What is the Bioclear Method?
At the heart of the Bioclear Method lies its scientifically supported foundation: the Five Pillars of Bioclear. These core principles underpin every treatment, making the system not only unique but also reliable, with consistently dependable outcomes.
First Pillar: Biofilm Removal
Biofilm - the glycoproteins, polysaccharides mixed with oral debris, and other bacterial components including the protein pellicle that adhere to teeth - can have a healthy role in the oral cavity, but when it comes to bonding composite to our patients’ teeth, biofilm is detrimental and tenacious, and can lead to staining or debonding.
Second Pillar: Preparation Design
Even with the advent of adhesive bonding, tooth fractures remain the third leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. The key to improving outcomes is in proper engineering of the preparation. Bioclear restorations are compression-based.
Third Pillar: Bioclear Matrices
Matrices should be both anatomical and transparent. Bioclear empowers dentists to create subgingival contours for ideal contact points. The transparent Mylar material enables true bulk filling, enhanced light curing, and a smoother, more polished surface.
Fourth Pillar: Heated Injection Molded Composite
Injection molding with heated composite ensures uniform flow, providing enhanced comfort and control during application. This technique achieves seamless adaptation to the cavity preparation, delivering a near-perfect infinity edge with minimal to zero defects.
Fifth Pillar: Final 'Rockstar' Polish
The signature results Bioclear is renowned for hinge on its meticulous three-step surface preparation and polishing process:
- Shaping: Diamond burs efficiently remove excess composite, while coarse sanding discs deliver precise initial shaping and a smooth finish.
- Polishing: A rubber cup, combined with Bioclear’s pumice-based Magic Mix, polishes the surface for a refined appearance.
- Finishing: The high-shine Rockstar Polisher achieves a brilliant, porcelain-like finish that sets Bioclear apart.
