Dentsply IRM Temporary Restorative

Dentsply IRM Temporary Restorative is a trusted and widely used dental material designed to provide reliable, interim solutions for various dental restorative needs. Whether you require a temporary sealant, filling, or cement, IRM offers dental professionals a versatile and durable option that stands the test of time. Known for its quality and effectiveness, Dentsply IRM has been a staple in the dental industry for many years, delivering peace of mind to both dentists and patients.

Key Features:

Long-Lasting Temporary Solution: Dentsply IRM is specifically formulated to provide long-lasting temporary restorations. It offers a dependable and durable solution, ensuring patients have the time they need for permanent dental work without the risk of material degradation.

Versatile Applications: IRM is suitable for various dental applications, including temporary fillings, crown and bridge cementation, and cavity liners. This versatility makes it a valuable tool in a dental practice, simplifying the need for multiple materials.

Easy Handling: Dental practitioners appreciate the ease of handling and manipulation of Dentsply IRM. The powder and liquid components are straightforward to mix, and the material can be quickly applied to the treatment area. This convenience streamlines the restorative process.

High Strength: IRM's high strength properties make it effective in withstanding the forces of mastication and providing a robust temporary solution. It ensures that the restoration remains intact and functional until permanent treatment is administered.

Thermal Insulation: The material offers good thermal insulation properties, protecting the tooth from temperature-related sensitivity and discomfort. This feature enhances patient comfort during the interim period.

Exothermic Setting Reaction: Dentsply IRM undergoes an exothermic setting reaction, which generates heat as it hardens. This heat can stimulate blood flow to the pulp, promoting healing and reducing the risk of post-operative pain.

Radiopaque: The radiopaque nature of IRM enables it to appear clearly on dental X-rays. This aids in diagnosis and monitoring of the restoration, ensuring proper placement and coverage.

Proven Clinical Performance: Dentsply IRM has a long history of clinical success. Dental professionals rely on its consistent performance and durability, making it a trusted choice for temporary restorations.

Patient Satisfaction: Patients benefit from the use of Dentsply IRM as it provides a secure and functional temporary solution that minimizes discomfort and inconvenience while awaiting permanent dental work.

Safe and Biocompatible: IRM is safe to use in the oral cavity and biocompatible, reducing the risk of adverse reactions or sensitivities in patients.

Cavity preparation
Isolate the field of operation in a preferred manner. A rubber dam is recommended.
Cavity preparation must provide for the mechanical retention of the product.
If caries are present, completely excavate using low-speed and/or hand instrumentation.
Place matrix and wedge where indicated.
Gently dry preparation with a cotton pellet. Avoid desiccation.
Pulp protection
In deep cavities cover the dentin close to the pulp (less than 1 mm) with a hard setting calcium hydroxide liner (Dycal calcium hydroxide liner, see complete Instructions for Use
Dispensing and mixing
Before dispensing, fluff powder (tumble the powder bottle) to assure uniform bulk density of contents. Fill the measuring scoop to excess without packing.
Level scoop with the bottle insert. Dispense two level scoops of powder onto a clean, non-absorbent mixing pad or glass slab. Larger restorations may require additional scoop(s).
Using the dropper cap, dispense three drops of liquid for two level scoops of powder. After dispensing the liquid, replace the original cap immediately to prevent evaporation and subsequent contamination.
Placement
Mixed material may be carried to the preparation with a suitable placement instrument. Adapt, contour, and shape with appropriate instruments. Technique Tip: Dipping the instrument into dry powder left on the pad before using to adapt the material will facilitate placement and minimize sticking.
Use as an intermediate restorative material
Trim excess material. Material may be smoothed by lightly burnishing. The initial set occurs approximately 5 minutes from the start of mixing. Increased temperature, humidity, and powder/liquid ratio may accelerate the setting.
Upon set, remove the matrix band if present. Check and adjust occlusion as needed. Additional carving or occlusal adjustment may be accomplished with a round bur. Avoid gouging material with sharp burs at high speed. Additional polishing is not recommended.
Periodically evaluate the intermediate restoration until the final restoration is indicated. The intermediate restoration should be removed and the final restoration completed within one year of placement.
Use as a protective base
The product is a protective base for non-resin-containing restorative material, such as amalgam or gold.
