Yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramic, TZ-3Y-E, (YZr), Tosoh, Tokyo, JapanZrO2, Y2O3, HfO2, Al2O3

Lithium disilicate ceramics, IPS e.max CAD (LDS), Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, LiechtensteinSiO2, Li2O, K2O, P2O5, ZrO2, ZnO, Al2O3, MgO, coloring oxides

Precious metal alloy, Castmaster 12S, (Pd-Au), IDS, Tokyo, JapanAu 12%, Pd 20%, Ag 54%, Cu 12%, additives

Alloy Primer, Kuraray Noritake, Japan>90% acetone, 10-MDPRoughen, wash with water, and dry the metal surface
Apply alloy primer to the metal with a sponge and leave it for drying
Prepare the tooth surface, core, or abutment
Cement with Panavia™ V5 resin cement

Dual-cure resin luting agent, Panavia™ V5, (PV5), Kuraray Noritake, JapanPaste A: Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, hydrophobic aromatic dimethacrylate, hydrophilic aliphatic dimethacrylate, initiators, accelerators, silanated barium glass filler, silanated aluminum oxide filler, colloidal silica
Paste B: Bis-GMA, hydrophobic aromatic dimethacrylate, hydrophilic aliphatic dimethacrylate, initiators, accelerators, silanated barium glass filler, silanated aluminum oxide filler, accelerators, dl-camphorquinone, pigments
Attach a mixing tip or an endo tip to the syringe of Panavia V5 paste in the usual manner.
Mix the pastes and apply the mixture over the entire adherent surface and place the metal device.
Remove any excess cement
Nontranslucent materials: allow the cement to chemical cure by letting it set for 3 min after placement of the prosthetic restoration.
Translucent materials: light cure the entire surface of the prosthetic restoration using the dental curing unit. If the area to light cure is larger than the light-emitting tip, divide the exposure process into a few applications.

Clearfil™ Ceramic Primer Plus, Kuraray Noritake, Japan10-MDP, γ-MTPS, ethanol(1) Prepare the adherent (metal, zirconia, glass-ceramic, resin)
(2) Dispense the necessary amount of Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus into a well of the mixing dish immediately before application
(3) Dry the entire adherent surface sufficiently using mild, oil-free airflow
