DIRECTIONS TO USE 

Powder and liquid dispensing

• The standard powder to liquid ratio is 1.45g / 0.5mL. b) For accurate dispensing of powder, lightly tap the bottle against the hand.
• Do not shake or invert.
• Close bottles immediately after use.

Mixing

• Dispense powder and liquid onto a heavy glass slab.
• Using a stainless steel spatula divide the powder into 3 equal portions. Incorporate one portion of powder into ALL the liquid and spatulate thoroughly for 10 seconds. Successively incorporate the remaining portions and spatulate thoroughly.
• The total process should take 60-90 seconds. Working time is 3-4 minutes from the start of mixing (Temperature: 23±1°C, Relative humidity: 50±10%).

Note: The correct consistency is obtained when the mixture lifted with the spatula is drawn out into a slender peak, breaks, and resettles slowly into the main mass.

Cementation Technique

• Prepare teeth using standard techniques.
• Clean with pumice and water only. Wash and dry but DO NOT DESICCATE. DO NOT REMOVE SMEAR LAYER. For pulp, capping use calcium hydroxide.
• Clean and dry inside of the casting.
• Mix the required amount of cement.
• Coat internal surface of restoration with 1mm of cement and start to seat within 30 seconds of completing the mix. (DO NOT OVERFILL). Higher temperatures will shorten working time.
• Net setting time is 7 minutes 10 seconds from the end of mixing. Remove excess cement at the first formation of the gel stage.
