ADHESIVES

Ideal for Bulk-Fill Composites: Avoiding Gap Formation

CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2 has excellent initial bond strengths to dentin (with the original MDP adhesive monomer) and the ideal adhesive layer to withstand the increased polymerization stress with bulk-fill composites. This ideal combination is able to provide GAP-FREE dentin margins when bulk-fill composites are used¹.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides real time cross-sectional images that can be used for quantitative and qualitative assessment of the composite restorations, thereby identifying gaps at the adhesive interface (visualized as a white line).

Outstanding Long-Term Clinical Benefits and Research Results

CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2 is the successor of CLEARFIL™ SE BOND, which has an exceptional long-term clinical research history with cervical erosion and class-V restorations. The graph on the right shows the results of a clinical study ranging from 3-year to 13-year recalls with retention rates of 96% to 100%².

Apart from the excellent long-term marginal sealing, it also inherits from CLEARFIL™ SE BOND excellent characteristics such as: virtually no post-operative sensitivity and low technique sensitivity.

CLEARFIL™ SE BOND

Non-Etch

Selective Enamel Etch

New Catalyst Chemistry: Even Stronger Bond Strengths

The new photo-initiators generate more radicals when curing which relates to higher monomer conversion rates resulting in 21% higher dentin bond strength³ compared to gold standard CLEARFIL™ SE BOND.

Mix it with CLEARFIL™ DC Activator:
For All Clinical Indications and Lower Film Thickness

CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2 is indicated for direct restorations, intraoral repairs, treatment of exposed root surfaces and hypersensitive teeth.

When CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2 Bond is mixed with CLEARFIL™ DC Activator, it provides a dual-cure chemistry, ideal for bonding indirect and core build-up restorations.

Basic Procedures

Direct Restoration

Follow the standard procedure for isolation, moisture control, cavity preparation and pulp protection.

• 1

  Apply PRIMER¹

  

  ¹ Before applying PRIMER, selective enamel etch by phosphoric acid is an option.

• 2

  Dry with mild air

  

• 3

  Apply BOND

  

• 4

  Make a uniform bond film using a gentle airflow

  

• 5

  Light-cure²

  

  ² Refer to the table for light-curing time in the Instructions for Use.

• 6

  Place composite resin

  

Indirect Restoration

Cementating inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and veneers using a composite resin cement.
Clean and dry the tooth surface, then trial fit the prosthetic restoration.

1

Apply PRIMER¹

For surface preparation of prosthetic restorations, follow the Instructions for Use of the restorative material.
