PROTOCOLS
For a GlamSmile treatment, just two visits of the patient to the dentist are sufficient. The first one for a short check-up and to take photographs and impressions, the second one for the placement of the veneers. A follow-up control visit is recommended.
Five years of research preceded the launch of the GlamSmile veneer treatment. The result is an easy to learn and fast system to give your patients a perfect smile. However, as for any other treatment, it is very important to follow the 3 GlamSmile rules:
1/ Stick to the 66procedure
2/ Respect the products
3/ Work systematically
I. FIRST VISIT
1/ Check-up
a. Bruxism
If the patient is a grinder, the dentist needs to inform him/her on beforehand that (s)he will need to wear a night guard.
b. Occlusal contacts
Can be reduced by the dentist before impression or can be managed before placement following instructions of the GlamSmile Lab.
2/ Photographs
See GlamSmile Photography Protocol (Exhibit H)
3/ Impressions
See GlamSmile Impressions Protocol (Exhibit I)

GlamSmile Placement Protocol
II. SECOND VISIT
NOTES:
1/ If two arches need to be placed, start with the lower one.
Two reasons:
| checking the occlusial contact points gets easier because the upper teeth are virgin (free of luting cement). | ||
| It is more stimulating and fun to finish with the upper arch. |
2/ Treatment on existing ceramic crowns/veneers or composites: see special focus Adhesion.
3/ Always work systematically! Even though we work on tiny surfaces, by working from incisal to gingival, from mesial to distal, we are sure we treat the whole surface.
1/ POLISH THE TEETH & MAKE THE THEM ROUGH
Polish the teeth with brush and pumice
Make the teeth rough with a diamond bur (Komet Black long)
Note: Light to medium pressure with the bur on the teeth.
Work with the whole instrument and keep contact with the teeth. Work systematic: start from incisal to gingival.
2/ INTERDENTAL STRIPS
Place interdental strips to isolate the relevant teeth from those not being veneered.
3/ ETCHING
Etch the teeth with 37% phosphoric acid.
Rinse thoroughly.
4/ WET BOND TECHNIQUE ON TEETH
Wet technique: keep the teeth wet because the bonding is aceton based.
Add prime-bonding on the teeth.
Polymerize each tooth for 3 seconds with the fast curing Remecure light. (Halogen light: 30 seconds / LED: 10 seconds)
Tooth surface needs to shine.
After curing, open the interdental spaces with dental floss.
Exclusive Distribution Agreement of 29 | Page 20 of 30 |
GlamSmile Placement Protocol
5/ PRIME-BONDING ON VENEERS
Add prime-bonding on the inner side of the veneers and polymerize each veneer for 3 seconds with the fast curing Remecure light.
6/ LUTING CEMENT ON VENEERS
Add a generous layer of light-cured luting cement on the inner side of the veneers
7/ INSERT THE TRAY
| Switch off the surgical light! | |
| Remove inter dental strips! |
Insert the tray in one smooth movement. Give a light continuous pressure towards the teeth.
Polymerize lightly the gingival part for a few seconds with a sweeping movement.
8/ REMOVE EXCESS
Remove excess luting cement at the gingiva with a probe and light-cure each tooth for 3 seconds.
9/ REMOVE THE TRAY
| Dont twist!! |
Remove the retentions with a diamond bur or a paper disc.
Remove the excess at the palatal side of the teeth with a gingival instrument.
Be carefull not to damage the incisal edge!
10/ OPEN INTERDENTAL SPACES
Remove composite cement from interproximal spaces with a Cerisaw.
!! Movement = combination of cutting and pushing towards the gingiva.
!! Important: complete control of the instrument
11/ CURE THE VENEERS
Light-cure each single veneer during 3 seconds with the Remecure lamp from both vestibular and palatal side
12/ CHECK OCCLUSION
Check and finish the occlusion.
Polish the incisal edge of the veneers with a Komet (blue and yellow) bur.
DONT FORGET TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE RESULT!
DONT FORGET THE NIGHT GUARD FOR BRUXISM!

