The usage protocol will depend on each substrate and/or surface material to which we will bond: enamel/dentin, composite resin, metal, zirconia, lithium disilicate, hybrid materials, fiberglass, or feldspathic ceramics. 

Important: Before any procedure, color matching should be done at the beginning of treatment with the hydrated or saliva-moistened dental piece. This phase is crucial, as failure to do so can lead to variation due to dehydration of the dental structure, resulting in inaccurate color matching values that could affect the final aesthetic outcome of the restoration. 

Dental Surface Preparation: 

1. Isolate the working area and prosthetic preparation. 
2. Perform acid etching with 35% or 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds. 
3. Rinse thoroughly with water until all acid is removed. 
4. Dry the cavity without dehydrating the dentin or leaving excess water on the surface. 
5. Apply K-Bond + Universal adhesive, rubbing it actively across the entire dental surface. 
6. Apply a light air stream for 10 seconds to evaporate the ethanol solvent. 
7. Prosthetic Surface Preparation (check the adhesive bonding protocol according to the material type: composite resin, metal, zirconia, lithium disilicate, hybrid materials, fiberglass, or feldspathic ceramics). Each of them is treated differently. 
8. Apply Dual Cem to the prosthetic surface that has been previously conditioned under the strict adhesive protocol. 
9. Position the prosthetic piece. 
10. Remove excess material using a brush or micro applicator. 
11. Light-cure for 20 seconds on each side (occlusal, vestibular, palatal/lingual). 
12. Finish, polish, and shine the interface between the restoration and the tooth.
