The contouring and shaping of state-of-the-art high-quality dental composites is a challenging task. Apart from other factors, it significantly influences the long-term success of the treatment, since the correct anatomical shape of the restoration is crucial to the overall health of the chewing system. The occlusal design is important for the proper functioning of the masticatory system. Correctly designed proximal marginal ridges facilitate the cleaning of interdental spaces. Moreover, smooth restoration surfaces minimize the accumulation of plaque, and carefully created margins reduce the occurrence of secondary caries.

Indication

• Suitable for adapting, shaping and contouring uncured packable composite and compomer materials in Class III, IV and V restorations and direct laminate veneers.

• Easy adaptation:

  • Non-stick properties: reduce the stickiness of the composite versus the instrument
  • Compatibility: attachments are suitable for both instruments
  • Working angles are adjusted to the anterior and posterior regions

  Professional esthetics:

  • No marks left by the instrument on the restoration surface
  • Reduction of air inclusions in the composite during application
  • Homogeneous surface texture

  High efficiency:

  • Efficient, easy contouring due to specially adjusted attachment shapes
  • Reduced effort in finishing and polishing

  • Application in the dental office

    STEP 1:

  • Select the appropriate OptraSculpt or OptraSculpt Pad attachment, depending on the size of the restoration and the area in which it will be employed

  • STEP 2:

  • Remove the attachment from the packaging either directly or indirectly (e.g. using sterile tweezers), ensuring freedom from contamination

  • STEP 3:

  • Then insert the attachment into the ring-shaped end of the hand-held instrument

  • STEP 4:

  • The colour-coded OptraSculpt attachments are supplied correctly aligned in refill boxes, so that they can be taken up directly with the instrument

  • STEP 5:

  • To attach the disc-shaped OptraSculpt Pad attachments, place them flat on a firm, contamination-free working surface.
