1. Remove temporary and any temporary cement residue. Rinse with water spray. Note: Use only eugenol-free temporary cements (eugenol may inhibit polymerization of Appeal and other luting cements).
   
2. Try in. Check restoration shade with Appeal Try-In Pastes. Occlusion should not be inspected at this time to prevent restoration from fracturing. Make interproximal adjustments. Re-polish with porcelain or composite polishers.
   
3. Isolate with rubber dam.
   
4. Clean restoration. Rinse Appeal try-in paste off restoration with water spray and dry with oil and water free air. Clean surface with phosphoric acid etch for 15 sec. Rinse and dry.
   
5. Verify lab has pre-treated restoration. Apply silane to internal aspects of restoration and allow to remain intact for 60 sec. Dry with oil and water free air. Do not rinse.
   
6. Apply Total Etch (37% phosphoric acid gel) for 15 sec. to enamel and 10 sec. To dentin. Rinse off with at least 5 sec. Of water spray. Remove excess moisture so dentin surface retains lightly moist sheen. Do not desiccate dentin.
   
7. Apply bonding agent. Note: Accidental etching of adjacent teeth prevented and removal of excess Appeal simplified by placing matrix strips in proximal spaces. Secure matrix strips in place with suitable interdental wedges.
   
8. Dispense Appeal Base and Catalyst onto mixing pad and mix for 10 sec. Working time approx. 2 - 3 min. at 37 °C /99 °F. Important: Appeal is sensitive to any type of light with blue component (operating lights, ambient light). Only mix immediately before applied. Avoid exposure to intensive light during application. Excessive mixing may result in trapped air, which may slow down polymerization and compromise mechanical properties.
   
9. Fully cured Appeal can be hard to remove from areas difficult to reach with rotary or oscillating instruments. Remove excess cement prior to complete setting.
   
10. Place mixed Appeal in cavity and/or apply to interior surfaces of restorations (if concave surfaces are involved to avoid trapping air) using a brush or spatula. Like all composites, Appeal is affected by oxygen inhibition. Can be resolved by: 1) Leave minimal Appeal excess. Polymerized material easy to remove when margins are finished. 2) Cover restoration margins with Liquid Strip (glycerine gel) after removing excess material, but before polymerization.
    
11. Polymerize Appeal from facial, lingual, and occlusal surfaces beginning with proximal margins (polymerize through transparent interdental wedges).
    
12. Finish restoration with fine diamonds (grit size less than 25 µm) and flexible discs. Finish proximal areas with finishing and polishing strips. Check occlusion and make adjustments if necessary (with fine diamonds at 3,000 – 7,000 rpm and using light pressure). Re-polish ground surfaces. Polish restoration margins with silicone polishers (Politip-F/-P, Astropol) or discs.
