This patient required the replacement of an insufficient composite restoration of the mandibular right second premolar. It was planned to restore the tooth using a combination of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow – Super Low A3 and CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Classic A3 with some tints. CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2 was the adhesive of choice. It produces a reliable chemical adhesion to dentin and enamel as it contains 10-MDP. The best results are obtained after selective enamel etching.
