More Single Tooth Isolation
Anterior Composites
A Townie offers colleagues a collection of impressive single tooth isolation anterior composite cases.
Fig. 1: Nineteen-year-old with leaky resin done by her pediatric dentist after ortho. Surpass, supreme and seam-free.
Fig. 2: From the lingual.
Fig. 3: Closer.
Fig. 4: Showing her the decay.
Fig. 5: Perfect isolation.
Fig. 6: Buildup prior to any trimming. This was bonded with Surpass, layers of different supreme. C-1 B as the base, A-1 E next with the incisal GT for the translucency. Then GT translucent over the A1E as enamel layer.
Fig. 8: I did take off more from the incisal after this photo. I think it came out pretty good for a hack like me.

Figs. 9-16: She is getting married next month in Key West. I told her to replace this a few years ago at her initial exam. I whitened her last month and now we are ready to bond.

Satch, beautiful work as usual. I recently started using rd for composites after years of using it only for endo. It makes life easy! Are you allowed to bill out the same sur-face twice like you did on numbers 9 and 10? Thanks for posting. ■
Great work… and really great showcase. Certainly a great technique for longevity. ■
Good work, Satch. Usually when I use the 212 retainer it won’t stay firm. How do you stabilize the retainer? Do you put some flowable on the lingual? ■
Fig. 35: Emergency patient… lucky I have six chairs. Her son wanted mommy to try his cookie… that’s her story.

Fig. 38: I had to lock the clamp with composite buttons. ■
Nice work, Satch. Are you using a mylar matrix and wedge for the interprox at all? ■Gary
Not usually a wedge but occasionally the gingival interproximal area needs a mylar. I take it out as soon as I cure the composite to build up the contact and contours.

Here is an older guy with some decay on the facial of #10, with a 30-year-old crown. Since I have a rubber dam on I can now etch the porcelain with Ultradent Porcelain Etch. I hate sandblasting in the mouth... yuck. The porcelain is then treated with Apex Interface fol-lowed by surpass 2 and 3. The filling was done with Injectafil from a Centrix needle tip. Almost zero finishing was needed.

Fig. 44: This is #7 on a case that we are doing implants on an accident to his centrals that I just posted. Someone asked if I ever needed a mylar. Deep decay like this for the gin-gival area. Then remove the mylar as in the picture after the mylar one.
Fig. 45: Mylar in place.
Fig. 46: Mylar removed.
Figs. 47-48: Lingual view before trimming.
Fig. 49: The tissue between 7 and 8 is bad because we just pulled #8 and grafted him last week. Cantilever pontic off of a fractured # 9. See my other thread about the trampoline.

Figs. 50-54: This guy is a contractor. He lost his balance while installing a toilet and kissed it. Not kidding. That’s his story.

What’s your technique for getting such nice contacts? ■
I just build the composite against the thin and stretched r.d. The contact is as long as I make it. Very different than a contact made with a mylar. It’s more like the contact you get with plumbers tape. ■
So you stretch the dam thin, place your composite, shape it and cure it, all while hold-ing the dam tight? ■
Sorry, no. I don’t need to hold the dam after it is stretched over the tooth. It is very thin. You just need to practice free-hand sculpting.

Crazy I keep getting these wrap around lesions…
Fig. 59: Another Pepsi please.
Fig. 60: This shot is for Dino…
Fig. 61: This is #7 as you can see #6 and 8 are prepped.
Fig. 62: #7 finished not trimmed.
Fig. 63: Building the contact for #8. As usual surpass, seam-free and Filtek Ultra.
Fig. 64: #6 isolated. Out the door a happy girl!

Figs. 65-66: I did this kid’s right side a couple of weeks ago… decay on 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and a rotted wizzy.
Fig. 67: # 9 with a 9 clamp.
Fig. 68: 9 unfinished.
Fig. 69: #7 with a 212.
Fig. 71: #11 loaded with sub g decay.
Fig. 72: #11 with a 9 clamp.
Fig. 73: And #16 with its goober. ■
Nice! Are you placing the rubber dam after you prep? Thanks. ■
Yes, otherwise I would tear the dam. I prep with a split dam in the posterior. ■
