CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick

DENTAL ADVISOR Editor’s Choice and 2023 Preferred Product award recipient, quickly provides durable bond in a single procedure

CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick has been named a 2023 Editor’s Choice by DENTAL ADVISOR, which evaluates dental products and equipment and publishes its findings annually. It has also received recognition as DENTAL ADVISOR’s Preferred Product this year in the category of Universal Bonding Agents. The 31 consultants who evaluated its application during 1,065 usages gave it the excellent overall rating of 98%.

CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick is a single-bottle fluoride-releasing, universal adhesive with MDP monomer and amide monomer chemistry called rapid bond technology. This combination of the MDP monomer, which creates a strong chemical bond to hydroxyapatite, and newly developed hydrophilic amide monomer, which is highly hydrophilic, is responsible for fast chemical bonding and quick penetration into dental tissue. Because the amide monomer rapidly permeates dentin and enamel, it eliminates the need for long rubbing application of the adhesive into the dentin and reduces the wait time after application. After curing, the innovative amide monomer forms a moisture-resistant cross-linked polymer network.

As a result, the bonding is moisture-resistant and stable, with durable results. This method, which reduces application time without compromising bond strengths, sealing, or desensitizing, also reduces technique sensitivity.

A fast and versatile agent that bonds directly to dentin, enamel, metals, zirconia and lithium disilicate restorative materials, CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick is suitable for bonding direct and indirect restoration and can be used for total-etch, selective-etch, or self-etch methods. When mixed with CLEARFIL™ DC Activator, CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick becomes dual-cure and has universal use with both self- and dual-cured resin cements and core build-up resins. 

The practitioners evaluating the product commented on its ease in dispensing and placement, viscosity, suitability for all bonding procedures, and convenience. Among their remarks were: “Perfect viscosity. Ease of use and speed were great.” and “Great for replacement of silane to prime crowns for cementation with resin cement - will self-cure with the dual-cured resin.”

Honors such as Editor’s Choice that are conferred by US-based DENTAL ADVISOR were introduced to help busy practitioners make sense of the numerous new solutions indicated for less invasive techniques, standardized or simplified procedures, and better outcomes on a regular basis. DENTAL ADVISOR conducts its practice-based clinical evaluations and product performance tests shortly after product launch, and publishes results annually online to help potential users identify high-quality new dental materials and determine which among them are best suited to fulfill their individual requirements.
