Clinical Tips
- Give it time to flow into crevices before curing.
- Adapts into place well with an explorer.
- Make sure the tips used to dispense the material have a wide gauge so that less pressure can be applied to the syringe.
- Create cuspal inclines with the syringe.
- This composite can be dragged to a fine feather edge, making it easy to blend it into the adjacent tooth structure.
- It polished with a Brownie point to a clinically acceptable finish.
