Product Features

Consultants reported that ACE ALL-BOND TE was easy to use with the ACE Delivery System. Uniform drops were dispensed into a well and then mixed by hand to produce a dual-cured bonding agent. The material has good viscosity and wets the tooth surface well. Working time is adequate for multiple restorations. Some consultants commented that the 20-second curing time was too long. Forty-two percent of consultants reported that ACE ALL-BOND TE was better than their current bonding agent and 42% reported it was equivalent. Sixty-seven percent would switch to ACE ALL-BOND TE and 83% would recommend it.

Clinical Tips

ACE ALL-BOND TE should be refrigerated if it will not be used within 60 days after opening.

Mix immediately before use.

Dispense a new amount when doing multiple restorations; it evaporates and quickly hardens in well.
