2. OptiBond™ Universal – Kerr Restoratives
OptiBond™ Universal is a single component, light-cure adhesive, providing excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces and substrates for both direct and indirect applications. Can be used in self-etch, selective etch, and total etch techniques.
3. Futurabond U Single Dose by Voco
Futurabond U is a dual-cure universal adhesive in a Single Dose delivery system. It can be used in self-etch, selective-etch or total-etch technique and works with all light-, self- or dual-cure composite based materials. Applied in a single layer, this universal adhesive creates a strong bond to enamel and dentin. At the same time it also bonds to metal, zirconia, aluminum oxide and silicate ceramics without a primer, saving the cost of additional materials.
- Intraoral repair of fillings, ceramic veneers and all-ceramic restorations without additional primer
- Treatment of hypersensitive tooth necks
- Protective varnish for glass ionomer cement restorations
- Sealing of cavities prior to amalgam restorations or prior to temporary luting
- Fast and easy one-coat application (apply, dry and cure in 35 seconds)
- No solvent evaporation
- Easy, quick and hygienic – one-step activation blister
- No additional devices required
- No spilling in any position
4. Monobond® Etch and Prime
Monobond® Etch and Prime is a self-etching, single component, glass ceramic primer that improves both efficiency and safety during pretreatment of dental restorations.
- Shorter pretreatment procedure
- No need for hydrofluoric acid in the practice
- Generates a strong and durable bond
5. Clearfil™ SE Bond
This resin-based adhesive system is simple and easy, self-etching, light-cure bonding agent that soothes dentin on contact and virtually eliminates postoperative sensitivity.
6. OptiBond™ eXTRA Universal
OptiBond™ eXTRA Universal Two-Component Self-Etch Adhesive is a light-curable system that includes a self-etch primer and a universal adhesive. The primer provides effective etching to enamel and dentin without the need for a separate phosphoric acid etch. The adhesive helps reinforce bond strength. This bonding agent’s chemistry allows for compatibility with virtually all self-cure or dual-cure resin cements and core buildup materials. Dentists can therefore utilize it for their direct and indirect restoration procedures without the need for a secondary bonding.
- Outstanding bond strengths to dentin and enamel with enhanced marginal integrity, and reduced microleakage for long-lasting restorations
