Assume that rubber dams aren't used and also assume that generic materials are used.
What are some tips for doing composite fillings that don't fall out?
Right after placing them, I sometimes notice composite fillings coming out when I remove the matrix band, check contacts with floss, or do occlusal adjustments.
Given that I don't have control over any bonding/composite supplies and instructions for how to use them, I arbitrarily insert acid etch into the prep, rinse the prep and air dry after 5-10 secs, apply bonding ( sometimes this is from one bottle; other times I have to mix a drop from two or three bottles ) to the prep using a microbrush in a rub back and forth motion, light cure for 5-10 secs, insert hard ( or flowable ) composite and light cure for 10-20 secs.
Please help. Thank you. I know that there isn't one way of doing dentistry but I certainly haven't learned any of this effectively.
