For bonding resin-based materials to enamel and dentin:

1. Tooth preparation:

 Apply Primacid™ (#1) for 10 seconds to tooth surfaces to be restored, using a gentle brushing action, and
rinse thoroughly.

 Remove bulk water using dry cotton pledgets, leaving the surface slightly damp.
Note - surface does not have to be be perfectly dry.


2. Priming surfaces:

Apply 2 coats of Primer
(#2) to the surfaces to be restored using a gentle brushing stroke.

 Use a gentle stream of air for 10 seconds to evaporate residual solvent.
Note: The surface should have a shiny appearance after this last step. If not observed, apply another coat and repeat brief exposure of surface to a stream of air. 


3. Apply resin:

 Using a new disposable Microbrush, apply a layer of Interfacial Resin™ (#3) to the surface. After 15 seconds, light cure (time is dependent on curing light used).
Note 1: Remove pooled resin by using a new applicator and "sponging up" excess resin.
Note 2: Do not apply a high power LED or arc light directly over the surface when curing the resin. Rather, start from a distance  that is 3-4 inches away, and come down onto the surface slowly.

 Apply a second layer using the residual resin in the applicator.
Note: Do not cure second layer. Place restorative material - it will cure with the composite.
