AWARD WINNING PRODUCT

For the 10th time, the self-etch adhesive CLEARFIL™ SE Protect has been named a Top Product by DENTAL ADVISOR, which announced its choices for dental materials and equipment found by its evaluators to deliver the best practice-based performance in its JAN/FEB 2024 issue.

The publication included CLEARFIL™ SE Protect among honorees in the Bonding Agent Self-Etch category, noting attributes that go far beyond providing a reliable bond.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

This outstanding toolbox staple is built on the same system of the gold-standard adhesive CLEARFIL™ SE BOND, so it offers excellent bond strength for enamel and dentin. Its MMP inhibiting effect protects the bond from degradation over time and hence supports bond durability. Beyond that reliable bond, it provides an antibacterial cavity-cleansing effect that eliminates the need for the use of a separate cavity cleanser, thanks to the proprietary MDPB monomer it contains.

In short, CLEARFIL™ SE Protect offers you following benefits:

• Fast and simple procedure with low technique sensitivity
• Excellent bond strength for enamel and dentin
• Long-lasting bond strength
• Antibacterial cavity-cleansing effect
• Virtually no post-operative sensitivity

It is also a highly versatile adhesive system that can be used in the context of:

• Placing direct restorations
• As a cavity sealant
• For the treatment of hypersensitive or exposed root surfaces

Among the extended indications are cementation with composite resin cement or core build-up with self- or dual-cured resin materials in combination with CLEARFIL™ DC Activator.

EVALUATION

Its attributes are reflected in the study findings and comments of DENTAL ADVISOR’s editors and consultants, who assessed it over a six-week period during which over 150 restorations were placed. It received a 98% clinical rating by consultants using a 1-5 rating scale.

The practitioners evaluating the product found no post-operative sensitivity. Among their observations mentioned in the online DA report were the fact that the primer and bond wet the tooth evenly. They also considered the antibacterial and fluoride releasing qualities “an added benefit”. On the topic of sensitivity, they mentioned that “CLEARFIL SE Protect is effective in the reduction of sensitivity when placed on areas of recession or similar areas of sensitive tooth structure.”.
