All-Bond Universal®

Light-Cured Dental Adhesive
All-Bond Universal is the culmination of over 30 years of adhesive research at BISCO. As a universal adhesive it can be used with direct and indirect restorations and is formulated to be compatible with light-, dual- and self-cured materials. The versatility of All-Bond Universal makes it an indispensable part of any dental practice.

Unique Benefits:

• Not moisture sensitive use on wet, dry or moist tooth structure
• Impressive bond strength to ALL substrates
• Use with ALL direct and indirect restorations (<10 micron thickness)
• Ideal chemical balance for both total- and self-etch adhesion from one bottle
• Compatible with ALL resin cements (no additional activator required)
• Virtually no post-operative sensitivity

Clinical Significance:

• All-Bond Universal offers the flexibility for total-, self- and selective-etch procedures
• All-Bond Universal is compatible with all light-, self- and dual-cured resin composite and cement materials for all direct and indirect procedures
• Other single bottle adhesives may need more than 1 bottle for indirect restorations, but with All-Bond Universal, NO activator is required.

Porcelain Primer/Bis-Silane™

BISCO’s porcelain primers are silane coupling agents used to improve bonding between porcelain restorations and resin cements. It also protects porcelain restorations from contamination, increases mechanical and chemical bonding of resin to the porcelain, and yields greater resistance to water leakage at the bonding interface.

• Porcelain Primer
  A single component pre-hydrolyzed no-mix silane primer
• Bis-Silane™
  A two-part silane coupling agent offering additional shelf-life stability to ensure long lasting effective bonding to porcelain

Porcelain Etchant

Buffered Hydrofluoric Acid Gel
BISCO’s PORCELAIN ETCHANT improves the adhesive bond between porcelain and cement by increasing the surface area of the porcelain to be bonded. The effect is similar to sandblasting but is more controlled and effective. PORCELAIN ETCHANT will microscopically roughen the feldspathic porcelain or glass surface.

BISCO’s PORCELAIN ETCHANT is available in 2 concentrations: 4% or 9.5% (Hydrofluoric Acid Gel).

Uni-Etch® w/BAC

32% Phosphoric Acid Etchant with Benzalkonium Chloride
Uni-Etch w/BAC is a 32% phosphoric acid semi-gel etchant that is effective at quickly etching enamel and dentin. Uni-Etch w/BAC is polymer-thickened and effectively removes the smear layer, etches and demineralizes enamel and dentin. It is easily manipulated into small areas such as endodontically treated root canals and undercuts. This makes it more versatile than some thicker gel etchants for etching all restorative surfaces. Published research proves that BISCO etchants produce higher bond strengths to (wet or dry) dentin¹ and enamel.

• Rinses away cleanly and quickly leaving no residue to interfere with bonding
• Blue in color for easy visualization and contrast
• Creates microretentive surface characteristics that are necessary for successful bonding.
• New bulk syringe delivery system available
• Contains benzalkonium chloride (BAC), an antimicrobial agent. In-vitro research shows it is effective against Actinomyces viscosus².

NOTE: Inclusion of BAC has not been shown to correlate with a reduction in secondary decay in patients. In-vivo clinical studies to evaluate the effects of BAC on oral bacteria or caries have not been performed.

Porcelain Bonding Resin

Porcelain Bonding Resin is a HEMA-Free, hydrophobic bonding resin designed specifically for bonding to porcelain. Placed in a thin layer on the silane-treated intaglio surface of the restoration, Porcelain Bonding Resin will act as a wetting resin allowing the cement to spread in a more uniform layer.

All-Bond 3®

Universal Dental Adhesive System

All-Bond 3 micro-mechanically bonds to all substrates, is used for all bonding procedures and is compatible with light-, dual- and self-cured materials.  The All-Bond 3 system offers increased hydrophobicity for a long-lasting adhesive bond*.  The HEMA-free, radiopaque All-Bond 3 Resin reduces the chance of misdiagnosing caries.

Unique Benefits

• Compatible with light-, self- and dual-cured materials (without the use of additional activators)

• Only 1-2 coats of Part A & B are required, ensuring a more uniform and ideal film thickness while saving application time

Clinical Significance

• All-Bond 3 Resin is radiopaque allowing visibility on radiographs in areas where adhesives commonly pool, reducing the risk of misdiagnosing caries
