• Unparalleled bond strengths to Zirconia, Alumina and Metal Restorations
• Versatility and durability with many different substrates: Composites & Endo Posts
• Compatible with light-cured and dual-cured resin luting cements
• Excellent for short clinical & non-retentive crowns and intra-oral repairs
• Quick, Convenient and Easy to Use

Z-Prime Plus steps

• Try in & Sandblast
• ZirClean to expose bonding sites
• Z-Prime Plus
• DuoLink Luting Cement or your preferred luting cement
• All Bond Universal on tooth & Place restoration

If you Lute ZIRCONIA, you must use ZIRCLEAN & Z PRIME PLUS for a Hydrophobic Seal
Z-Prime Plus is not needed with TheraCem

BISCO’s Z-PRIME™ PLUS unique combination of two active monomers MDP, a phosphate monomer, and BPDM, a carboxylate monomer gives it a synergistic effect resulting in high bond strengths between indirect zirconia restorative materials and composite resin cements.

Laboratory research proves Shear Bond Strength of 23 Mpa at 2 hours.
Use with DuoLink or other manufacturers adhesives and luting cements. Adding Z-Prime Plus means you will double your bond strength.
Bisco’s Z Prime-Plus is the most stable MDP zirconia primer over time.

Z-Prime Plus has only a 2-micron film thickness.  That allows ideal space for your luting material in order to allow adequate seating of crowns, inlays & onlays, bridges and posts.

Z-Prime Plus bonds short zirconia crowns and non-retentive restorations. 

How to treat Zirconia:

• Try-in
• Lightly Sandblast with Microetcher at 30-45 psi use 50-micron aluminium oxide. Hold at 1-2cm distance and at a 60o angle for 20 seconds
• Clean & de-contaminate with ZirClean to re-expose the bonding site
• Apply 2 coats of Z-Prime Plus onto Zirconia or metal restoration & dry
• Use D/C Resin Luting cement such as DuoLink
• Prepare tooth surface with All-Bond Universal & manufacturer’s instructions
• Seat restoration

CLINICAL TIPS: 

1. Do not use phosphoric acid on Zirconia – it takes up the bonding sites
2. Do not use Silane on Zirconia - because it acts as a separator
3. Do not use combination materials, such as Silane & MDP, this combination degrades faster, and has weaker bond strength (10 Mpa).  Silane not only breaks down when in combination with acidic MDP.
