The 3M Single Bond Universal Adhesive Refill in the 5 mL "Export Package" is a versatile, all-in-one dental bonding solution that offers high, long-term bond strength with a simple and efficient 35-second application time. This product is globally trusted and can be used with all etching techniques, in both direct and indirect applications, making it a staple for any dental practice.
Note on "Export Package": Products labeled as "Export Package" are genuine 3M items intended by the manufacturer for sale in markets outside of the USA. They are reimported and may feature different packaging, non-English language markings, or different quantities compared to the domestic version, often offering a cost advantage. The product performance remains the same as the standard domestic version (Manufacturer Code #41282 vs. #41258 USA version).
Key Features and Benefits
- Versatility: This adhesive combines total-etch, self-etch, and selective-etch capabilities, suitable for various clinical approaches.
- Reduced Post-Op Sensitivity: Its unique chemistry, including the 3M Vitrebond copolymer and MDP monomer, helps minimize sensitivity by creating a uniform hybrid layer and sealing dentin tubules on both moist and dry dentin.
- High Bond Strength: It offers reliable bond strength to various dental surfaces like enamel, dentin, ceramics, zirconia, alumina, and metals without the need for a separate primer.
- Efficient Workflow: The one-step, one-coat application takes just 35 seconds, streamlining procedures and reducing contamination risks.
- Dual-Cure Compatibility: The adhesive works with light-cure procedures and can be used with self- or dual-cure methods when combined with the 3M Single Bond Universal DCA Dual Cure Activator (sold separately).
- Convenient Storage: This stable adhesive can be stored at room temperature for up to two years, eliminating the need for refrigeration.
- User-Friendly Packaging: The "flip-top" vial allows for easy, one-handed dispensing.
