Zhermack Elite Glass

Transparent vinylpolysiloxane (a-silicone) for matrix

Features

• High transparency of the material
• Excellent photopolymerization of the composite used for restoration
• High-quality standards of the aesthetic restoration
• The versatility of use.
• Easy to reposition in the mouth after setting.

Description

Elite glass is an additional silicone specific for the creation of transparent matrices for aesthetic reconstructions in light-curing composite, with direct technique and indirect technique. Its high transparency and correct processing time make it particularly effective for dyschromia, a diastema, fractures, rotation, conoids, and other types of dental malformations.

• Medium-bodied clear addition silicone.
• Used for making a clear matrix, which can be light-cured through when preparing veneers.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Precise because dimensionally stable over time and after disinfection
• High final hardness (70 Shore A)
• Easily repositionable in the mouth once polymerized
• After polymerization can be finished with cutters or other sharp tools.

APPLICATIONS

• Creation of transparent matrices for the veneering technique

Direction to Use

DEVICE PREPARATION:

Assemble the device.
Warning: Before assembling the tip, ensure that the two components (base and catalyst) flow out evenly by applying light pressure on the dispenser lever and extruding a small amount of material, which must be removed. Subsequently, insert the mixing tip and, if required, the intraoral tip in the cartridge (4).

CREATION OF A TRANSPARENT MATRIX:

• Choose a transparent impression tray (e.g. Zhermack hi tray light clear) of suitable dimensions which can contain at least 2 or 3mm of elite glass at minimum thickness.
• Apply elite glass onto the impression tray.
• Position the impression tray in the mouth until the end of the setting time.
• Remove the impression tray from the mouth, rinse under running water and dry the resulting matrix by gently blowing with air.
• Prepare the tooth or teeth according to the chosen technique.
• Treat the enamel and dentine according to the suggestions of the manufacturer of the chosen composite.
• Apply the composite onto the matrix previously prepared with elite glass.
• Reposition the elite glass matrix in the mouth.
• Polymerize according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE MATRIX

• After having been rinsed well under running water, the matrix can be disinfected immediately.
  Ideal disinfecting is achieved by immersing the impression in Zeta 7 solution (Zhermack) or spraying it with Zeta 7 spray (Zhermack). When using other disinfectants, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTING THE DISPENSER

• The dispenser can be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized by immersion in liquid or in a steam autoclave. We recommend Zeta 3 (Zhermack) disinfectant and Zeta 2 (Zhermack) sterilization liquid.

Warranty

• Warranty is not applicable for this product.
