Apply the mixed Multilink Primer A/B with a micro-
brush to the entire bonding surface, starting with the
enamel, and scrub for 30 s. Take up fresh primer with
the micro-brush for each abutment. Disperse excess
amounts of Multilink Primer with a strong stream of
air until the mobile liquid film has disappeared.
Etch with 5% hydrofluoric acid (e.g. IPS ® Ceramic
Etching Gel) for 20 seconds and rinse the acid off with
water.
Ensure reliable isolation of the operating field,
preferably by placing a rubber dam (e.g. OptraDam
® ).
Clean preparation, rinse with water spray.
Subsequently, blow dry with oil- and moisture-free air.
Avoid overdrying.
Do not blast the restorations with Al

or glass
polishing beads.
Light-activate cement excess with a curing light (e.g.
Bluephase
® ) at a distance of max. 10 mm per quarter
surface (mesio-oral, disto-oral, mesio-buccal, disto-
buccal). Observe the indicated light intensity.
Seat the restoration in place and fix/hold while
maintaining stable pressure.
Subsequently, light-cure all cement lines again for
20 s (e.g. Bluephase, HIGH mode, approx.
1,200 mW/cm
2 ). Rinse off glycerine gel and remove
the rubber dam.
Like all composite resins, Multilink Automix is subject
to oxygen inhibition. To avoid this, cover the restora-
tion margins with glycerine gel/air block (e.g. Liquid
Strip) immediately after the removal of excess.
Apply Multilink Automix directly into the conditioned
restoration.
Allow Monobond Plus to react for 60 s and then blow
dry with the air syringe. Silanization is not required for
conventional cementation procedures.
The excess material has a gel-like consistency and
can be easily removed with a scaler.
Use finishing and polishing strips in the proximal
regions. Check occlusion and functional movements
and make adjustments if necessary. Polish restoration
margins with polishers (Astropol ® ) or discs.

Conditioning of the restoration
IPS ® Ceramic Etching Gel contains hydrofluoric acid. Contact with skin, eyes and clothing must be prevented at all costs, since
the material is extremely toxic and corrosive. The etching gel is intended for extraoral use only and must not be applied
intraorally (inside the mouth).
