[Surface problems in preparing Evicrol fillings]

The polymerization of Evicrol, like that of other composites, is adversely affected by atmospheric oxygen. This negative effect may be avoided by the use of matrices. On filling class V cavities, the utilization of well adaptable cellophane, aluminium and tin foils is justified. To obtain satisfactory results in final polishing, it is necessary to employ polishing disks suited for polishing the anorganic fillers contained in this restorative plastic.
