Self-etching glass-ceramic primer • ■ ivoclar '■ vivadenl: passion vision innovation

Proper conditioning of the restoration bonding surface is a crucial part of the adhesive luting process. Conventionally, glass-ceramic restorations are conditioned by etching the contact surface with hydrofluoric acid and then applying a silane coupling agent. Hydrofluoric acid etching, however, is rather unpopular because of its toxic potential. Monobond® Etch & Prime is the first single-component ceramic primer in the world, which allows you to etch and silanate glass-ceramic surfaces in one easy step. At the same time, the solution cleans away any remaining saliva from the surface. All in...

Long-lasting, durable bond The advanced formulation of Monobond Etch & Prime ensures a high reactivity between the glass-ceramic and the primer. The new ceramic conditioner is responsible for the reactivity of the ceramic surface and the silane coupling agent. Together, they form a strong chemical bond. This effective combination offers a gentler way of conditioning glass-ceramics and therefore provides a welcome alternative to hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, restorations that have been pre-treated in the laboratory can be conditioned again with Monobond Etch & Prime. Tensile bond strength on IPS...
