News Feature Preserving tooth structure: from individual prophylaxis to flowable injection 28. okt 2025 Interview with Dr. Ludivine Facon Individual prophylaxis, early defect detection and treatment, minimally invasive restorative techniques: In her joint dental practice in Anstaing, France, Dr. Ludivine Facon does everything in her power to keep her patients’ teeth healthy for their lifetime. When we met her at the International Dental Show in Cologne, where she was a speaker for Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., we asked her to share information about her treatment philosophy and how flowable injection fits into her overall approach. Your treatment philosophy seems to be minimally invasive. Would you please tell us a bit more about it? Ever since I started treating patients, my priority has always been to preserve the dental tissues and to be as minimally invasive as possible when restoration is required. My interest in prevention started with my thesis in 2000, which focused on oral health prevention in Quebec, Canada, a country where prophylactic care is an integral part of dental treatment. I have always been highly interested in individual prophylaxis, which naturally led me to focus on minimally invasive treatments. My goal is to stay as low as possible on the therapeutic gradient, always thinking about the long-term benefits for the patient. What are the benefits of this approach for your practice? Integrating prophylaxis for every patient into my practice allows me to work with excellent surface conditions for bonding. The oral environment is sanitized before applying conservative restorations, and carious lesion removal is kept to a minimum. When defects – be it a carious lesion or severe tooth wear – are present, I use the following instruments and materials that allow for truly minimally invasive interventions: Rondoflex 50-micron sandblaster to roughen the surface, Micro diamond burs to remove what is necessary, Layered composites for single-tooth restorations, Injected composites when multiple teeth are involved. Case predestined for composite injection, as multiple teeth in the maxilla need to be treated (smile makeover). What dental materials do you use for your restorative procedures? I am a hands-on dentist, and in my daily practice, I strictly follow surface preparation and bonding protocols recommended for CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). In addition, I use high-quality composites from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. For layering, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Premium Enamel and Dentin are my got-to solution, while I use CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Low for injection. What are the benefits of a conservative approach for your patients? Patients appreciate the fact that my treatment approach is as conservative as possible while still allowing for easy reintervention if necessary, preserving as much healthy dental tissue as possible. Another significant advantage is the moderate cost, which makes the treatment more accessible. How does composite injection fit into this philosophy? This technique allows for an easy reconstruction of multiple teeth by transferring a wax-up designed in the lab into the mouth via an injection of modern flowable composite into a transparent silicone index. Patients like this technique because it is aesthetic, reliable, reproducible and minimally invasive. A major advantage is that it allows for touch-ups and repairs, making it a reassuring solution. In some cases, no tooth preparation is needed at all—we simply add material, making the whole treatment truly non-invasive. Why do you think this technique is promising? It is a trendy and promising technique because: It is non-invasive --> preserves tissues --> aligns with minimally invasive dentistry. It is predictable --> due to the index, the technique is reproducible. It is easier than traditional layering --> saves chair time and improves patient comfort. It is cost-effective --> a cheaper alternative to ceramic veneers. It allows for repairs at any time, making it a reassuring option. How did you proceed before knowing this technique? In the anterior region, I used traditional composite layering with a wax-up and a palatal silicone index. It allowed me to rebuild the palatal wall and provide for precise incisal edge placement. In the posterior region, I used inlays, onlays, or overlays made of lab-processed reinforced composite or lithium disilicate. Transparent silicone index with injection hole used to inject the flowable composite and restore the tooth to its planned shape. What made you start using the new technique? There has been an explosion in demand for smile enhancements, especially among young adults. The composite injection technique is an appealing alternative for reshaping smiles in young patients with intact teeth but unsatisfactory size or shape. It is less invasive than veneers, which have gained popularity due to social media trends, but often require significant tooth preparation. How did you proceed in the beginning? I first discovered the technique in a specialized journal in 2019, then trained myself using online tutorials. Of course, there were some trial-and-error moments, but it is a very accessible technique—even for beginners. To achieve optimal results, I believe that proper case selection and treatment planning are key. One of the most important preconditions for aesthetic outcomes is that the patient’s teeth have a simple shade structure. If the shade structure of the teeth is complex or the required restoration is large, it is