Cementation
To prepare for the adhesive cementation, a dry operating field, must be established,
preferably using a rubber dam.
The OptraDam ® is a convenient, 3-dimensional rubber dam, which can be quickly and
easily inserted thanks to its anatomical shape and the integrated frame. Given its high
flexibility and new functional concept, the OptraDam is very comfortable for patients
even for longer treatment procedures. The gentle, circular retraction of lips and cheeks
enables substantially facilitated access to an enlarged treatment field with simultaneous
isolation.
Total Etch
Total Etch is used for the preparation of adhesive cementation with Variolink. It is an
enamel etching and dentin conditioning gel used during the adhesive cementation of
all-ceramic restorations.
For the adhesive cementation of IPS Empress CAD restorations, you may choose
between tried-and-tested luting composites from Ivoclar Vivadent. Adhesive cementa-
tion achieves an excellent bond between the preparation and the restoration.
