Evaluators’ Comments

• “It did not run all over the tooth when being air dried – it stayed where I put it.”
  
• “After drying, it was easy to tell if you have a nice layer of material over the entire surface to be bonded.”
  
• “It handled just like Scotchbond Universal and I love the radiopaque feature.”
  
• “The re-designed bottle delivers a very small amount at a time.”
  
• “I did not experience any post-op sensitivity.”
  
• “You can use it with many more bonding procedures without the need for a separate activator.”
  
• “I like its slightly thicker consistency. This gives me the feeling that I am properly coating the cavity preparation.”
  
• “Can pool at line angles if you don’t thoroughly air dry.”