better to layer the dentin before injecting the enamel. Moreover, it is essential to produce two models in the wax-up phase, not just one: An “intermediate wax-up model” with every other tooth featuring the wax-up, while the remaining teeth remain unmodified. The second is a “full wax-up model” with all teeth reshaped. Considering these aspects, it is possible to obtain great outcomes quite quickly. The learning curve is steep, however – as with every new technique to be implemented – you need to step out of your comfort zone. Apart from CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 and CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Low you already mentioned, what instruments and materials do you use? For treatment planning including the wax-up, I use digital technology via Smilecloud, but a traditional wax-up works just as well. The production of the silicone index is the most delicate part when doing it in-house. I recommend using EXACLEAR (GC), the only truly effective transparent silicone currently available. Adjacent teeth are isolated with PTFE tape. Finishing instruments that have proven their worth are: Scalpel Blade No. 12, 3M™ Sof-Lex™ Contouring and Polishing Discs (Solventum), Red-ring fine diamond burs, TWIST™ DIA for Composite polishers (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). Intermediate wax-up model: One tooth with wax-up followed by one tooth without. Full wax-up model. Do you believe that the quality of the outcome is affected by the composite material you use? Absolutely! New high-filled flowable composites, like CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Low, offer excellent mechanical properties and polishability, making them very promising. Highly aesthetic treatment outcome after injection of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Low. What material characteristics impact overall quality? First of all, the optical properties or shade matching ability of the material are crucial. I like the fact that I can select from a variety of shades when using CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow. Once the right shade is selected and the thickness of the injected layer does not exceed 1 mm, the optical properties of the restorations may be expected to be exceptional. Moreover, we need a material with great flow properties (fluid, but not too runny), which is virtually void-free. I prefer using low viscosity flowable composites like CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Low (two other flowabilities – HIGH and SUPER LOW – are also available). The physical properties (mechanical strength) and polishability plus polish retention are also important. They are usually excellent with premium flowable composites. What are your most important clinical tips and tricks? For beginners: Press firmly on the cervical area of the silicone index to reduce excess material upon removal. Finish the proximal area thoroughly before moving to the next injection step. This way, you provide for perfect key positioning for the following teeth. If you follow the protocol, the technique is very beginner friendly! What is your opinion about the emerging hybrid "layering & injection" technique? This hybrid technique complicates the original injection technique, which is meant to simplify composite restorations. However, it is very useful in cases where aesthetic complexity requires layering. For maximum mimicry with this technique, I would love to have injectable composites in an enamel shade at my disposal. Would you please share your final thoughts with us? Take your time planning! Observe, document, take photos, use digital tools! Less is more. Dr. Facon, thank you very much!

Micro-layering with CERABIEN™ MiLai 14. okt 2025 Case by Andreas Chatzimpatzakis A CONCEPT EVEN FOR AESTHETICALLY DEMANDING CASES The micro-layering technique is regarded as a more efficient, streamlined approach used as an alternative for full porcelain layering. It requires aesthetic, high-strength ceramics like lithium disilicate or zirconia as a base and – ideally – a set of porcelains specifically designed for reduced layer thicknesses that allows users to focus on imitating the characteristics of enamel. A high-quality example is CERABIEN™ MiLai (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). Consisting of a set of internal stains and porcelains with a firing temperature of just 740 °C and a coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of 9.5~11.0×10-6/K (50 °C – 500 °C), this product works well on lithium disilicate and zirconia. Its aesthetic potential is surprisingly high: Depending on case-specific requirements, users are given the choice between maximum efficiency using a single-bake technique and maximum aesthetics achieved with more complex layering. The latter option is demonstrated below using the example of six maxillary anterior veneers. Fig. 1. Lithium disilicate frameworks (Amber Press) on the model. Fig. 2. CERABIEN™ MiLai Value Liner 1 applied to the framework. This porcelain is typically used on lithium disilicate for wash baking. Fig. 3.

TRULY BEAUTIFUL OUTCOMES POSSIBLE This case example reveals that CERABIEN™ MiLai is much more than just a maximum-efficiency solution: With the current line-up of porcelains and internal stains, truly beautiful restorations can be produced. Hence, users are given high flexibility regarding not only the high-strength framework material they prefer, but also the effort and time they would like to invest. This makes CERABIEN™ MiLai a versatile porcelain system that meets many needs and covers a wide range of applications in the dental laboratory.

