CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2

In modern dentistry, efficiency and reliability are key elements for many practices. CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 offers a low effort, high-performance bonding solution providing exceptional results. With its Advanced Rapid Bond Technology, this adhesive allows for quick and easy application, eliminating unnecessary steps and reducing technical sensitivity.

WHAT IS CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2?

CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 is an advanced dental adhesive designed to streamline restorative procedures. Compatible with etching techniques of your choice, it provides strong adhesion to enamel and dentin, ensuring a strong and uniform bond layer. Its versatility makes it suitable for both direct and indirect restorations, as well as core build-ups and intraoral repairs.

WHERE CAN THIS BONDING SOLUTION BE USED?

CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 is ideal for any dental practice seeking a reliable and easy-to-use adhesive. Whether performing routine direct restorations or several indirect procedures, this adhesive delivers consistent performance and a simplified workflow.

WHAT ARE THE INDICATIONS OF CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2?

This bonding agent is designed for a variety of clinical applications:

• Direct restorations using light-cured composite resin
• Sealing of a prepared cavity or abutment tooth as a pretreatment for indirect restorations
• Treatment of exposed root surfaces
• Treatment of hypersensitive teeth
• Intraoral repairs of fractured restorations
• Post cementation and core build-ups
• Cementation of indirect restorations

WHY DOES CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 WORK SO WELL?

The key to its exceptional performance lies in its proprietary Advanced Rapid Bond Technology, which consists of three high performance ingredients:

• Original MDP Monomer: Invented by KURARAY CO., LTD., this monomer provides unmatched bonding strength to hydroxyapatite and a wide range of materials, including zirconium oxide. It provides for an excellent bond that remains stable over time.
• Amide Monomer: A highly hydrophilic monomer that allows for rapid penetration into the tooth structure, eliminating the need for waiting after application. During polymerisation, it forms a stable, hydrophobic cross-linked network for a strong and durable bond.
• Urethane Tetra Methacrylate (UTMA) Monomer: This multifunctional monomer enhances the strength of the bonding layer itself, increasing resistance to shrinkage forces while maintaining a thin and uniform adhesive layer.

Together, these monomers form the foundation of CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2, providing a fast, dependable, and versatile adhesive for all your restorative needs.

WHY CHOOSE CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2?

CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 enhances efficiency without sacrificing quality. Its Advanced Rapid Bond Technology integrates MDP, Amide, and Urethane Tetra Methacrylate (UTMA) monomers to create a strong, uniform bond layer. This allows for even spreading and superior bond strength to both enamel and dentin. The low-viscosity formula forms a thin, even film, reducing risk of pooling and enhancing predictability.

Additional benefits include:

• Quick and straightforward application
• Consistently durable bond strength
• Versatility across different restorative techniques
• Minimized risk of pooling and contamination
• Compatibility with self-adhesive resin cements
• Convenient room temperature storage

HOW DO YOU APPLY CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2?

Application is simple and efficient, accommodating various clinical scenarios. The adhesive can be used in:

• Self-etch mode for a more modern, fast and effective approach
• Selective-etch mode for additional enamel bond strength
• Total-etch mode for a conventional approach

It is available in both bottle and unit-dose options, catering to different practice needs and ensuring easy, on-demand use.

THE ULTIMATE BONDING SOLUTION: CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2

As the latest innovation in dental bonding, CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 delivers efficiency, reliability, and versatility.

KURARAY NORITAKE DENTAL INC.'S AWARD-WINNING SOLUTIONS IN 2025

In our dynamic dental landscape, the demand for cutting-edge materials and devices that enhance clinical outcomes, simplify workflows and address individual patient needs continues to rise. Dental professionals never stop looking for such products that support them and their teams in achieving exceptional treatment outcomes safely and efficiently. In a short-lived world with new products being introduced frequently, however, it can be challenging to identify and choose the right solutions. Independent evaluations that assess practical application on one hand and laboratory as well as clinical performance on the other are among the most trusted sources of information.

