Clinical Cases, Chairside Restoration of a molar’s occlusal surface using the stamp techniquer with CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow 15 de dez. de 2020 By Dr. Michał Sucholdolski This patient was concerned about the discoloration that had appeared on the occlusal surface of the mandibular left first molar. In an intraoral examination, caries was diagnosed in this area. As the occlusal surface was almost intact initially, it was decided to restore the tooth with resin composite using the stamp technique. For this purpose, the occlusal anatomy was recorded using CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow in the shade A3, which was stamped onto the occlusal surface and fixed to an applicator by light curing. Afterwards, the carious tissue was removed with the aid of caries-detector dye. Following cleaning of the prepared cavity and application of the bonding agent (CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2), CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow (A3) was applied to the cavity floor. The final occlusal layer was created with CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 in the shade A3. The stamp was used to transfer the original occlusal anatomy to the new surface before light curing. A natural gloss was obtained by polishing of the surface with the CLEARFIL™ Twist DIA system. Fig. 1. Initial clinical situation with an occlusal surface affected by caries. Fig. 2.
