Ivoclar Vivadent launched M nobond S as silanizi g product omposed of trimetho ypropyl methacrylate and solvent in 991. It pro ved its cli ical efficie cy in a nu mber of st dies [1] and su ported the success of glass cer amic resto ations in combination with Variolink II or Dual C ment. In 200 Monobon d Plus was launche by Ivocl r Vivaden . Monobo d Plus allows the priming and conditioning of different r storative ubstrates. It contains the silan plus a phosphoric acid methacrylate and a sul hide in one bottle. Its efficiency could be proved in several studies [6]
1.3 Et hing with hydrofluoric acid The combination f silanization and et hing of glass ceram c surfaces showed t e most effectiv bonding of luting c mposites to glass c ramics [7]. The appliication of diluted hydrofl oric acid f orms a retentive etch ing pattern by dissol ing silicon ions in th glassy state. ilicon has a high c emical af inity to fluoride ions. The form ed silicon fluoride derivati es are soluble and can be rapi ly washed off with w ter. Etchi g of glass ceramic with HF gel is an stablished method co mmonly carried out in the techni ian labora ory. But also dentists know the techni ue. Unfortunately hydr ofluoric acid is a very strong poi on [8] even in the di solute state. It is a weak acid and ca burn the skin. After penetrating it moves q ickly into d eeper tiss e layers and releases the freely dissociable flu oride anio . Fluoride is very to ic due to its high reactivi y. It reacts with cellul r calcium nd magnesium to for insoluble salts. This induces cellular deaths an necrosis. kin conta t with HF ( ven in dilu e solutions ) can caus painful burns t at heal very slowly. Latent dam ages can also be ob erved sin e the fluo ide ions penetrate through all layers of the epid ermis, der mis and e en the de eper subcutaneous tissues causing s vere dest uction, ne rosis and injuries to the underl aying bon due to decalci ication. The hi h toxic potential is t e reason why in so e countri s the app lication of ceramic etching gel is forbidden. A safer but also efficient allternative would be a reat benef it for the user.

tch & Pri me
Mono ond Etch & Prime is a single bottle cer amic prim r which allows etching a nd silaniza ion of the glass cera mic surfac in one step. It contains a trimetho ypropyl m thacrylate for silanization and a ne polyfluoriide for th etching tep. The etching cr eates a roughness patter n which is less prono nced than with HF g l but as efficient for bond ing. The f llowing sil nization re action is similar as with onobond S or Monobond Plus. The effici ency of M nobond Etch Prime is proved by a number of intra- a d extramural bond strength tests (se e chapter ).

Subsequently, the specimens were bonded to Multicore Flow cylinders using Variolink Esthetic (see Fig. 7: Test specimen for tensile strength testing. Whilst the reaction time required for hydrofluoric acid etching varied from material to material, Monobond Etch & Prime allowed all the ceramic samples to be conditioned using the same contact time (scrubbing for 20s; leaving to react for 40s). To determine the aging resistance of the adhesive bond, a number of specimens were artificially aged by subjecting them to thermocycling (10,000 cycles between 5 and 55°C). After thermocycling, the tensile bond strength was determined using a universal testing machine (Z010, Zwick-Roell). Zughaftung mit Variolink Esthetic 70 60 ] a50 P M [

Tensile str ength of various adhesives and primers on IPS e.max CAD
R&D Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, FL Some manufacturers claim that their universal adhesives can generate a sufficiently strong bond to both the tooth structure and restorative material and are therefore suitable for being used as a bonding agent on ceramic materials after hydrofluoric acid etching. The bonding strength of various product combinations consisting of adhesive / primer and luting composite was examined in relation to the following products: Manufacturer 3M ESPE Kerr BISCO Ivoclar Vivadent

Conclusion: The investigation has shown that Monobond Etch & Prime produces an
adhesive bond that is similarly strong and reliable as the bond established with Monobond Plus after hydrofluoric acid etching. By contrast, the universal adhesives resulted in a clearly weaker adhesive bond with spontaneous bond rupturing occurring in some samples in the course of thermocycling.

