Product Features

PRIMA 2000 (B.J.M. Laboratories) has a low viscosity and good wetting ability for complete coverage of the etched surface. Material should be dispensed at the time of use, as the acetone solvent evaporates quickly. It can be dispensed directly onto a brush tip for small procedures or into a well for application onto multiple teeth. A shorter procedure time and curing time would have been preferred. PRIMA 2000 (B.J.M. Laboratories) is colorless and conducive to esthetic restorations with no white line at the margin.
