Cementation Checklist for All Cements

TOOTH-Preparation

RESTORATION- Crown/Veneer/Onlay/Inlay

Follow the sequence for prep (white) and restoration (grey) (From 1-8):

1. Remove temporary +
Clean prep to remove residual cement

1. Try-in on die and solid model

  1. Try-in + Adjustments
    *Veneers: Try-in one at a time and then all together (check sequence) using water OR try-in paste OR water soluble medium (KY Jelly). Select the shade of the cement according to the shade of the try-in paste

3. Confirm seating with radiograph and/or fit checker (if necessary)

4. Isolate the tooth/teeth (Rubber dam or Isolite)

5. Try-in one more time with the rubber dam/Isolite to verify complete seating

6. Clean (fluoride-free pumice) and disinfect the prep (2% CHX)

6. Clean restoration (steam clean) and DO NOT place it back on the cast
