Interface Instructions

Repairing Ceramic and Tooth  (Simplicity or Surpass^® is required for this process)

There are times when tooth structure is exposed by the fracture of a ceramic restoration, such as might occur with a veneer or ceramic crown.

1. Using a Microtip^® applicator, apply an even coating of the prepared Interface solution to the ceramic surface and allow to dwell for 10 seconds.
2. Dry the Interface solution thoroughly (approximately 5 seconds)
3. Apply the prepared Interface solution to the exposed tooth structure evenly and agitated gently for 10 seconds.  DO NOT DRY THE Interface SOLUTION ON THE TOOTH.
   
   

   Note:  Excess Interface solution on the ceramic surface will not adversely affect the bond strength of the repair.

4. If using Simplicity:
   1. Apply 3 coats of Simplicity 2 to the Interface surface on both the tooth and ceramic
   2. Dry thoroughly
   3. Apply 2 additional coats of Simplicity 2
   4. Dry thoroughly
   5. Light activate for 10 seconds
   If using Surpass^®:
   1. Apply 3 coats of Surpass^® 2 to the Interface surface on both the tooth and ceramic
   2. Dry thoroughly
   3. Apply 1 coat of Surpass^® 3.  Air thin (if desired)
   4. Light activate for 10 seconds
   5. Composite is then added and finished according to manufacturer’s instructions.
