Preparing for Cementation
Conditioning of the restoration and preparation depends on the cementation method used. The following paragraphs
describe the basic working steps to prepare for cementation.
a. Conditioning of the restoration
Conditioning of the ceramic surface in preparation for cementation is decisive for generating a sound bond between the
cementation material and the all-ceramic restoration. The following steps must be observed:
– Do not blast IPS e.max CAD with Al

or glass polishing beads before incorporation.
– Ideally, conduct the clinical try-in before etching in order not to contaminate the etched surface.
– Thoroughly clean the restoration with water and blow dry.
– Condition the restoration:
– Generally etch the bonding surface with 5% hydrofluoric acid gel (IPS Ceramic Etching Gel).
– For adhesive or self-adhesive cementation, silanize the bonding surface of the restoration using Monobond Plus.
