The RMGI should be be mixed immediately prior to isolating and drying the tooth so that the material is ready for placement. In this way, the amount of time managing or restraining the child is kept to a minimum. One level scoop of powder is used for each drop of liquid. Using a cement spatula, mix for 10-15 seconds until the Vitrebond is a smooth and glossy consistency.

When the tooth is isolated, then dry with air or gauze until the tooth is moist (i.e. not really wet - do not desiccate the tooth).
