Improving Trust, Value, and Diagnosis with Bioclear Dual Colour Disclosing Solution

On an average clinical day, it can be easy to start a procedure without following the proper steps. First, getting good documentation, and second, making sure the patient sees the value in the procedure, hence getting enough documentation for a third party involved.

In some locations, the third party-payers will request some sort of extra documentation. What is even more important is making sure the patient sees the procedure is in their best interest and feels compelled to receive  treatment. Simply let the pictures do the talking.

For this case, the patient had an open contact on the mesial of the lower right wisdom tooth, and their restoration had a structural crack in it. In the preoperative radiograph, the structural crack was not visible (Fig. 1). To satisfy all parties, Bioclear’s Dual Colour Disclosing was used to provide proper documentation.

A key and helpful step was to pre-wedge the tooth (Fig. 2). The prewedging technique with Bioclear diamond wedges is ahttps://gem-3910432.net great technique for Class II restorations and crown preparations. You can see an extra large Bioclear diamond wedge being used to deflect the soft tissue apically and protect the rubber dam. With the help of the Bioclear Diamond wedge and rubber dam, it created a hassle-free environment.

Bioclear’s Dual Colour Disclosing Solution stains biofilm - which cracks are full of - thus creating great documentation for all parties (Fig. 3). The Bioclear Dual Colour Disclosing Solution was used on the tooth to show the severity of the structural crack (Fig. 4).

By demonstrating that there is a structural crack in the composite, it helps to validate the necessity of the procedure to the patient and third party-payers.

Conclusion: It is important to remove biofilm (a buildup of bacteria, plaque, and other debris on teeth) before doing teeth restoration because biofilm can cause tooth decay and gum disease. If biofilm is present, it will continue to grow and cause damage to the restoration, leading to a shorter lifespan of the restoration. Additionally, biofilm can also cause post-operative infections which can be painful and require further treatment. By removing biofilm before doing teeth restoration, the chances of success for the restoration are increased and the risk of complications is decreased.
