The ceramic structure must not be blasted.
Etching with IPS Ceramic Etching Gel for 20 seconds.
Subsequently, the restoration is rinsed with water and
blown dry.
Monobond Plus is allowed to react for 60 s,
and excess is blown dry.
Preparing the ceramic structure
The following procedure must be observed in the preparation of the ceramic structure for cementation on the Ti base:
– Do not blast the ceramic structure in preparation for the cementation.
– Clean the ceramic structure in an ultrasonic bath or with a steam cleaner and subsequently blow dry.
– After cleaning, the bonding surface must not be contaminated under any circumstances, as this would impair the bond.
– Wax can be applied to protect the outer surfaces or the glazed areas.
– Etch the bonding surface with 5% hydrofluoric acid gel (IPS Ceramic Etching Gel) for 20 s.
– Subsequently, thoroughly rinse the bonding surface under running water and dry with air that is free of water and oil.
– Apply Monobond Plus on the clean bonding surface and allow it to react for 60 s. After the reaction time, dry any
remaining residue with blown air that is free of water and oil.