FREQUENTLY MADE MISTAKES (FMMs):
| NOT STICKING TO THE PROCEDURE | ||
| NOT RESPECTING THE PRODUCTS | ||
| NOT WORKING SYSTEMATICALLY | ||
are the most common reasons for problems during or after the placement | |||
1. | Making rough |
| Not enough preparation of the surface | ||
| Touching the gum which causes bleeding |
2. | Etching |
| Using not enough material |
| Starting to rinse too early each tooth needs 45 seconds! |
3. | Bonding |
| No wet surface | ||
(Aceton based bonding needs a wet surface!) |
| Not enough bonding | ||
(After curing, surface needs to be glossy!) |
| Not shaking the bottle enough | ||
(bonding must be completely mixed otherwise aceton stays on top and one will only sqeeze out the aceton) |
| Forget to close the bottle immediately | ||
(Result: aceton evaporates and wet bonding does not function) |
4. | Luting cement |
| Using not enough material | ||
(must fill the inside of the veneers) |
5. | Before placement |
| Not removing the strips |
| Not extinguishing the surgical light | ||
(Otherwise luting cement can start to cure before placement) |
6. | Curing |
| Not enough curing especially on premolar | ||
(put the curing light in front of each tooth and in close contact with the surface) |
7. | Remove tray |
| Click movement during taking out the tray |
| Damaging the incisal edge |
8. | Occlusion |
| Not checking on the occlusial interferences (protrusion and lateral movements) | ||
(will make the veneer pop off) |
| Not making a protection shield (especially for grinders) | ||
(will make the veneer(s) pop off) |

PHOTOGRAPHY PROTOCOL
1/ Requirements
For good dental photography, preferably use a digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera with a macro lens and ring flash.
| Macro lens with a limited depth-of-field, preferably 40, 50 or 60 mm | |
| Lens opening: the smaller, the better (minimum 32 of 44) |
For example:
| camera: Nikon D70s | |
| lens: 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor | |
| ring flash: Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System (with SU-800 Wireless Commander |
2/ Importance of photography
1. Information for the Glamsmile Lab
Glamsmile veneers are always made with respect to the aesthetic characteristics of the clients face.
2. Creating a photo book
To keep record of your Glamsmile cases and to start your own database.
3. Before and after for the patient
To be able to give before and after pictures to your patient
4. Simulation for the patient (on demand)
To get a digital simulation made by the Glamsmile specialists.

3/ Photographs for GlamSmile Lab
Six photographs need to be taken:
| Full face without cheek retractor smile! | ||
| Close-up without cheek retractor smile! | ||
| Close-up cheek retractor frontal in occlusion | ||
| Close-up cheek retractor 45o right in occlusion | ||
| Close-up cheek retractor 45o left in occlusion | ||
| Close-up cheek retractor detail front with VITA shade guide |
4/ Guidelines: how to frame the different photographs?
1. FULL FACE
The patient stands up in front of you against a wall (NOT in the chair and no decoration behind). Frontal view is very important. Only the face, the hair, the neck and the start of the shoulders should be visible.
Portrait format (no landscape!) and straight!
Ask the patient to smile!
2. CLOSE UP WITHOUT CHEEK RETRACTOR
Smile this is important for the lab to define the aesthetics. Sometimes you may have to ask the patient to say cheese. Patients being ashamed of their smile, need some help to show their teeth.
Stay straight in front of the patient. Only take the teeth, the lips. No nose, no ears. Use landscape format.
3. CLOSE UPS WITH CHEEK RETRACTOR
Ask the patient to take place in the chair. Place a cheek retractor (transparent).
You are in front of the patient.
| Take one photograph in occlusion (straight!). | |
| Ask the patient to slightly turn the head. Take one photograph in a 45o angle right / one in a |
45o angle left.
4. CLOSE UP WITH VITA SHADE GUIDE
Remove the cheek retractor again. Define the patients actual teeth color using the VITA shade guide and take one photograph of the teeth holding the VITA shade guide between the upper and lower arch.

Start with the first molar: place the syringe with the tip in contact with the gingival part of the teeth in a 45° position towards the gingiva. | Keep the filled tray ready. Be aware that there is a reduced working time. | |
With a fluent, continuing movement, gush the material from tooth to tooth without losing contact with the surface. | ||
UPPER ARCH: | ||
a) Insert the tray in the mouth | ||
b) Centre the tray midline nose | ||
c) Push gently in 3 movements: | ||
press softly the back of the tray towards the palatum to avoid running over to the pharynx | ||
lift gently to the front teeth | ||
push the tray gently towards the vestibular surface of the teeth to be sure |

DENTIST | ASSISTANT/DENTIST | |
there is a perfect registration of the vestibular part of the involved teeth | ||
Setting time between 3 minutes (Soft Quick) and 7 minutes (Soft). | ||
