Prime & Bond Active Adhesive by Dentsply Sirona

Prime & Bond Active adhesive by Dentsply Sirona is a combined total-etch, self-etch, and selective-etch adhesive. It offers a simple adhesive technique for direct and indirect restorations. It bonds to enamel, dentin, composites, zirconia, and metals.

It incorporates the new Active-Guard technology, providing perfectly balanced hydrophilic and hydrophobic conditions. This ensures total coverage and penetration in the presence of different moisture levels. Even with over-wet or desiccated dentin, it achieves reliable adhesion, actively preventing common adhesion failures.

The inherent surface tension of other adhesives can prevent easy dispersion on the cavity surface, potentially leaving some areas weakened. However, Prime & Bond Active is formulated to spread actively, minimizing the risk of leaving dry areas.

In addition, Prime & Bond Active self-regulates to create a thin and uniform layer. Adhesives forming a thick layer tend to pool in the corners, leading to bubbles, fissures, or cavities in X-rays, which might necessitate repeating the process. Changes in the carving geometry could also result in misfits in crowns.

Other advantages of Prime & Bond Active:

Versatility for use with all etching techniques and in all indications.

Virtually no cases of postoperative sensitivity.

Relaxed working time and waste reduction, remaining useful for up to 3 minutes in a closed CliXdish.

High initial bonding strength with Calibra Ceram cement for indirect restorations.

Patented formula free of HEMA, TEGDMA, and Bisphenol.

Flip-top cap for one-handed opening.

Precise dispensing for less waste.

Low viscosity for easy application.

Up to 30 minutes of working time when kept in a closed CliXdish, reducing waste when treating multiple cavities.

The Prime & Bond Active Intro Kit by Dentsply Sirona is also available, including 1 bottle of 4ml, 1 CliXdish, and 50 IFU+ITG applicator tips.
