TOKYO, Japan: In evaluating the properties of a universal dental adhesive, many clinicians will consider its compatibility with various etching techniques and with a wide range of indications. After all, universal adhesives are typically used as bonding agents for direct restorations made of light-polymerising composite, for immediate dentinal sealing, for repair procedures and for indirect restorations. However, “universal” should also indicate compatibility with any resin composite and self-adhesive resin cement, regardless of the manufacturer.
Freedom and flexibility: Breaking free from system boundaries
Kuraray Noritake Dental understands the demands of modern dental practices. Balancing complex procedures, tight schedules and patient needs is no easy task. That is why we have been striving for decades to streamline, enhance and refine every step of daily clinical practice.
For a long time, restricting material selection to a single manufacturer’s system has been a key prerequisite for the successful use of dual-polymerising core build-up materials and self-adhesive resin cements. Manufacturers worldwide have strongly recommended combining components from the same system to ensure chemical compatibility and optimal material interaction and thus the best possible outcomes.
The new CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 changes this. The research and development team at Kuraray Noritake Dental in Japan has developed an adhesive that works well not only with our PANAVIA SA Cement Universal self-adhesive resin cement but also with other manufacturers’ products. The same applies to core build-up materials. Compatibility is no longer limited to CLEARFIL DC CORE PLUS, but extends to solutions offered by other companies.
One adhesive for every challenge
These qualities make CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 a truly universal adhesive that can serve as the sole bonding agent in clinical practice. Our vision of dental practice is one in which materials and tools work together seamlessly, where complexity is minimised and where clinicians are given enough time to focus on what matters most: the individual desires and needs of every single patient.
Clinicians are invited to explore Kuraray Noritake Dental’s comprehensive Universal Excellence portfolio, which encompasses bonding agents, composites and resin cement, on the manufacturer’s website.
