Ivoclar Multilink N System Pack is a trusted and versatile solution for dental practitioners, offering a universal luting composite system that ensures strong and long-lasting bonds for a wide range of restorative materials. This system is designed to simplify the adhesive cementation process, making it suitable for inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, and root posts, regardless of the material used. The luting composite in the Multilink N System Pack is characterized by its advanced composition, which includes a monomer matrix of methacrylate and HEMA, along with inorganic fillers such as barium glass, ytterbium trifluoride, and spheroid mixed oxide. These components contribute to the material's strength, durability, and radiopacity, ensuring both clinical performance and visibility on dental X-rays. One of the standout features of Multilink N is its easy-to-use self-etch adhesive, Multilink N Primer. This adhesive is specifically coordinated with the luting composite, providing excellent sealing of dentin, ensuring superior marginal integrity, and delivering high bond strength to both enamel and dentin. This bond strength can be achieved in as little as ten minutes, streamlining the restoration process. Additionally, the Multilink N System Pack offers the convenience of easy cleanup of excess cement, saving valuable time during dental procedures. The material's properties and coordinated system provide dental professionals with a reliable, efficient, and predictable solution for cementing various restorations with confidence.

Direction To Use:
Removal of Temporary Restoration and Cleaning of the Cavity:
- Remove any residue of the temporary luting cement from the cavity or preparation using a polishing brush and an oil and fluoride-free cleaning paste.
- Rinse with a water spray and dry with air that is free of water and oil. Avoid over-drying.
Try-In of the Restoration and Drying:
- Check the shade, fit, and occlusion of the restoration.
- Make necessary adjustments with fine diamonds if required. Be cautious with fragile ceramic objects.
- If using an adhesive luting protocol with composites, ensure safe isolation of the operating field (e.g., rubber dam or cotton rolls with a saliva ejector).
Pre-Treatment of the Restoration:
- Rinse the restoration with a water spray and dry it with oil-free air.
- Thoroughly coat the bonding surface of the restoration with Ivoclean using a micro brushor brush.
- Allow Ivoclean to react for 20 seconds, rinse with water spray, and dry with oil-free air.
- For certain restorations (e.g., lithium disilicate glass ceramics or zirconium oxide ceramics), apply Monobond N to cleaned surfaces using a brush or micro brush. Allow it to react for 60 seconds and disperse with a strong stream of air.
Mixing of Multilink N Primer A and Multilink N Primer B:
- Mix the two primer liquids (Multilink N Primer A and B) in a 1:1 ratio (e.g., 1 drop Primer A and 1 drop Primer B). The mixed primer is solely self-curing and must be applied within 10 minutes.
Application of the Mixed Multilink N Primer A/B:
- Apply the mixed Multilink N Primer A/B onto the entire bonding surface using a micro brush, starting with the enamel surface, and scrub it in for 30 seconds.
- Disperse excess with blown air. No light-curing is necessary.
Application of Multilink N to the Restoration:
- Place a new automix tip on the syringe for each application.
- Dispense Multilink N from the automix syringe and apply the desired amount to the restoration.
- Replace the mixing tip with a new one before the next use.
Placement of the Restoration and Removal of Excess Cement:
- Seat the restoration in place and secure it.
- Remove excess material immediately with a micro brush, brush, foam pellet, dental floss, or scaler.
- For self-curing with additional light-curing (quarter technique), light-cure excess cement in quarter segments.
- Remove excess rapidly in challenging areas (proximal areas, gingival margins, pontics).
- Light-cure all the margins again for 20 seconds.
Finishing of the Restoration:
- Finish the cement joints with preparation diamonds if necessary.
- Polish restoration margins/cement joints with suitable polishers and finishing and polishing strips.
- Check occlusion and function and make adjustments if necessary.
