Guide to suggested STM for ZrO2 ceramics.
| | Ceramics type | Commercial brands | STM | Primers/silane | Resin cement (RC) |
| | Y-TZP ZrO2 | Lava, Cercon, Emax ZIR-CAD, Procera Zirconia
| 50–150 µm Al2O3 air-abrasion, with 2.5 bars, 10 mm distance, for 15 seconds | — | Phosphate monomer containing RC (Rely-X U200, Panavia F, and Panavia 2.1) | | Phosphate monomer containing solutions: Alloy Primer, Clearfil Ceramic Primer, or Kuraray’s Clearfil Repair Kit | Dual or chemical cured RC (check compatibility with previous applied solutions) | | Glass infiltrated ZrO2 | In-Ceram Zirconia | 25 µm Al2O3 air-abrasion with 2.8 bars, 10 mm distance, for 15 s. | — | Phosphate monomer containing RC (Rely-X U200, Panavia F, and Panavia 2.1) | | Air-abrasion with Si-coating Al2O3 particles (CoJet or Rocatec system), at 4.5 bars, 10 mm distance, for 10 s. | Phosphate monomer containing solutions: Alloy Primer, Clearfil Ceramic Primer, or Kuraray’s Clearfil Repair Kit | Dual or chemical cured RC (check compatibility with previous applied solutions) |
