Placement of the restoration with Variolink N

-Inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges

• Apply the mixed Variolink N to the area of the restoration which is to be bonded.
• First, place restoration in situ with slight pressure and remove excess with a brush or another suitable instrument.
• When working on large restorations, make sure to remove excess material in time, especially in areas that are difficult to reach (proximal or gingival margins).
• Increase pressure and maintain for several seconds. Remove the Variolink N excess thus forced out with a brush.
