Cementation with Multilink ® Implant
For an optimum bond between the IPS e.max Press object and the Ti base, use the self-curing luting composite Multilink ®
Implant with light-curing option. Read the respective Instructions for Use for more detailed information.
Please observe the following procedure for cementation:
– Keep the cleaned and conditioned components that are to be luted (pressed objects, Ti base) at hand.
– The subsequent cementation procedure must be carried out quickly and without interruption. The working
time of Multilink Implant is 90 (± 15) seconds at 23 °C (± 1 °C) or 73 °F (± 1.8 °F).
– As a general rule, attach a new mixing tip to the Multilink Implant syringe prior to each use.
– Apply Multilink Implant directly from the mixing tip in a thin layer on the bonding surface of the Ti base and the
bonding surface of the pressed object.
– Leave the mixing tip attached to the Multilink Implant syringe until the next application. As the material will cure in the
mixing tip, it will serve as a seal.
– Position the pressed object above the Ti base in such a way that the position markings are aligned.
– Use even and low pressure to join the parts and check the correct relative position of the components when they are in
their final position (transition Ti base/pressed object).
– Subsequently, tightly press the components together for 5 seconds.
– Carefully remove excess in the screw cavity, e.g. with Microbrush or brush, using a rotary movement.
– Remove excess at the transition to the Ti base carefully in its ductile state, e.g. with a foam pellet, while applying slight
pressure to hold the components in place.
– Apply a glycerine gel (e.g. Liquid Strip) to the cementation joint to prevent the formation of a inhibition layer.
– After that, completely polymerize the luting composite for 7 minutes in a light-polymerization device.
– Important: Do not move the objects until the Multilink Implant material has completely cured and hold them
in place without allowing for any motion, e.g. with diamond-coated tweezers.
– After completion of the polymerization, rinse off the glycerine gel with water.
– Smooth out and polish the cementation joint with rubber polishers.
– If there are any cement residues in the screw channel, remove them using suitable rotary instruments.
– Clean with a steam cleaner.
