Direction of use
1. Bonding agent for adhesive restorations

Etch desired enamel surfaces (see preparation of the enamel). If necessary, cover exposed dentin surfaces with Syntac Adhesive (see Syntac instructions for use) or appropriate base material.
Apply a thin layer of Heliobond onto the etched enamel surface using a brush or spherical instrument.
An optimal, thin layer can be achieved using a stream of air.
If used in combination with light-curing luting composites, Heliobond does not require separate polymerization. For direct restorations, separate polymerization of Heliobond is required: Light-cure for 10 s using a light intensity of 500 to 1100 mW/cm2 (e.g. Bluephase).
Application of the composite.
Polymerization of the composite.
Finishing of the restoration.

2. Transparent sealant for fissures and pits

Etch desired enamel surfaces (see preparation of the enamel).
Apply Heliobond into the fissures using a suitable instrument or brush. Avoid entrapment of air and wait for approx. 15 s to allow penetration.
Polymerize with light for 20 s using a light intensity of 500 to 1100 mW/cm2 (e.g. Bluephase).
After curing, remove inhibited layer. Check occlusion and grind off any excess material.

3. Preparation of resin repair work

Roughen the smooth resin surfaces.
If necessary, apply Monobond  Plus (see Monobond Plus instructions for use).
Apply a thin layer of Heliobond (use a stream of air, if necessary).
Polymerize with light for 10 s using a light intensity of 500 to 1100 mW/cm2 (e.g. Bluephase).
