Biljana Damceska, here is Dr. Mopper's response: "If there is sulcular fluid, just air dry gently to remove it and keep going with your procedure. Bleeding is all together a different story. If there is bleeding, you must use retraction cord."

Thank you for the answer. I translated the question that Сергей Бобёр asked,so you wouldn't wonder what it means :)

And still even if the gigiva is clinically healty, isn't there a sulcular fluid that will compromise the adhesion ?!

Biljana Damceska. It is a personal preference only. You can certainly use a retraction cord or rubber dam and execute the same technique. Thanks for your comment!

However, if you want to use a retraction cord that is operators preference. I recommend you take one of my classes at the CEE because I cover this topic in greater detail.

Sincerely,

Hello Doctor, I almost never use a rubberdam or a retraction cord when I am treating patients because I make sure that the gingiva is in good health before I start the restoration. I find that the gingival retraction cord can cause problems and get in the way so if there is no bleeding and the gingiva is in great health I opt not to use the retraction cord.

Why without retraction cord or rubberdam?

Thank you for your question. You are correct, the phosphoric acid should not be a problem if it is in brief contact with the gingival tissue for 15-20 seconds. You need the etch to reach beneath the free margin for the procedure.

The bonding agent is flooded but it must be air thinned after placement which will reduce any flash. In addition, the finishing and polishing procedure will ensure any removal of excess adhesive.

Most Sincerely,

Dr. K. William Mopper

I guess it is not a problem with the direct contact of the phosphoric acid on the gingiva because the acid is only in contact for 15-20 seconds then thoroughly rinsed. Is that correct? Also, I noticed that the bonding agent was flooded and made it's way onto the edge of the gingiva, and likely under the gingiva then you cured it. What about the cured bonding agent or uncured bonding agent that found its way under the gingiva?Do you just use a fine pointed diamond bur or curette to remov flash?
