Optrasculpt Pad is a new modelling instrument from Ivoclar Vivadent with foam pad attachments designed for the non-stick adaptation of composite materials. This instrument allows composite filling materials to be contoured with ease, without leaving any unwanted marks. Restorations with smooth and even surfaces can be achieved efficiently. Reference scales on the instrument handle assist in the creation of aesthetically pleasing, anatomically correct anterior restorations. The markings allow the clinical situation to be compared with the ideal average tooth's width proportion and angular alignments in the upper anterior dentition. It is particularly suited for the placement of Class III, IV and V restorations and direct veneers. Natural-looking results are easy to accomplish in anterior and cervical restorations due to the pad's special material. This highly flexible synthetic foam optimally adapts to the tooth shape and allows the composite material to be contoured smoothly.
