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)
• Perfect chemical balance for both total- and self-etch adhesion from one bottle
• Compatible with ALL 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).

Select HV® Etch w/BAC

35% Phosphoric Acid Etchant with Benzalkonium Chloride
Select HV Etch is a superior 35% high viscosity phosphoric etch available with Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC). Select HV Etch is used to condition the tooth structure before bonding adhesives, composites, or sealants. Select HV Etch is specially formulated for maximum working and handling, pin-point placement performance, and eliminating run-on onto the dentin surface.

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.

Unique Benefits:

• Rinses away cleanly and quickly leaving no residue to interfere with bonding
• Blue in color for easy visualization and contrast
• Microretentive surface characteristics that are necessary for successful bonding

Clinical Significance:

• Contains benzalkonium chloride (BAC), an antimicrobial agent. In-vitro research shows it is effective against Streptococcus mutans^1,2.
