Frequently Asked Questions
Admira Fusion x-tra FAQ
Does the conventional restorative workflow used with traditional composites apply when using Admira Fusion x-tra?
Yes. Despite Admira Fusion x-tra's nano-ORMOCER matrix (as opposed to a traditional composite's resin monomer-based matrix), the process of placing the restoration is the same.
Will my current resin-based bonding agent that I use with my resin-based traditional composite restoratives work with Admira Fusion x-tra?
In general yes. Admira Fusion x-tra works with all resin-based bonding agents utilized in the light-cured mode. It is used in the adhesive technique with a dentin-enamel bond. So all light-cured resin-based adhesives can be used. Follow the respective instructions-for-use with regard to preparation (etching technique) and application.
Do I need to layer Admira Fusion x-tra in 2mm increments?
No. Admira Fusion x-tra has a 4mm depth of cure thus it can be placed in bulk up to 4mm or layered in increments.
What is the depth-of-cure of Admira Fusion x-tra?
4mm
Is Admira Fusion x-tra radio-opaque?
Yes. Admira Fusion x-tra is 300 %Al double the required percentage for radiopacity.
What kind of curing light should I use with Admira Fusion x-tra?
Conventional LED or halogen polymerization devices are suitable for light-curing the material.
How long does Admira Fusion x-tra need to be light cured?
When using an LED-/halogen light with a minimum light output of 800 mW/cm² the curing time is 20 seconds, with a minimum light output of 500 mW/cm² the curing time is 40 seconds. Hold the light emission tip of the device as close as possible to the surface of the filling. Otherwise, the curing depth may be reduced. Incomplete curing may lead to discoloration and discomfort.
