Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa No.1, 2017

Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 1/2017 6 INDUSTRY New universal adhesive with active moisture control ByDentsplySirona Dentsply Sirona is proud to intro- duce Prime&Bond universal™ uni- versal adhesive. Designed for all etching methods and indications, Prime&Bond universal features pat- entedActive-Guard™Technology–a significantadvancementinadhesive chemistry that actively controls moisture on the prepared surface. Even if dentin is overly wet or dry, Prime&Bond universal is simple to use and provides consistent results forastrong,reliablebond. Most dental adhesives are rather hydrophobic: they separate from water. With too much water on the prepared surface, these rather hy- drophobic adhesives fail to cover the prepared surface uniformly. During air-drying,adhesivegapscanformas embedded pockets of water evapo- rate, increasing the risks of post-op- erativesensitivityandbondfailure. Active-GuardTechnologywithactive moisture control is exclusively de- signedtoprotectagainsttheserisks. The patented Active-Guard Tech- nology balances hydrophobic and hydrophilic features and helps to achieve an optimized surface ten- sion. Thus, Prime&Bond universal can overcome the surface tension of water, allowing the adhesive to spread evenly across the dentin and into the dentinal tubules to form a uniform, homogeneous layer. When the adhesive is air-dried, solvent and excess water evaporate uniformly to leaveathin,consistentcoatingofad- hesive across the entire surface. The result is a strong, reliable bond, with virtually no post-operative sensitiv- ity. In addition to active moisture con- trol,Prime&Bonduniversalprovides several benefits over competing uni- versaladhesives,including: • Active spreading across the pre- paredsurfacetominimizetheriskof dry spots that can lead to post-oper- ativesensitivityandmicro-leakage. • Low film thickness, minimizing therisksofchangingthepreparation geometry and compromising crown fit, or leaving adhesive pools that may show up on radiographs and can be misdiagnosed a voids, gaps or secondarydecay. • No need to apply an activator when used with Calibra® Ceram ce- ment. • Convenience and control, with one-handed opening of Flip Top Cap bottle, precise dispensing and up to 30 minutes of working time in a closedCliXdish™. • Innovative formulation without anyHEMA,TGDMAandBisphenol FKG Dentaire SA www.fkg.ch TotalFill® BC Obturation Kit™ - BC Sealer™ : premixed filling cement for 3D obturation - BC Points™ TotalFill® BC RRM™ Paste - Premixed injectable paste for root repair needs TotalFill® BC RRM™ Fast Set Putty - Premixed malleable putty for root repair needs - Shortened set time (20 min) TotalFill® , Premixed Bioceramic Materials FKG, Swiss Pavillion Hall 8 Booth 8E17-8F10 Hall 4 Booth 4F06 Partnerglassceramicscannowalsobeprocessedin theCERECSpeedFirewithIPSe.max CAD(IvoclarVivadent)andSuprinityPC(VITAZahnfabrik).
