Dentek Essential Filling Material

Directions to replace a lost filling: Wash the cavity area with warm water and do not dry. Cut with spade tool or pinch a small amount of Essentials Temporary Repair from the vial, and roll into a ball between fingers. Slightly overfill the cavity with Essentials Temporary Repair and pack into place with applicator tool tip. Close your teeth together, as if you were biting down on a piece of paper, and gently chew or grind on the replaced filling a couple times to create a comfortable bite. Use a moist cotton swab to remove excess Essentials Temporary Repair from around the area. Moisture will accelerate the set. Essentials Temporary Repair will set softly in your tooth within a few minutes, but avoid chewing on the repair for 2-3 hours to allow the material to fully set. Directions to secure loose crowns, caps, or inlays: Try the crown, cap, or inlay first to see if you can fit it accurately back onto the tooth surface. If you are not able to do so, then do not proceed further. If the crown has a post attached to it or if there is tooth surface remaining inside the crown, Essentials Temporary Repair may not adhere. Carefully rinse the tooth area and the inside of the crown, cap, or inlay with warm water, and do not dry. Cut with spade tool or pinch a small amount of Essentials Temporary Repair from the vial, roll into a ball between fingers, and place evenly inside the crown, cap, or inlay. Place the crown, cap, or inlay on the tooth and bite down, applying pressure to push into position. Essentials Temporary Repair will begin to harden within a few minutes, but avoid chewing on the repair for at least 2-3 hours to allow the material to set. Use a toothbrush to gently clear any excess material from around the crown, cap, or inlay.
