For optimum esthetic results use variolink N try and paste to evaluate the shade of the restoration
Check the shade effect, accuracy of the fit and occlusion of the restoration
Thoroughly rinse off the trying paste with water spray after trying and dry the preparation with water and oil-free air
Etch the bonding surface of the restoration with 5% Hydrofluoric acid (ceramic etching gel) for 20 sec
Rinse off the etching gel and dry the restoration
Clean the bonding surface with ivoclean and leave it for 20 sec
Rinse off ivoclean and dry the restoration
Apply monobond n bonding agent to the pre-treated surface using a brush and allow it to react for 60 sec then disperse it with dry air
Isolate the operating field
Apply phosphoric acid etchnat to etch enamel for 15-30 seconds and dentin for 10-15 sec
Thouroughly rinse the gel with vigorous stream of water and air dry the preparation
Coat the entire bonding surface with bonding agent and scrub the adhesive in for 20 sec. Disperse the adhesive using air
Light cure bonding for 10 sec

Seat the restoration and retain it in place exerting uniform pressure
Remove gross excess material within the processing time especially in proximal and gingival area
Maintain the pressure and light cure the central area of the restoration for 3-4 seconds
Cover the restoration margins with glycerine gel to prevent oxygen inhibition
Light cure the restoration again for 10 seconds
Rinse off the glycerine gel
Finish the proximal sufaces with finishing and polishing strips. Polish the restoration margins with composite polishers
