Single-component primer etches and silanates One-step conditioning simplifies glass-ceramics 20-second agitation plus 40-second reaction Suitable for lithium disilicate glass-ceramics 5 g bottle supports controlled chairside use Quantity: 1 per Pack Ivoclar Vivadent Monobond Etch & Prime Refill, 5g is used for conditioning glass-ceramic bonding surfaces before adhesive cementation. This single-component ceramic primer combines etching and silanization in one clinical step, helping prepare the internal surface of compatible glass-ceramic restorations for bonding with luting composites, and it is designed for glass-ceramic materials, including lithium disilicate systems, where controlled surface pretreatment is required before final cementation. Each pack contains one 5g bottle of ready-to-use, single-component liquid primer for extraoral treatment of compatible glass-ceramic surfaces.Dental offices ordering ceramic primer from their supplier can buy this refill for its combined etching and silanization function, keeping a clear distinction from universal primers intended for zirconia, metal, or other non-glass-ceramic substrates. The standard application protocol involves agitating the material on the bonding surface for 20 seconds, allowing it to react for an additional 40 seconds, thoroughly rinsing with water, and then drying with a strong stream of air. Monobond Etch & Prime works by combining a self-etching phase with silane-based surface conditioning in one application. The material modifies the glass-ceramic bonding surface and then establishes a silanized interface that supports adhesion to compatible resin luting materials.This one-step ceramic conditioning approach eliminates the need to perform a separate hydrofluoric-acid etching step followed by a separate silane application when the product is used according to its designated protocol, and the controlled 20-second agitation and 40-second reaction sequence helps create a repeatable surface-treatment process, while subsequent rinsing removes residual material before the restoration is dried and prepared for the next cementation step in the adhesive workflow.
