Dependable assistance for fast, easy procedures
Cerinate Prime is a one bottle, no-mix organosilane, ceramic primer. Research has shown it to increase and enhance the bond between composite resin and porcelain. It can be used in enhancing the bond of LUMINEERS with Ultra-Bond Plus, as well as all composite resin luting cements with porcelain veneers. It also plays an important role in porcelain repair after the porcelain surface has been microabraded or etched with a porcelain etching agent like Porcelock Porcelain Etchant. As a ceramic primer, Cerinate Prime allows the clinician to create a high strength chemical bond between porcelain and composite that is microleakage free.
Porcelain Conditioner is a citric acid pretreatment to activate and hydrolyze Cerinate Prime ceramic primer. The use of Porcelain Conditioner as a pretreatment combined with the use of a silane ceramic primer, Cerinate Prime, improves the durability of the porcelain-composite resin bond both in the bonding of all-ceramic restorations and for porcelain repair.

What is the purpose of Porcelain Conditioner?
Porcelain Conditioner is a citric acid used as a pre-treatment to activate and hydrolyze the Cerinate Prime. It also removes dust and cleans pre-etched LUMINEERS to prepare them for bonding. It is not a porcelain etchant, which is a common misconception.
What is the purpose of Cerinate Prime?
Cerinate Prime is an organosilane ceramic primer, which creates the chemical bond between the LUMINEERS and the Ultra-Bond.
Can either of these steps be eliminated?
No! Both the Porcelain Conditioner and Cerinate Prime are essential steps in the LUMINEERS placement procedure. Eliminating either of the steps would result in bond failure.
