the polymerization of restorative and
cementation materials for direct and
indirect restorations.

tion of adhesives, liners, and restora-
tive materials in areas near the pulp
when restoring Class V cavities.

1) Applies to a maximum layer thickness of 2 mm and provided that the Instructions for Use of the respective material do not state any other recommendation (might be the case, e.g. with dentin shades)
2) Applies to a maximum layer thickness of 4 mm and provided that the Instructions for Use of the respective material do not state any other recommendation (might be the case, e.g. with dentin shades)
3) Applies to a maximum layer thickness of 3 mm
4) Applies to light-curing (use of the base past only)
