Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé destinés à appliquer des composites dans des cavités dentaires. Ledit dispositif est constitué d'un pistolet de projection comportant un dispositif d'éclairage intégré qui est destiné à des composites photopolymérisables, d'une unité de mesure et d'une unité de commande. Lesdits composites sont appliqués en mettant en œuvre un rayonnement lumineux de polymérisation qui est contrôlé et précisément dosé. Selon l'invention, le composite s'écoule d'abord sur les parois de la cavité ou sur un matériau de remplissage déjà en place pour ensuite, sous l'effet de l'éclairage, adopter un état de gel. Le retrait que le composite subit lors sa polymérisation se produit ainsi en grande partie (10) lorsque le composite est encore plastiquement déformable, ledit retrait pouvant alors être compensé par des coulées complémentaires. Ensuite, on achève le durcissement à l'aide d'une dose de lumière suffisamment élevée. Le dispositif et le procédé selon l'invention permettent de remplir rapidement des cavités sans avoir recours à la technique par couches laquelle est longue à mettre en œuvre et comporte un durcissement intermédiaire. De plus, ils permettent de réduire, par rapport à la technique par couches connue, les forces de retrait que le composite exerce sur les parois de la cavité.
