Accolade

Try-In Composite Pastes

A Simpliﬁ ed System For Bonding Porcelain Veneers

Raymond L. Bertolotti DDS

Over 25 years of clinical experience led the author to the following conclusions about porcelain veneers:

1. Most porcelain veneer bonding systems are needlessly complicated.

2. Most, if not all, try-in pastes are unacceptably off true color.

3. Water or glycerin based try-in pastes are a source of contamination, often leading to veneer failures.

With these points in mind, a new porcelain veneer bonding system was designed to be problem free. The system is

known as Accolade PV, by Danville Materials.

First let’s discuss try-in pastes. Most are water or glycerin based, not true to color of the composite resins that

are subsequently used to bond the veneers. Accolade PV uses a patent pending composite try-in paste, with the same color as

Accolade PV, but with a very long working time created by reducing the activity of the catalyst. After try-in, it is not

necessary to completely remove the try-in composite. The polymerization activity of the ﬁ nal bonding composite will

polymerize any remnants of the try-in composite. Thereby concerns 2 and 3 above are solved.

The author ﬁ nds that Accolade PV Translucent shade will produce an acceptable veneer shade about 80% of the time.

The most commonly needed shade to correct a try-in is a slightly opaqued white, Accolade PV Light. Occasionally an even

lighter, more opaque shade is needed, called Extra Light. For an even whiter result, Accolade PV has a shade called White

Opaque. It is usually too white and opaque to use by itself; instead it is used as a blending shade. In the unlikely event that

darker is needed,

Danville offers Accolade PV Yellow and PV Brown, as well as dark Vita shades of Accolade.

With only 6 well-selected shades, Accolade PV solves the problem that most veneer systems are unnecessarily

complicated.

Here is an illustration of a try-in on a dark tooth (ﬁ gure 1), using Accolade PV, On tooth number 9, two Try-In Pastes are used

simultaneously (ﬁ gure 2). On the distal half is Accolade PV Light, the mesial is Accolade PV Translucent. The try-in is pictured

in ﬁ gure 3. The Light shade was selected, based on this try-in. The ﬁ nal veneer is pictured in ﬁ gure 4. It produced an excellent

shade match when bonded along with Accolade PV Light. The adhesive used was Danville’s Prelude.
