Veneer-up
The novo.lign A and novo.lign P veneers support planning and the
transfer and are used for the definitive veneer. The same veneers are
used for the working steps starting with the set-up and the esthetic
try-in, to orientation during waxing up the framework until the
preparation of the definitive restoration.

Tooth shade, tooth size and tooth position as well as some esthetic
aspects are already determined when selecting the right tooth from
the assortment of different designs and shades.

Dentist and dental technician are able to fulfill the individual wishes
of their patients and involve them in the design process of their
future restorations.

The prepared veneer-up is the basis for the esthetic appearance


and the function. It supports dentists and dental technicians in their
communication and preparation efforts for the entire prosthetic
restoration. Wishes of patients are fulfilled and future corrections are
avoided.

The central task is the check of the set-up of the teeth under esthetic,
functional and phonetic aspects which can be carried out on the
prepared stumps or after the fabrication of the primary crowns.

Esthetic try-in

A vacuum formed splint is used as a carrier of the esthetic try-in.


Just like in the visio.lign film „The Movie“, the base of bite regis-
tration can be used for the set-up of the esthetic try-in.

The cervical margin of the novo.lign anterior and posterior veneers


is ground to adapt their length and preparation border to the space
available.

Adequate space for the framework design must be ensured before


fixing the veneers. To create a perfect shade, a joint of 0.2 mm is
required.

The veneers are set up on the base using tooth-colored wax and the
wax-up is completed.

During try-in of the restoration, bite position, tooth shape, tooth


position, tooth shade and phonetics are checked and if necessary,
corrections are performed.

A silicone key is used to fix the set-up. The veneers are removed


from the base of the esthetic restoration and placed into the silicone
key. Then the space available for the secondary structure is
checked.

Framework design and conditioning

The set-up obtained from the esthetic try-in facilitates framework


design considerably. Retentions can be perfectly placed onto the
veneering surface of the framework to save space and ensure the
function. A slender design of the wax-up is required for the metal
framework to meet the requirements of phonetics and esthetics.
Dimensions of 0.2 - 0.3 mm for the application of the opaque
material and the adhesive joint must be adhered to.

After casting, finishing, fitting and polishing, the position of the


veneer in the key in front of the framework is checked and necessary
corrections are performed.

Use Al2O3 (110 - 125 µm) to sandblast the framework at a pressure


of 2.5 to 3.5 bars. Then the metal surface is conditioned with the
Silano-Pen or metal primer. The instructions of the respective manu-
facturer must be observed!

Apply opaque material and polymerize in accordance with the in-


structions for use; if required apply several thin layers until the metal
substructure is completely covered.

When using tooth-colored framework materials, such as Bio XS


(thermopress 400), visio.link is used for conditioning. Silano-Pen is
used for conditioning zirconium dioxide frameworks and the bond-
ing agent is applied subsequently.

The use of retention beads results in improved mechanical bonding


and ensures the durability of the restoration.

These processing steps are referred to several times within these


instructions for use; they must be completed correspondingly.
• sandblast novo.lign veneers with Al2O3 (110 µm) at a pressure
of 2.5 – 3.5 bars or roughen the surface using a tungsten
carbide bur (enlarge the surface).
• apply visio.link primer and polymerize in the Uni XS unit /
Heraeus Kulzer for 90 sec or in the UV light-curing unit (e.g.
Polylux) for 4 min.

Note:
Polymerization is completed when the visio.link primer has dried
after exposure to UV light, i.e. the sticky coat/layer has been
removed. Required wavelength range: 370 - 400 nm.
LED devices without UVA rays are not suitable.

Refer to the instructions of the manufacturer on the exchange


intervals for the light-curing units; these intervals must be adhered to.

When bonding, it must be ensured that all surfaces which are to be


bonded using resin/composite later on, need to be sandblasted and
conditioned with visio.link.

It is recommended to apply visio.link slightly beyond the sandblasted


surface. visio.link is removed from the surfaces which have not been
sandblasted when finishing the restoration.

Note:
Bonding can only be achieved by sandblasting or roughening and
by the subsequent application of visio.link and polymerization in the
light-curing unit.

