- 6th generation self-etch bonding system, which delivers high bonding values to both dentin and enamel.
- Consists of an acidic water based self-etch Primer and a light-cure Adhesive.
- It is used to bond composite resin filling materials, to tooth structure, any self-cure or light-cure composite, compomer restorative materials and composite resin cements available on the market.
- Utilizing a moderately acidic Primer. Unlike total-etch, total-bond techniques, the self-etch Primer does not open the dentinal tubules completely. The smear layer is solubilized, and due to the high hydrophilic properties of the Primer, it is then able to penetrate to the tubules and peritubular dentin, forming resin tags. In the case of enamel, the Primer produces a significant pattern with enhanced surface area, leading to improved enamel bonding.
- Marketed since 2008 with no changes in formula. No complaints of any health-related or chemical performance issues were received.
