Abstract

preclinical setting. Since first year of “dental preclinic” we were always told about a variety

is preparing the tooth. Whether from micro-fractures, bacteria or etch sensitivity, we knew we
wanted it gone quick to be successful at our mission. However, not enough curing lights were
available to teach us how to use composites, never mind, light activated liners coming out such
as Limeline and Vitrebond. So upon our ripening in the finally of second year, we would be unleashed

clinics also wanted composite fillings as well, and without cold sensitivity
