1. Zirconia Prime is a multi-surface primer for zirconia, alumina, and metal restorations that enhances the bond strength between these indirect restorative materials and composite resin cements and resin-based bonding agents. 2. For maximum retention, sandblast the crown before applying 1 to 2 coats of Zirconia Prime to the entire bonding surface. 3. Treating a LumiZir® zirconia crown surface with Zirconia Prime and using a resin cement such as Infinity® demonstrates that proper clinical technique ensures long-term restorative success.
It has been well established through clinical trials that MDP increases the bond strength between zirconia and adhesives.
A bonded restoration will always be stronger, better adapted, and last longer than a counterpart that is cemented.
The MDP formulation because it produces a reliable bond, ensuring more stable and predictable restorations.
