Cerinate Prime & Porcelain Conditioner FAQs Order Now
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.