4. Bi ocompa ibility 4.1 Int roduction Medicall devices re subject to very s trict requir ements, w ich are d esigned to protect patient and operators from any potentia l biological risks. ISO 0993 “Biol ogical eval ation of medicall devices” efines ho the biolo ical safety of a medi al device is to be evaluated. Further more, dental medical devices a re subject to ISO 7 05 “Precli nical evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistr ”. The biocompatibilit of Monob nd Etch & Prim has been examined ccording t these sta dards.
4.2 Cy totoxicity Cytotoxicity refers to the destructive acti n of a substance or ixture of s ubstances on cells. The XTT assay is used to examine whe her or not a substance causes c ell death o inhibits cell pro liferation in a cell cult re. The XT T50 value r efers to th concentra tion of a s bstance which r educes the cell number by half. The lower the XTT50 concentrati on of a su stance, the mo e cytotoxic it is. The cytotoxicity of Monobond Etch & Pri e was tested in vitro according to ISO 109 3-5 (1). Monob nd Etch & Prime is w ter soluble and only howed a c totoxic eff ct on the 929 cell line ex mined wh n applied in very hi h concent ations. Th calculate d XTT50 value was 1979.1 g/ml Given that Monobond Et h & Prime is applied nly in smal l amounts t a time and the applicatio procedure is perform ed extraorally, the cyt toxic risk o f Monobon Etch & Prime i very low f r the patient and use .
4.3 Genotoxicit Genotoxicity refer to the ca ability of genetic material.
substanc or a mixture of sub tances to damage
Monob nd Etch & Prime has been exa ined regar ding its pot ntial gene damaging effect in a num er of mutagenicity te ts. Neithe the Ames assay no the mous e lymphoma assay (MLA) howed an gene damaging effec t for Mono ond Etch Prime (2, 3): On the basis of these r sults, it can be assu ed that Mo nobond Etch & Prime does not h ave any m tagenic potenti l.
4.4 Sk in irritation and ski n damage The irritation potential of Monobond Et h & Prim was measured usin g an EpiD rm skin model (4). To con uct the test, undiluted Monobon Etch & Pr me was di ectly appli d to the EpiDer model fo 60 minutes before th e irritation ffect was ssessed. he test sh wed an irritatio potential f or Monobo d Etch & rime. The corrosive effect of Mon bond Etch & Prime as exami ed in anot her epider al skin model (5). After a 3-minute application ti me, the corrosive effect of Mono bond Etch & Prime was lo ; after 60 inutes the corrosive e ffect had i creased. Monob nd Etch & Prime is designed to have an e ching effe t on cera ic surface . It may therefo e be expected that i has also an irritating and corr osive effec t on the skin. The results showed that a short c ntact time does not d mage the kin.

Once t e etching rocedure as been co mpleted, onobond tch & Prim e is rinsed from the restoration. Theref ore, patien s are not t risk of b ing affected by the et ching effe t. Users are ma e aware of the mate ial's etchin g effect in he Instructions for Us e and notes on the packagiing. Furthe more, the tching effe ct of Monobond Etch Prime is f ar less severe than the etc ing effect of hydroflu ric acid, hich is wi ely used i ceramic tching pro edures. Given the widespr ad dental use of hyd ofluoric acid, it is ass med that sers have practice in handling corrosi e substan es.
4.5 Sensitizatio Monob nd Etch & Prime co tains met acrylate derivatives. Such mate rials may have an irritatin effect and cause se sitization, hich can lead to alle gic contact dermatitis. Allergic reactio s are extr mely rare in patients but are increasingly bserved i dental personnel, who handle uncur d composite material on a daily basis. The e reaction s can be minimized by clea working conditions and avoidin contact of the unpolymerized m terial with he skin. Comm nly emplo ed gloves, made of latex or vinyl, do n t provide effective p otection against sensitizati n to such ompounds .
4.6 Co nclusion : -
-
Monobond Etch & Pri e is slightl y cytotoxic. It is in the nature of onobond tch & Prime to have n etching effect because it is designed t etch glas -ceramic aterials. T e etching ompounds are rinsed off after completion of the extraoral appl ication procedure an therefore do not c me into contact wit the patient. Monobond Etch & P ime contai ns metha rylates, w ich may c ause sensitization; allergic reactions, however, are e tremely rare in patients. On the ba is of the information known to date, Monobond Etc h & Prime can be considered non-genot xic.
The results have shown that Monobond Etch & Prime is safe for use in umans if it is used according to the I structions for Use. It can be co cluded that the bene fits provided by the product exceed any potential risk.
