Description
OptraSculpt Pad is a modelling instrument designed for the intraoral adapta-
tion, shaping and contouring of uncured packable composite filling materials.
OptraSculpt Pad consists of an autoclavable handheld instrument and single-
use disc-shaped attachments (pads) in diameters ranging from 4 to 6 mm.
The handheld instrument contains a metal spatula on one working end and a
holding ring on the other. The single-use disc-shaped attachments, which are
made of soft, highly flexible synthetic foam material, are inserted into the
holding ring. These OptraSculpt Pad attachments allow users to contour pack-
able composite restorations quickly and effectively without encountering
stickiness between the instrument and composite. This presents a clear ad-
vantage, particularly in the fabrication of large Class III, IV and V restorations
and direct laminate veneers. Reference scales on the handheld instrument
assist in establishing appropriate symmetries, tooth width proportions and
alignments when creating a restoration with composite materials.
Composition
– The OptraSculpt Pad attachments consist of polyethylene and EVA.
– The handheld instrument consists of stainless steel and PEEK.
Indication
Suitable for adapting, shaping and contouring uncured packable composite
and compomer materials in Class III, IV and V restorations and direct
laminate veneers.
Contraindication
The use of OptraSculpt Pad is contraindicated
– if the stipulated working technique cannot be applied;
– if a patient is known to be allergic to any of the components of
OptraSculpt Pad.
Side effects
None known to date
Application
– NOTE – Brush NEW instruments with soapy water, rinse and dry. Then,
carry out a complete hygiene cycle (see "Disinfection, cleaning and
sterilization").
– Make sure to use only OptraSculpt Pad attachments and instruments that
are in impeccable mechanical and hygienic conditions.
– Make sure to insert the OptraSculpt Pad attachments into the instrument
correctly to achieve a tight fit.
– Do not use damaged instruments and attachments.
Select either a 4 mm or 6 mm OptraSculpt Pad attachment, depending on the
size of the restoration. Using sterilized tweezers, remove the attachment from
the packaging and place it flat on a firm, contamination-free working surface.
Next, slide the holding ring over the body of the attachment, applying pres-
sure, until the ring sits flat on the basis of the attachment.
