Prevent Shade Remakes- saving time and money!

When placing LUMINEERS, you can be assured of a perfect match to adjacent teeth or existing restorations when you use the Cerinate Shade Modification System II. The Cerinate Shade Modification System II is the only resin color modifier and opaquer system available that allows for total color, translucency and opacity control of porcelain and composite restorations. By using these shade modifiers, you can be assured of success when you need to enhance your porcelain veneers and composites to create a polychromatic appearance to your restorations.

The Shade Modification System by Cerinate® provides a
selection of colors and opaquers to assure success in obtaining
the most desirable, polychromatic shading of natural teeth,
composite fillings, porcelain jackets, or veneers. Use Cerinate
Shade Modifiers in a variety of ways • mask discoloration and
characterize composite or porcelain restorations • characterize
teeth directly with the layer-and-blend technique and then veneer
with a microfill such as Virtuoso® Sculptable • slightly modify
direct restorative composites for matching natural dentition • or
provide occlusal staining or mock gingival tissue.
DIRECTIONS
The following directions refer to several products not included in this
kit. Materials referred to below are available in other Den-Mat® kits
or individually.
Mixing
1. Blend shades necessary to achieve the desired color (see enclosed
Guidelines for Color Correction). Use Cerinate Clear to reduce the
intensity, if necessary. Shades may be blended on a mixing pad
prior to placement or on the tooth prior to curing.
Direct Composite Restorations
1. Apply a bonding agent. (Tenure® is recommended).
2. Apply Cerinate Shade Modifier to the surface using a sable brush
or a fine-tipped instrument. If the surface match is not acceptable,
remove the modifier with a brush, mix again and re-apply. When
acceptable, light cure (see Step 3).
3. We recommend that you use the curing rings provided to
determine the proper curing time for your light.
a. Place the composite into the well of the ring, and then level
the composite.
b. Position the light guide approximately 2 to 5 mm from the
surface of the ring.
• If you are using a Sapphire® Plasma Arc Curing Light, start
with a 5-second interval.
• If you are using an Allegro High-Intensity LED or Phase II
High-Speed Halogen Light, start with a 10-second interval.
• If you have a conventional halogen light, start with 30 seconds.
c. Use a dental probe to check the underside for completeness
of cure.
d.If necessary, repeat the curing cycle until the underside of the
sample is completely cured.
e. Maintain a log showing the time necessary to cure your favorite
composites, including their shades.
Note: For restorations that are deeper than 2 mm, and if you are not
using a dual cure material, an incremental placement technique is
recommended.
Porcelain Bonded Restorations
1. Layer Cerinate® Shade Modifiers onto a silanated porcelain
restoration followed by Ultra-Bond®. The modifiers can also be
mixed directly with Ultra-Bond to achieve the desired shades.
The modified shade of Ultra-Bond can then be placed in the
restoration. Proceed with cementation.
TETRAPAQUE® DIRECTIONS
1. On a mixing pad or dappen dish, mix equal parts of the
TetraPaque shade of choice and TetraPaque Dual-Cure Initiator.
2. To the prepared tooth, apply the mixed, dual-cure TetraPaque with
a fine sable brush. Apply as thinly and smoothly as possible to
mask the discoloration.
3. Apply and seat the Cerinate LUMINEERS® (or other ceramic
veneer) with Ultra-Bond Plus luting composite inside the veneer.
4. Cure for the time determined in Step 3 of the Direct Composite
Restorations section.
TETRAPAQUE PINK DIRECTIONS
TetraPaque Pink neutralizes dark stains such as tetracycline stains
and results in a warmer, natural color.
1. Apply TetraPaque Pink to the treated tooth surface using a sable
brush.
2. Blend TetraPaque Pink and observe the color.
3. Light cure TetraPaque Pink once the desired shade is achieved.
4. Proceed with bonding of composites or porcelain veneers.
SPECIAL TIPS
For additional information, refer to Guidelines for Color
Correction located in the TetraPaque kit.
1. To neutralize yellow, orange, or yellow-orange stains, use violet,
blue, blue-violet Shade Modifiers, or some combination of these.
(There is no formula, but the Cerinate Shade Modifiers, Ultra-
Bond and TetraPaque are sure to offer a combination that works
for you).
2. A low-value yellow (gray-yellow) can be neutralized by violet (to
neutralize the yellow) and white (either Cerinate Shade Modifier
White or TetraPaque Enamel) to raise the value, therefore, a light
violet would be employed.
STORAGE:
Avoid exposure to temperatures exceeding 75°F (24°C).
Do Not expose to direct sunlight.
Do Not freeze.
