• Polymerization of the composite.
• Finishing of the restoration.

2. Transparent sealant for fissures and pits

• Etch desired enamel surfaces (see preparation of the enamel).
• Apply Heliobond into the fissures using a suitable instrument or brush. Avoid entrapment of air and wait for approx. 15 s to allow penetration.
• Polymerize with light for 20 s using a light intensity of 500 to 1100 mW/cm2 (e.g. Bluephase).
• After curing, remove inhibited layer. Check occlusion and grind off any excess material.

3. Preparation of resin repair work

• Roughen the smooth resin surfaces.
• If necessary, apply Monobond® Plus (see Monobond Plus instructions for use).
• Apply a thin layer of Heliobond (use a stream of air, if necessary).
• Polymerize with light for 10 s using a light intensity of 500 to 1100 mW/cm2 (e.g. Bluephase).
