*Cements were cured using the L/C mode.
*All Bond Universal can be used as a Universal Primer for Porcelain & Zirconia substrates , but it MUST BE LIGHT‐CURED prior to cementation of the restoration. Although the initial Shear Bond Strengths may be statistically similar, a separate pure Silane primer for lithium disilicate and separate Metal primer for Zirconia results in better long‐term durability of the bond.

Be gentle: slight rock, then pull straight up
(Optional) Roughen surface w diamond for immediate dentin sealing
Sandblast bases/liners (place gingival protection)
Wash and remove excess moisture
Wipe off tooth with wet cotton roll
Check interproximal contacts with floss-avoid causing bleeding
Adjust contacts with white stone-re-polish areas
Check margins w/explorer
Adjust tooth not intaglio surface of crown

Re-acidify surface with Phosphoric Acid
Wash and dry thoroughly
Apply silane (if not previously applied)
Wait 90 seconds and air dry avoiding water contamination
Agitate into tooth for 30 seconds (so that calcium ions neutralize the acid
Lightly blow air to evaporate solvent for 20 seconds
Mix one drop each
Mix Cement and place in tooth
Lightly coat to avoid overfilling (hydraulic pressure can impede seating)
Quickly seat crown and push down
Hold crown down and use brush to remove excess cement
Hold crown, floss contact down and pull floss through
Wave cure margin 1 second
Use scaler to remove excess cement then explorer

Place glycerin around margins
Light cure for 1 minute
Check Occlusion
