Universal, adhesive, self-adhesive, self-leveling, bioactive, bioceramic…
There are plenty of words being used to describe today’s modern dental materials, but what do they actually mean? When it comes to bonding agents, many materials boast a “universal” claim, purporting compatibility with almost all restorative materials and techniques. But often, after a healthy dose of trial and error, many clinicians find that these products don’t exactly live up to their name. However, there are exceptions, especially in the case of BISCO’s All-Bond Universal.
A Single-Bottle Adhesive That Does It All
The result of over 30 years of adhesive research by BISCO researchers and scientists, All-Bond Universal has been at the top of clinicians’ go-to product lists for over a decade. As Dr. Abraham Jaskiel can attest, “One material does it all. It’s an etchant, primer, and adhesive, all in one.” All-Bond Universal remarkably affords compatibility with all light-, self-, and dual-cured materials in all direct and indirect procedures, while also offering the flexibility to use total-, self- and selective-etch techniques.
It can be used on wet surfaces, produces a strong bond with all substrates, and contains MDP monomers for enhanced durability. Lastly, because All-Bond Universal includes everything you need in a 6-mL bottle or 0.2-mL unit dose and requires no activator, it helps streamline inventory and simplify treatment setup.
Reliable Bonding Without Sensitivity
All-Bond Universal is ideal for delivering long-lasting restorations with virtually no postoperative sensitivity. “The no-etch adhesives I used before regularly caused sensitivity,” Dr. Jaskiel noted. “As soon as I started using All-Bond Universal, the incidence of sensitivity decreased dramatically.”
All-Bond Universal’s unique chemistry allows for the adhesive layer to become hydrophobic after polymerization, which enhances durability over time. Its low film thickness ensures proper fit of indirect restorations, giving clinicians peace of mind that their dental work will last. “I haven’t had any fractures,” concluded Dr. Jaskiel. “I have confidence that this adhesive really works.”
