Interface
™
Interface™
is a revolutionary ceramic primer, which allows the clinician to bond
any type of ceramic to a tooth, including the newer high-strength materials.
With InterfaceTM, any dental ceramic can repaired safely in the mouth
without the use of dangerous hydrofluoric acid. Since it is activated
when it is used, the shelf life of the primer is very stable (3 years
from the date of manufacture). Best of all, InterfaceTM can be used
to bond to ceramic, dentin and enamel ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
Preparation of Interface ™
Interface™
is furnished in two bottles, labeled A and B, along with a mixing well
and microbrush applicators. To prepare Interface™,
a drop of A and a drop of B are dispensed into the same cavity of the
mixing well. At first the two liquids will not mix- one will form a
“bubble” on the top of the other. After about 20-30 seconds, the bubble
will break down, and at that time the mixture is stirred for 5 seconds
with the microbrush applicator. The mixed Interface™ solution must be
mixed and used within a few minutes. Once it has become opaque it is
no longer useful.
Bonding Ceramic Inlays, Onlays, Crowns and Veneers
It is highly recommended that the ceramic surfaces to be bonded
are first lightly sandblasted. The prepared Interface™
solution is applied to the
ceramic surface in an even coating and is allowed to dwell for 10 seconds.
It is then dried for 5 seconds with dried compressed air. One coat of
Simplicity® 2 is applied to the primed surface, is air-thinned, dried
and light-cured for ten seconds. A second coat of the Simplicity® 2
is applied and dried, but it is not light-cured. The desired resin luting
cement is inserted into the restoration and it is seated and finished
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the preparation has
been sealed with Simplicity® as recommended, the following protocol
may be employed for the tooth on which the crown or onlay is being placed:
clean the prep of the temporary cement. Clean any remaining temporary
cement with a microbrush and Simplicity® 1, which will dissolve the
remaining cement. Rinse and dry the prep. Apply a coat of Simplicity®
2, dry and light-cure it for ten seconds per surface. Then apply another
coat of Simplicity® 2, dry but do not light-cure it. Then place the
resin luting material (such as Anchor™) into the crown or onlay and
insert.
Repairing of Ceramics
The prepared Interface ™
solution is applied to the
repair site and allowed to dwell for 30 seconds. It is dried with a
stream of compressed air for 5 seconds. Three brushfuls of Simplicity®
2, are applied to the primed surface and dried with compressed air for
at least 5 seconds. The adhesive is then light-cured for ten seconds,
or for the period of time as instructed by the manufacturer. Adhesives
having more than one bottle, such as SurpassTM, may also be used for
repairs. The primer and bonding resin (e.g. Surpass™ 2 and Surpass™
3) may be applied in place of the one bottle adhesive. Composite resin
is then added and finished according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Repairing Ceramic and Tooth
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.
The prepared Interface ™
solution is first applied
to the ceramic for ten seconds after which it is dried with dried compressed
air for 5 seconds. The solution is then applied to the exposed tooth
structure evenly and agitated gently for ten seconds. The solution applied
to the tooth structure IS NOT DRIED. Three brushfuls of Simplicity®
2 are applied directly onto the InterfaceTM solution on both the ceramic
and the tooth surfaces. The surface is then air-dried thoroughly for
at least 5 seconds. Two more brushfuls of the one-bottle adhesive are
applied and the surface is air-dried again for five seconds. The resin
adhesive is then light-cured for 10 seconds, or as recommended by the
manufacturer. (Note: Surpass™ 2 and Surpass™ 3 may also be used for
this type of repair). Composite is then added and finished according
to manufacturer’s instructions.
Repair of Porcelain-to-metal Crowns
Roughen the surface with a diamond. Lightly sandblast the surfaces to
be repaired. Apply the prepared Interface™ solution to both the ceramic
and the metal for 10 seconds and then dry the Interface™ solution for
5 seconds. Apply one coat of Simplicity® 2, dry it and light-cure it
for ten seconds. Apply the desired composite and complete the repair
