  • “I liked the lack of residual color.”
  • “Excellent dispensing.”
  • “Variety of uses in one adhesive.”
  • “Wets the tooth surface well.”
  • “The application was faster and easier because the film thickness and viscosity were thinner than my current bond. The excess was also easier to thin out and remove.”

Description

iBond Universal is a universal, light-curing adhesive that:

  • Has a unique moisture control system for dentin penetration
  • Is an acetone base which quickly evaporates water making this material easier to air dry, reduces technique sensitivity and supports a homogeneous bonding layer
  • Is a versatile universal material
  • Does not require dual-cure activator
  • Can be used in self-etch, total-etch, or selective etch modes
  • Has an exclusive drop control bottle

Clinical Tip

Unique Attributes

  • Many evaluators commented on the lack of sensitivity they experienced with this material.
  • Color of the material was near clear, making it more versatile as there was no concern when placing restorations in the esthetic zone.

Indications

  • Bonding of direct restorations for all cavity classes using light-curing, dual-curing or self-curing methacrylate-based composites/compomers.
  • Bonding of light-curing, dual-curing or self-curing core build-up materials.
  • Sealing of hypersensitive tooth areas.
  • Bonding of fissure sealants.
  • Sealing of cavities and core preparations prior to temporary cementation of indirect restorations (according to the immediate dentin sealing technique).
  • Cementation of indirect restorations with light-curing, dual-curing or self-curing adhesive resin cements.
  • Sealing of cavities prior to amalgam restorations.
