Manifold cementation possibilities

The quality and durability of ceramic restorations can be supported by the use of the correct cementation material. Therefore, trust the clinically proven Ivoclar Vivadent cementation materials that have been tried and tested many times for the adhesive cementation of your CAD/CAM restorations.
In general, IPS Empress CAD and IPS e.max CAD restorations are adhesively cemented. IPS e.max CAD crowns are exceptions (but not veneers, inlays, onlays), since they may also be self-adhesively or conventionally cemented due to their strength.

Variolink II / Variolink Veneer
The dual-curing, highly esthetic luting composite Variolink II has provided excellent clinical results for more than ten years. For the cementation of veneers, the light-curing Variolink Veneer is used, which permits a brightening or darkening of the ceramic restoration with its special shade concept.

Multilink Automix
The universal luting composite Multilink Automix offers a broad range of indications. It provides high bonding strength and an excellent durable bond. Together with the primer A/B, the dentin is sealed and good marginal adaptation is achieved.

SpeedCEM
The self-adhesive, dual-curing luting composite is even easier to use than a conventional cement. At the same time, it offers the additional advantages of a composite, such as higher bond strength and translucency, as well as lower water solubility.

Vivaglass CEM
The classical self-curing glass ionomer cement is suitable for the cementation of high-strength ceramic materials, such as IPS e.max, among others. It contains a particularly transparent glass filler for achieving esthetic results.

Etching and silanization

All glass-ceramic restorations are etched and silanized before incorporation.

IPS Ceramic Etching Gel (20 s) is used to generate retentive bonding surfaces on all-ceramic restorations in preparation for incorporation. It enhances the bonding effect between the luting composite and the ceramic bonding surface.

For adhesive and self-adhesive cementation of IPS e.max CAD lithium disilicate (LS₂) restorations, as well as the adhesive cementation of IPS Empress CAD, the restorations are silanized using Monobond Plus. Silanization is not required for the self-adhesive and conventional cementation of IPS e.max CAD. Monobond Plus is a universal single-component bonding agent mediating an adhesive bond between the luting composite (e.g. from the Variolink and Multilink product lines) and all indirect restorative materials (glass and oxide ceramics, metal, composites, fibre-reinforced composites).

Cementation Navigation System

The Cementation Navigation System, a new multimedia application from Ivoclar Vivadent, offers dentists practical orientation and guidance in the selection of the best luting material for each case.
