COMPOSITION WAVE:

• 35% wt (52 Vol%) multifunctional methacrylic ester
• 65% wt (41 Vol%) (0.02 - 10 micron) inorganic filler

COMPOSITION WAVE MV:

• 40% wt (61 Vol%) multifunctional methacrylic ester
• 60% wt (39 Vol%) (0.02 - 10 micron) inorganic filler

• 1 x 1g Syringe
• 5 x disposable tips.

Cavity Preparation:

• Clean and isolate the tooth.
• Prepare a conservative cavity with standard techniques, ensuring slightly rounded internal form.
• Margins should end in sound and supported enamel without bevels in stress-bearing locations.
• Pre-wedge for an adequate contact point.

Prophylaxis:

• Prophy all surfaces to be etched with an oil-free, non-fluoride paste or pumice and water slurry.
• Rinse thoroughly with water.

Shade Selection:

• Make shade selection on a just cleaned and moist tooth.
• Avoid using uncured paste for color matching due to potential color change upon curing.

Isolation:

• Use isolation techniques, with a rubber dam, preferred to prevent contamination.

Pulp Protection:

• For deep cavities, employ a calcium hydroxide liner and glass ionomer cement liner for pulp protection.

Acid Etching:

• Dry the surface with dry, oil-free air.
• Etch enamel for at least 20 seconds, or dentin and enamel using the "total-etch" technique for at least 20 seconds.
• Enamel subjected to fluoridation should be etched for 90 to 120 seconds.

Wash Thoroughly:

• Wash the etched surface thoroughly with water.
• Remove excess water, keeping surfaces moist.

Adhesive Application:

• Apply Stae dentin/enamel adhesive or bonding.
• Blow gently with dry, oil-free air for 2 seconds to evaporate the solvent, leaving the surface glossy.

Light Cure:

• Light cure for 20 seconds using a high-power LED curing light (460-480nm wavelength).

Composite Application:

• Directly inject Wave in increments of 2mm or less for various indications (e.g., Class V restorations, pit and fissure sealants).
• Ensure the dispensing tip is firmly attached to the syringe.

Caution:

• Take caution to avoid acid contact with oral tissues, eyes, and skin.
• Use matrix strips to protect adjacent tooth surfaces during etching.
• Familiarize with the etchant’s viscosity and rate of extrusion, especially on first usage or after prolonged storage.
