Ivoclar Vivadent Multilink N Refills

Ivoclar Vivadent Multilink N Refills is a universal luting composite system designed for the adhesive cementation of dental restorations. It offers dental professionals a reliable solution with key qualities that ensure successful outcomes. Firstly, Multilink N provides strong and long-lasting bonds between restorations and tooth structures, contributing to the durability of dental work. It accomplishes this through a coordinated system of monomer matrix and inorganic fillers, resulting in a composite material with a high volume of inorganic fillers for enhanced mechanical properties. Secondly, its universal application is a significant advantage, as it can be used with a wide range of restorative materials, such as metal, metal-ceramic, all-ceramic, and composite resin restorations. This versatility simplifies material selection for different clinical scenarios. Lastly, Multilink N facilitates easy cleanup of excess cement, ensuring that the final restoration fits and functions as intended. These features, along with clear application guidelines, make Multilink N a valuable tool for dental professionals seeking reliable and versatile luting composite systems.

Direction To Use:

Removal of Temporary Restoration and Cleaning:

• • Remove temporary luting cement from the cavity.
  • Clean the cavity with a polishing brush and an oil and fluoride-free cleaning paste.
  • Rinse with water spray and dry with oil-free air. Avoid over-drying.
  • Do not use alcohol for cleaning, as it may dehydrate dentin.

Try-in of the Restoration and Drying:

• • Check the shade, fit, and occlusion of the restoration.
  • Make necessary adjustments with fine diamonds if needed, using water for cooling.
  • Use rubber dams or alternative isolation methods to prevent contamination.
  • If contamination occurs, clean the dental hard tissue again.

Pre-treatment of the Restoration:

• • Rinse the restoration and dry it with oil-free air.
  • Coat the bonding surface with Ivoclean and allow it to react.
  • Rinse the restoration and dry it with oil-free air.
  • Apply Monobond N if necessary, following the specific guidelines for the restoration type.

Mixing of Multilink N Primer A and B:

• • Mix Multilink N Primer A and B in a 1:1 ratio (within a 10-minute window).

Application of the mixed Multilink N Primer A/B:

• • Apply the mixed primer onto the entire bonding surface.
  • Start with the enamel surface and scrub it in.
  • Disperse excess with blown air; no light-curing is necessary.

Application of Multilink N to the Restoration:

• • Dispense Multilink N onto the restoration.
  • Apply it directly to the inner surface of the restoration.

Placement of the Restoration and Removal of Excess Cement:

• • Seat the restoration and secure it in place.
  • Remove excess material immediately with suitable tools.
  • Follow the specific technique instructions for self-curing, self-curing with additional light-curing, or other methods.

Finishing of the Restoration:

• • Finish the cement joints if necessary.
  • Polish restoration margins and cement joints with suitable polishers.
  • Check occlusion and function and make adjustments as needed.
