final "enamel" shade placement, custom staining with appropriate compatible stains
may be accomplished per manufacturer's instructions. Apply final layer, slightly
overfilling and covering all margins. Replace die into articulated model. Establish all
external, proximal and occlusal contacts and anatomy. Slight lubrication of adjacent
and opposing model teeth is recommended. Cure briefly (10 seconds) with hand-
held visible curing light unit to fix contours. Remove die with restoration, place in
Triad Unit for final 2 minute curing.
4.3 When removing restoration from die, it may be necessary to scrape die stone away
from restoration margins, to prevent accidental chipping of restoration. Clean any
residual die stone from restoration. Carefully trim away visible flash beyond
preparation margins with acrylic bur.
4.4 Gently sandblast the internal surfaces with 50m alumina abrasive. Remove visibly
undercut material.
4.5 Seat restoration onto preparation of uncut master cast, making adjustments as
needed. Check for marginal integrity and overall fit and contour. Additional
increments may be added if needed by roughening surface and applying compatible
adhesive per manufacturer's instructions, followed by placement and light curing as
outlined above.
5. Finishing and Polishing (laboratory): Complete as outlined in the above Finishing and
Polishing Section, Step 7, for Direct Restorations.
6. Cementation: Recommended cementation technique is bonding using a dual cure
adhesive and esthetic resin cement such as Calibra
Prime&Bond
®
NT
™
Dual Cure Universal Dental Adhesive System. Follow adhesive and
cement manufacturer's instructions for prepared tooth and restoration surface
pretreatments.
7. Adjusting, Finishing and Polishing (clinically): Following cementation, make all necessary
occlusal adjustments and polish any clinically adjusted surfaces as outlined in the above
Finishing and Polishing Section, Step 7, for Direct Restorations.

4.2 Cleaning and Disinfection of TruMatch
The TruMatch
®
shade guide holder and individual tabs may be cleaned by scrubbing with
hot water and soap or detergent.
1. The shade guide holder and individual tabs if exposed spatter or spray of body fluids or
that may have been touched by contaminated hands, or oral tissues, should be
disinfected with a hospital-level disinfectant. Acceptable disinfectants are EPA-registered
as tuberculocidal. Disinfect the shade guide holder and individual tabs by spraying the
shade guide holder and individual tabs with any recommended hospital-level dual or
synergized quaternary ammoniums or immersing in hospital-level disinfectant such as
dual or synergized quaternaries or glutaraldehyde for the contact time recommended by
the disinfectant manufacturer for optimum results. Spraying with glutaraldehyde is not
recommended. Chlorine based (bleach), some phenolic-based agents and iodophor-
based products should not be used as they may cause surface staining and/or color
alteration. Agents containing organic solvents, such as alcohol, should be avoided, as
they may tend to dissolve the plastic. Water-based disinfectant solutions are preferred.
The disinfectant manufacturer's directions should be followed properly for optimum
results.
2. Following disinfection, thoroughly rinse and dry the TruMatch
individual tabs before storage. Autoclaving the TruMatch
individual tabs is not recommended.
