When replacing amalgam restorations, we often see that the remaining tooth structure is severely stained. Nevertheless, a defect-oriented preparation is preferable over a procedure that involves the removal of healthy, but stained dentin as well. Long-lasting direct restorations with a natural look are obtained by using the universal adhesive CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ Flow as a cavity liner, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Premium Dentin to mask the stained areas and a final layer of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal. The following case example confirms that this product combination leads to a nice optical integration.
