“More than 70% of dentists say that simplicity is the most important criteria a finishing and polishing system needs to fulfill.3”
Enhance® Flex Finishing & Polishing System
The Enhance Flex system features flexible lamellas that adapt to every dental surface structure: anterior and posterior. So, you need only one shape for all your composite restorations. It’s that simple.
Brilliant polishing results and intuitive application deliver additional advantages. And because it is re-processable up to 10 times, you'll also save on waste and costs.
How to: Class IV restoration using Spectra ST and Enhance Flex instruments
Establish Clinical Starting Point
Begin the Class IV restoration by preparing the affected tooth. Ensure proper isolation and a clean working field.
Build Up the Palatal Shell
Use Spectra ST A2 Cloud Shade and D1 Opaque Dentin to build the palatal shell.
Carefully sculpt the materials to form the base structure of the restoration.
Apply the Vestibular Layer
Layer Spectra ST A2 Cloud Shade on the vestibular surface to mimic natural enamel.
Ensure precise placement to achieve an optimal esthetic result.
Sculpt the Vestibular Layer
Use your sculpting tools to refine the contours of the vestibular layer.
Pay attention to anatomical details for a seamless blend with surrounding dentition.
Finish the Restoration
Utilize the Enhance Flex Finishing Instrument to smooth and refine the restoration.
The recommended rotational speed for Enhance Flex is 3.000 – 8.000 RPMs. Maximum: 20.000 RPMs
Achieve High Gloss Polishing
Switch to the Enhance Flex Polishing Instrument to add a high-gloss finish.
This step delivers a polished, lifelike appearance for the restored tooth.
Final Result
Verify the esthetics and functionality of the restoration.
The final result should exhibit seamless integration, natural translucency, and high shine.
For natural looking esthetics that last, try SPECTRA ST1 composites and Enhance Flex
