The easy solution for high marginal integrity and low nanoleakage.
Studies from two universities are shown to demonstrate the high marginal integrity and low nanoleakage of Single Bond Universal Adhesive.
Pictured first is a study performed on Class V restorations by Professor Dr. B. Haller, University of Ulm, measuring marginal integrity. The two charts on the right compare the percentage of continuous margins - before and after thermocycling - for Single Bond Universal and other adhesive systems. The percentage after thermocycling is very high for Single Bond Universal - 99.9% on enamel and 97.7% on dentin - indicating good marginal integrity.

Next, is a study by Professor Dr. Jorge Perdigao, University of Minnesota, comparing the human teeth nanoleakage of other self-etch adhesives. When bonding to dentin with Single Bond Universal, the etch and adhesive penetration occur simultaneously, and at the same depth, forming a hybrid layer. Nanoleakage, resulting from an insufficient penetration depth of the adhesive, is significantly impacted by this mechanism.

One coat means a faster application procedure.
20 Seconds. Apply adhesive to tooth surface by scrubbing action
5 Seconds. Dry the adhesive
10 Seconds. Light cure
Direct Placement Indications
- Bonding light-cured composite or compomer for all classes of direct restorations.
- Root surface desensitization.
- Sealing of dentin prior to amalgam restorations.
- Protective varnish for glass ionomer restorative materials.
- Repair of composite or compomer restorations.
- Bonding sealants.
Indirect Placement Indications
- Bonding veneers with RelyX™ Veneer Cement.
- Adhesive/primer for chemical adhesion when bonding zirconia, alumina, metal or glass ceramic restorations.
- Intraoral repair of existing indirect restorations.
- Bonding self- or dual-cure core build-up materials and resin cements (with Scotchbond™ Universal DCA Dual Cure Activator).
- Sealing of dentin prior to temporization for indirect restoration placement.
Light-curing Single Bond Universal is ideal for a wide range of indications:
- Bonding light cured composite - total etch on cut enamel.
- Bonding light cured composite - total etch on uncut enamel.
- Bonding light cured composite - self etch.
- Bonding light cured composite - selective etch.
- Root surface desensitization.
- Sealing of dentin prior to amalgam restorations.
- Protective varnish for GI restorations.
- Repair of composite restorations.
- Bonding pit and fissure sealants in both total etch and self etch mode.
- Bonding veneers with a conventional resin cement.
- Bonding high strength substrates like zirconia, alumina and metal.
- Bonding weak ceramics like glass ceramics.
- Intraoral repair of indirect restorations.
- Bonding self- or dual- cure material and resin cement with dual cure.
- Activator (example: single bond universal dual cure activator).
- Sealing dentinal tubules prior to temporization in self etch mode
