bondstrengths. If usinga separator, perhaps glycerin instead,
and maybe immediately seal dentin prior to provisionaliza-
tion. May ultimately be a better bond. Once you get the hang

bonding issues will be more predictable. Hang in there!

If I have non-retentive prep, always do IDSwithOptiBond,

Sandra, inmy opinion, cotton rolls and dry angles
are insufficient; if you take a mirror and breathe
on it, you will notice moisture on the mirror. When someone
is breathing, their breath can and will contaminate the bond.
I recommend a product called Izolation. It is cheaper and
actually much better than Isolite. I have used both systems
for years. Or use a rubber dam. Bonding has many steps and,
at any point, failure can occur without you knowing it.
Let us know how it goes!