Luting
combo.lign is applied to the veneer in a way to wet the entire
conditioned surface and to achieve maximum adhesion. Luting can
be carried out in the following way:
• During manual luting, affix the veneer to the framework, carefully
remove excess material and then polymerize with the light-curing
unit, for example bre.Lux Power Unit (desktop unit) - 180 seconds.
• Radiation with a suitable light-curing unit (e.g. bre.Lux N (hand
lamp)) for approx. 10 sec are sufficient for fixation. If an opaque sili-
cone is used, a hole of 2-3 m in the matrix (key) is prepared to fix
the veneers. Final polymerization is carried out in the bre.Lux Power
unit or another suitable light-curing unit, see list of units.
• If luting is to be completed in a single step, it is recommended to
use visio.sil as a transparent material. Fixation is carried out using
the hand lamp bre.Lux LED N or another suitable light-curing unit.

Finishing and individualizing

It is recommended to use the microfilled and elastic composite crea.


lign for shaping the approximal and cervical areas, which ensures
homogeneous color transitions and lasting resistance to plaque and
discoloration.

crea.lign is used for final shaping and the definitive design. The
material can be applied directly from the syringe or using a brush.
The use of crea-lign Modelling Liquid facilitates the application
with the brush and optimizes contouring of the interproximal spaces.

Bonding of the individual layers is ensured by the „smear layer“


(inhibition layer). If this layer is missing, conditioning must be
carried out with visio.link. This applies also to the transitions to the
veneer if they have not yet been conditioned.

The inhibition layer can be removed with isopropanol, which avoids


penetration into the surface and hence causes discoloration.

All crea.lign shades can be mixed with one another. Varios


incisal, neck, dentine and gingiva materials are available for
individualizing.

Note:
After modelling and intermediate polymerization, final polymeri-
zation must be carried out for at least 6 minutes in the Uni XS /
Heraeus Kulzer or the bre.Lux Power unit.

Finishing and completing
When applying the material, the layer thickness of crea.lign should
not exceed 1 mm (without intermediate polymerization). To ensure
maximum bond strength of veneers with a thickness of more than
2 mm, combo.lign is applied from the basal direction.

We recommend tungsten carbide burs for finishing and grinding.


Diamond-coated rotary tools cause irreversible roughness on the
surfaces and are not recommended.

A soft goat-hair brush with pumice or Acrypol must be used for the
first polishing process. The speed should not be above 3000 rpm
(handpiece).

Use Abraso-Starglanz and a soft cotton or leather buff for final


polishing. The speed should not be above 5000 rpm (handpiece).

The inhibition layer can be removed with isopropanol to avoid


penetration into the surface. Inhition layer residues may cause
discoloration.

Thermoplastic forming

novo.lign veneers consist of highly abrasion-resistant, high-impact


PMMA and
are suitable for thermoplastic forming.

The required forming temperature is approx. 250 °C and should


be supplied uniformly across and somewhat beyond the entire
forming area.

Transblock is used to protect regions not to be formed.

Use: Set the Thermo-Pen to level 4 and heat for approx. 10-15 sec
while keeping a distance of approx. 1 cm to the veneer. The inner
side of the veneer should be heated.

Use a round tool or primary element to obtain the desired width or


size of the veneer.

Note:
Do not use an open flame to heat the veneers and make sure that
the temperature will not exceed 280 °C!
Improper handling will affect the product characteristics.

Important!

Adhere to the instructions for use of the respective product. The


data provided are reference values and based on units in perfect
condition. Lamps/light sources need to be checked in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and replaced if necessary; see
the following self-testing:

Note:

Polymerization of visio.link has been completed when the visio.


link primer is dry after exposure to UV light, i.e. the sticky layer is
removed.

Although combo.lign is a dual-curing material, polymerizing


with light is required to achieve utmost bonding strength. To check
whether a unit provides the required wavelength range, cure
combo.lign for approx. 10 sec. to see if the surface has hard-
ened. A layer with a thickness of 2 mm (test plate) should have
cured from both sides after 90 to 120 sec.

crea.lign should be checked with the GUM pink shade; full curing
of a test plate (thickness of 1 mm) should be achieved after 3 min.
or at least within half of the polymerization time given.