Each year, the Dental Advisor, a respected authority in dental product testing, recognizes those dental products that consistently perform at the highest levels. In its Top & Preferred Product as well as Research Awards published in the January/February 2025 issue of the Dental Advisor, several products from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. earned well-deserved recognition. Among this year’s winners are a new flowable composite as well as tried-and-tested favourites that continue to shape the field of restorative and adhesive dentistry.

RESEARCH AWARD WINNERS

According to Dental Advisor (www.dentaladvisor.com), “Companies that receive Research Awards demonstrate a commitment to advancing dental technology and enhancing patient care.” Features and physical properties are tested in the Dental Advisor Biomaterials Research Center to evaluate the scientific performance of the materials and recognize those products with the most promising blend of characteristics.

CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal

This brand-new flowable composite with a simplified shade concept has just earned the prestigious Research Award from the Dental Advisor. While the material is available in two flowabilities (Low and Super Low) in Europe, Low is the variant offered in the United States and tested in the Dental Advisor Biomaterials Research Center. According to the test results, the material stands out mainly due to its high mechanical properties and exceptional shade matching abilities.

And although only two shades are offered, laboratory testing confirms that the material matches a broad range of natural tooth shades. This brings both simplicity and efficiency to restorative procedures without compromising on aesthetics and durability.

PANAVIA Veneer LC (RESEARCH AWARD AND PREFERRED PRODUCT)

PANAVIA Veneer LC has been revered for its exceptional bond strength and aesthetic outcomes in veneer applications. Testing confirmed that – when the components recommended in the United States (PANAVIA Veneer LC Paste, CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick and CLEARFIL™ Ceramic Primer Plus) are used – bond strength is high after artificial ageing. This applies to various substrates including enamel, dentin, silica-based ceramics (lithium disilicate) and zirconia. The system also showed the best gloss retention and wear properties compared to two other leading veneer cements tested.

TOP PRODUCT AWARD WINNERS

Every year, the Top Product Award is awarded to materials and devices in different dental categories. The winners are selected based on clinical evaluations and laboratory test results.

With improving mechanical properties and evolving (injection-based) techniques, the use of flowable composites is becoming increasingly popular as a permanent solution in the aesthetic zone. Consequently, the originally challenging task of shade matching becomes relevant with this material class as well. That is why Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. introduces CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal – a flowable composite with an intuitive shade-matching concept.

Available in two flowabilities and two beautifully complementary shades, universal (U) and universal dark (UD), CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal turns shade matching into an effortless endeavour. Shade U is suitable for almost all posterior and anterior cavities and shades. UD (Universal dark) shows best results in cavities of shade B3 and beyond that are lacking a back wall, such as Class IV cavities. Hence, U or UD are intuitively selected – no shade guide needed. This is feasible due to a smart combination of an enamel-like translucency, dentin-like chroma and unique Light-Diffusion Technology (LDT). The placement procedure is simplified by the clever syringe design that reduces the risk of formation of air bubbles, extruding the composite without dripping, while the low stickiness facilitates handling and sculpting with the syringe tip. Once cured, the material seamlessly blends with the surrounding tooth structure. In this way, minimal effort is involved in the creation of beautiful restorations.

With a flexural strength over 150 MPa, a compressive strength over 370 MPa and high filler loading of 75, resp. 78 wt/%), CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal rivals with its mechanical properties those of conventional paste-type composites. Thanks to this, the material is suitable for use even for stress-bearing areas like occlusal surfaces. This opens the door to a wide range of applications, including restorations of all cavity classes, direct veneering, simplified restoration of multiple teeth with the flowable injection technique, and intraoral repairs. In addition, the mechanical properties provide for an easy, time-saving polishing procedure and long-lasting gloss. So well equipped, the material positions itself as a high-performance permanent restoration solution offering both aesthetic excellence and structural reliability.

For those users who would like to maximise their clinical efficiency without compromising on treatment quality, the combination with other high-quality materials of Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.’s universal portfolio – e.g. with CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 – is highly recommended. Consisting of fewer components and requiring fewer steps, these products reduce the procedural complexity and smooth the way for great outcomes. More information about CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal and the whole universal portfolio is available online.
