Ceramic structures made of IPS e.max lithium disi-
licate glass-ceramic (LS

) must not be blasted.
Etching with IPS Ceramic Etching Gel for 20 s and
subsequently rinsing it off with water. Monobond Plus is allowed to react for 60 s and
then it is dried with blown air.
Preparing ceramic structures made of IPS e.max lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LS
2
)
The following procedure must be observed in the preparation of the ceramic structure for cementation on the base:
– The ceramic structure must not be blasted in preparation for cementation.
– The ceramic structure is cleaned in an ultrasonic bath or with a steam cleaner and subsequently blown dry.
– After cleaning, the bonding 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.
– The bonding surface is etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid gel (IPS Ceramic Etching Gel) for 20 s.
– Subsequently, the bonding surface is thoroughly rinsed under running water and dried with air that is free of
water and oil.
– Monobond Plus is applied to the clean bonding surface and allowed to react for 60 s. After this reaction time, any
residue is dispersed with air that is free of water and oil.
Optional: Wax is applied to protect the outer
surfaces. Optional: The bonding surface is cleaned by blas-
ting it (The instructions of the manufacturer
must be observed).
Monobond Plus is allowed to react for 60 s and
then dried with blown air.
Preparing ceramic structures made of zirconium oxide (ZrO
2
)
The following procedure must be observed in the preparation of the ceramic structure for cementation on the base:
– In order to facilitate its handling, the ceramic structure is attached to a holder (e.g. Microbrush) before it is blasted.
– The outer surfaces of the ceramic structure are protected with a wax coating.
– In order to better control the blasting procedure, the bonding surface can be coloured with a permanent marker.
– The bonding surface of the ceramic structure is cleaned by means of blasting with Al

100 μm at max. 1 bar and
at a distance of max. 1–2 cm from the blasting nozzle (The instructions of the manufacturer must be
observed).
– The ceramic structure is cleaned with steam or in an ultrasonic bath.
– After cleaning, the bonding surface must not be contaminated under any circumstances, since this may negatively
influence the bonding results.
– Monobond Plus is applied to the clean bonding surface and allowed to react for 60 s. After this reaction time, any
remaining residue is dried with air that is free of water and oil.
