3Introduction
Heraeus Kulzer invests in research and development of dental
products since many years. Venus® is the result of all experience
gained in the development of light-curing composites.
Excellent aesthetics are not simply a matter of chance or time-
consuming trial and error with Venus®. The excellent handling
properties, Color Adaptive Matrix, and 2Layer shade system
of Venus produce excellent aesthetics easily, quickly and reliably.
All products from Heraeus Kulzer are developed in cooperation
with universities worldwide. Only this continuous scientific
discussion allows the perception of the necessities of dentists and
patients and the study of the right solutions to these growing
demands.
2Out of this originates the formative proposal from Heraeus Kulzer
and the University of Brescia in Italy. Professor Antonio Cerutti,
responsible for the Department of Conservative Dentistry, and
his staff consented to build an informative document that allows
you to go step by step into the details of the restorative dentistry.
Aesthetics are nowadays a primary request from patients in all
dental specialities. To combine a result that is aesthetically
suitable to the patient with the necessary functionality and
longevity of a restoration, requires a deep knowledge of various
ambits: adhesion, stratification, colour, polymerisation, finishing
and polishing.
The Venus® Step by Step Guide supplies in a simple, quick
and intuitive way all those concepts that will lead to appreciable
improvements in the clinical day-to-day work.
Thank you for your attention and loyalty,

guarantee the work in a place free of humidity (the greatest enemy
of adhesive materials and composites), a greater concentration on
the operating field, and the highest level of safety for the patient.
The restorations should recreate the portion of the dental tissue
lost due to decay, erosion or trauma. It is therefore very important
to remove the damaged or unsteady tissues (undermined enamel).
In the same way, in the case of previous fillings, whether in
amalgam or composite, the old restoration has to be removed and
the remaining natural structure controlled.

Venus Step by Step Guide will directly deal with the details of
the adhesion process.
The silicone guide mask should be positioned in the mouth and
its borders followed so as to stratify a thin, translucent layer
(shades T1, T2 or T3), which reproduces the palatal/lingual surface.
Being an extremely translucent mass, the thickness of the layer
has to be carefully controlled to avoid taking space away from
the dentine mass.
If the situation does not allow the approach with a silicone mask
(Case B), the first layer has to be applied starting from the bottom
of the cavity. When the use of a dentine mass is needed, the
shaping should be conducted according to the precise anatomic
structure highlighted from the adjacent teeth.

the best continuity with the walls of the remaining tooth structure
and to create a proper contact area with the adjacent tooth. A thin
wall is applied with incisal shades until the height of the occlusive

with a dental floss after removing the matrix (leaving the wedge to
avoid bleedings). The operation should be carried out at this point,
because the wall can be quickly destroyed and rebuilt, if there
should be any errors.

material when the cavity preparation involves both dentine and translucency of the incisal third of the tooth. When necessary,
enamel. the level of translucency can be changed by using superficial
characterisation (e.g. Cre-active) under the last translucent layer.
The shade selection is to be done before placing the rubber dam.
Once isolated the dental element’s structures tend to dehydrate,
what makes the tooth appear more shiny and opaque than normally.
Consequently, just after removing the rubber dam, the restoration
appears darker and too translucent, even if the composite masses
had been properly selected.
A final evaluation of the combination of masses and layers can
only be done a few days after having completed the restoration;
the composite materials attain their definite optical properties only
after the tooth has been rehydrated.
The shade selection should be done under daylight keeping in mind
that not only the interested tooth but also the adjacent ones have
to be observed. The dentine shade should be selected based on the
mid and cervical thirds of the tooth of concern.

mordant with acid agents and therefore increases the linkage
between composite and dental structure.
Internal corners and sharp angles should be rounded off. The
direction of the enamel’s prisms which, during their centrifugal
growth, place themselves in a radial manner as regards to the
tooth’s axe, should also be considered. If the cavity wall shows
prisms directed transversally with respect to their axe, they will be
very resistant to traction. If, instead, the cavity wall shows prisms
directed in a parallel direction with respect to their axe, their
resistance to traction will be low.
Therefore, the marginal preparation should be done using a
45° oriented chamfer or a microchamfer (finishing ball bur 012
diameter) so as to transversally cut the prisms.
33Adhesion: Adhesion is a physical concept, which foresees interaction be- tween two elements, the adhesive and the adherent, through an interface. In the case of amalgam fillings the restoration maintains a macro-retention relation with the tooth. Restorations based on the adhesion principle show a reversed concept: a micro-retention to the tooth is achieved. The extension and shape of the cavity are in strict correlation with the decayed tissue to be removed. A large quantity of healthy dental tissue is therefore preserved. The adhesive systems can be classified according to the approach in treating dentinal mud (or smear layer). The first is intended to fully remove the smear layer through a simultaneous acid con- ditioning of enamel and dentine (total-etch), while the second tends to modify the same dentinal mud by incorporating it into the dentine’s resin impregnation process. Both so-called “three-steps” adhesives (e.g. Gluma Solid Bond) and those “two-steps” adhesives (e.g. Gluma Comfort Bond) are a part of the first group and differ one another for the association or not of primer and bonder. In the second group instead, we can distinguish the so-called self-etching primers and the new self-etching adhesives or “all-in-one” bondings (e.g. iBond). These adhesive systems do not remove the smear layer but modify it. 34
Polymerisation:
Composites are made of a resin matrix with scattered filling
particles. Resins are monomers, which, following a proper photo-
treatment, reach their final mechanical properties through
polymerisation. The photo-polymerisation process is therefore
very delicate and important in order to achieve a good
predictability of the restoration.
It is always recommended to observe the composite
manufacturer’s instructions and polymerisation times.
Polymerisation times for Venus and Venus flow are:

damaging the composite’s resin matrix, which would turn opaque. reasons.
During the same operational phase a correct replication of the
macro- and micro-surface texture and tooth’s morphology should
be achieved.
The polishing stage will follow, paying attention to the superficial
micro-morphology of the restoration. Pre-polishing is conducted
with coarse and thin grain points, polishing with silicone rubber
polishers to achieve a high gloss surface (e.g. iPol). All the
polishing processes should be carried out under a powerful air or
water jet to avoid overheating of the tooth.
Once polishing is completed, fluid resin (bonding agent) can be
applied on the restoration, spread using a soft air jet, and
cured for 20 seconds. This allows sealing possible cracks caused
by polymerisation contraction and enables a full cure of the
last composite layer.