News Feature Vastates teie vajadustele 10. okt 2025 Kaasaegses hambaravis on suur nõudlus materjalide järele, mis ühendavad käsitsemismugavuse ja efektiivsuse esteetiliste ning vastupidavate tulemustega. Sellised materjalid aitavad hambaarstidel saavutada soovitud tulemusi tõhusamalt, võimaldades neil pühendada rohkem aega patsientidega suhtlemisele. Direktsete restauratiivsete ravimeetodite puhul mõjutab valitud vaigukomposiit oluliselt nii protseduuride lihtsust kui ka lõpptulemuse kvaliteeti. Seetõttu on universaalsed pastatüüpi komposiidid, nagu CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES-2 Universal (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.), muutumas üha populaarsemaks. Sama ettevõte on toonud turule ka voolava komposiidi CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal, mis pakub sarnaseid eeliseid. Need on esitatud allpool vastustena teil tekkida võivatele küsimustele. Kuidas saavutada esteetilisi ja vastupidavaid restauratsioone, säilitades samas voolava materjali kasutusmugavuse?

Täiteaine sisaldus 78 mass% / 60 mahu%. Röntgenkontrastsus 150% Al. Mis on CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal? CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal on valguskõvastuv röntgenkontrastne komposiit, mis on ette nähtud kasutamiseks erinevates kliinilistes olukordades ning on saadaval kahes viskoossuses ja kahes toonis. See põhineb nanotäiteosakeste tehnoloogial, mis tagab kontrollitud voolavuse, hea läike püsivuse ja loomuliku välimusega restauratsioonid. Komposiidi sulandumine hambastruktuuri saavutatakse tänu emaililaadse läbipaistvuse, dentiinilaadse värvsuse ja valgusdifusiooni tehnoloogia (LDT) nutika kombinatsiooni abil. Emaililaadne läbipaistvus võimaldab valgusel materjalist läbi tungida, parandades selle värvi sobitumist ümbritsevasse hambastruktuuri. LDT muudab restauratsioonid valguse hajutamisel sarnaseks emaili ja dentiiniga. Koos täpselt tasakaalustatud värvsusega aitavad need omadused tagada materjali sujuva optilise sulandumise ümbritsevasse hambastruktuuri. Kus saab CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universali kasutada? See voolav komposiit on ette nähtud väga erinevateks restauratiivseteks kasutusvajadusteks. Võimaldades kõike alates I–V klassi restauratsioonidest kuni aukude ja fissuuride sulgemise ning parandusteni sobib see materjal nii konservatiivseteks kui ka ulatuslikeks raviskeemideks. CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universali saab kasutada järgmistel juhtudel. Direktseteks restauratsioonideks kõikide kaviteediklasside korral ning hambakaela kahjustuste (nt juurepinna kaaries, V-kujulised defektid), hammaste kulumise ja erosiooni raviks. Kaviteedi aluskihina / lainerina. Hammaste asendi ja kuju korrigeerimine (nt diasteemi sulgumine, hammaste väärareng). Murdunud restauratsioonide suuõõnesiseseks parandamiseks. Kuidas toimub toonide valik? CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universaliga on sobiva tooni leidmine ülimalt lihtne. Kaks üksteist täiendavat tooni – universaalne (U) ja universaalne tume (UD) – võimaldavad toone sobitada lihtsalt ja intuitiivselt, ilma et toonijuhendit oleks vaja kasutada. Toon U sobib enamikeks esi- ja tagahammaste restauratsioonideks. UD annab parima tulemuse tumedama tooniga hammaste puhul (B3 ja tumedamad), kui ümbritsevat hambakude on vähe, sealhulgas III ja IV klassi kaviteetide korral. Saate valida kõige sobivama tooni kaviteedi klassi ja patsiendi vanuse põhjal. Värvi sobitamine esi- ja tagahammaste restauratsioonidega. Mis on CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universali toime taga? Selle koostises on mitmeid kliinilist tõhusust toetavaid omadusi. Nanotäiteosakeste tehnoloogia: optimaalse täiteaine sisaldus vähendab kahanemist, parandab kulumiskindlust ja säilitab pikaajalise läike. Universaalse tooni kohandumisvõime: sobitub visuaalselt ümbritseva hambakoega, lihtsustades toonide valikut. Tiksotroopne käsitsemine: voolab lisamisel surve all, kuid jääb asendis stabiilseks, võimaldades täpset pealekandmist. Miks valida CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal? Arstid võivad eelistada CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universali, sest see võimaldab: prognoositavat kasutamist ja pealekandmist; esteetilisi tulemusi nii esi- kui ka tagahammaste restauratsioonidel; kulumis- ja pinna lagunemiskindlust; röntgenkontrastsust, mis võimaldab täpset radiograafilist hindamist; paindlikkust erinevate restauratiivsete vajaduste korral. Kuidas kasutada CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universalit? Kasutamine on lihtne ja sobitub tavapärasesse kliinilisse töövoogu. Valmistage preparatsioon ja isoleerige piirkond.
