- 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
