I am looking for a high quality, total-etch bonding agent that is dual-cured and can be used in all bonding applications. Do you have any recommendations?

There is a new 4th-generation, total-etch bonding agent that fits that description. ALL-BOND 3 (Bisco Dental Products, Inc.) is a new formulation of their long-standing product All-Bond 2, which offers several advantages:

  • Dual-cured
  • Ethanol-based – can create a more stable long-term bond
  • ALL-BOND 3 resin is radiopaque – much better appearance radiographically
  • ALL-BOND 3 resin is HEMA-free.

ALL-BOND 3 is recommended for all direct and indirect bonding applications.
