TE-Econom Bond is a single-component bonding agent for enamel and dentin bonding in conjunction with the total-etch technique
- It is a popular product used in adhesive dentistry
- Composition:
- Te-Econom Bond consists of HEMA, di- and monomethacrylates, inorganic fillers, initiators and stabilizers in an alcohol solution
- Indications:
- Direct light-curing restorations
- Restorations of Class I to V cavities (small cavities of Class I and II for Te-Econom Flow)
- Restoration of deciduous teeth
- Application:
- Select the shade. For facilitated access to the treatment field, the flexible and patient-friendly mouth opener OptraGate can be used.
- Establish sufficient isolation, preferably with a rubber dam
- Prepare the cavity according to the requirements of the adhesive technique
- Clean the cavity with water spray
- Air dry the cavity
- Apply a pulp protector (calcium hydroxide) if needed; only cover areas close to the pulp and subsequently apply a pressureresistant cement
- Place a matrix and an interdental wedge, if required
- Apply a generous amount of Te-Econom Bond on enamel and dentin, using the enclosed applicator brush. Brush the material gently into the dentin for 10 seconds. Next, evaporate any remaining solvent with a slow stream of air. Lightcure the adhesive according to the curing time recommendations below. Ensure complete coverage of the preparation surface.
- Finish the restoration with suitable finishers or fine diamonds. Subsequently, check the occlusion. Polish with silicone polishers
- Warning:
- Unpolymerized Te-Econom Bond should not come in contact with skin/mucous membranes. The unpolymerized products may have an irritating effect and lead to sensitization against methacrylates.
- After contact of Te-Econom Bond with the eyes, immediately rinse with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and see a physician/ophthalmologist
- After skin contact with Te-Econom Bond, immediately rinse with soap and water. After contact with sensitive materials (surfaces, clothing), immediately clean with copious amounts of water.
- Commercial medical gloves do not provide protection against the sensitizing effect of methacrylates
