Instructions for Use

Ceramic, metal, resin desensitized, prehybridized, and cured resin surfaces should be dry prior to applying Embrace resins. Tooth surfaces should be left slightly moist. Slightly moist tooth surfaces exhibit neither dryness nor pooled water. Lightly dry and remove excess water with compressed air or a cotton pellet. Tooth surfaces should be shiny or glossy. Overly wet surfaces will result in decreased bond strength.

1. Microabrade metal (and amalgam) surfaces. Microabrade ceramic surfaces, and/or etch with Pulpdent Porcelain Etch Gel for one minute. Carefully follow the                    instructions for use and safety precautions for Porcelain Etch Gel, which appear below. Kool-Dam should be used to protect soft tissue, teeth or ceramic surfaces,              when indicated. Instructions for the use of Kool-Dam appear below. Etch cured composite surfaces with phosphoric acid etch gel for 10 seconds.

2. Rinse well. Dry ceramic, metal, resin desensitized, prehybridized, and cured resin surfaces.

3. If dentin and enamel are involved, etch these tooth surfaces for 15 seconds with EtchRite 38% phosphoric acid gel. Apply DenTASTIC UNO, UNO-DUO or your                preferred dental-enamel bonding agent in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Apply a thin coat of Embrace First-Coat to the metal and/or ceramic surfaces with a flocked applicator tip.

5. Light cure this layer. Cures with all lights. Curing time for a halogen light with a minimum of 300 mW/cm2 is 20 seconds. More powerful lights will cure faster. Instructio ns For Use

6. Apply Embrace Opaquer, if indicated, to metal or discolored surfaces using the brushes provided. Light cure. Cures with all lights. Curing time for a halogen light with a minimum of 300 mW/cm2 is 20 seconds. More powerful lights will cure faster.

7. Apply your preferred composite restorative or resin cement and cure the material in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Now follow steps 8-13 to polish and seal the restoration and margins with Embrace Seal-n-Shine.

8. Acid etch or microabrade the restored surface for 10 seconds.

9. Rinse well. Dry ceramic, metal and cured resin surfaces. Lightly dry and leave prepared tooth surface slightly moist.

10. Where necessary, place dental floss through the contacts and leave it in the embrasures. Use later to clear contacts and prevent bonding to adjacent tooth surfaces.          The teeth can be wedged and a mylar strip can be placed, if desired.

11. Apply a thin coat of Seal-n-Shine to the restored surface with a flocked dispenser tip.

12. Remove the dental floss by lifting it interproximally through the contacts. It is important for the contacts to be open.

13. Light cure. Seal-n-Shine cures with all lights. Curing time for a halogen light with a minimum of 300 mW/cm2 is 20 seconds. More powerful lights will cure faster.

Kool-Dam Instructions for Use

1. Apply a coat of Kool-Dam 1-2 mm thick on the gingival or tooth surfaces requiring protection.

2. Light cure. Kool-Dam cures with all lights. Curing time for each exposure area with a halogen light with a minimum of 300 mW/cm2 is 10 seconds. More powerful lights      will cure faster.

Porcelain Etch Gel Instructions for Use

1. Protective eyewear must be worn by practitioner, assistant and patient. Protective gloves must be worn by practitioner and assistant.

2. Place rubber dam and use Kool-Dam to isolate operative site and protect soft tissue.

3. Assistant must stand ready at chairside and hold vacuum tip 2-3 inches from porcelain surface during the etching process to evacuate acid fumes.

4. Remove cap from Porcelain Etch Gel syringe and place an applicator tip securely on the syringe. Start the flow of Porcelain Etch Gel onto a pad and immediately             dispose of this sample. Do not start flow in patient’s mouth. Use a new applicator tip for each patient.

5. Using gentle pressure, carefully apply Porcelain Etch Gel to the ceramic surface and leave for one minute while evacuating fumes with vacuum. 6. Remove gel with           vacuum tip and rinse treated surface with copious amounts of water. Dry ceramic surface with clean compressed air
