Consultants’ Comments
- “Effective for root sensitivity.”
Description
DenTASTIC UNO is highly recommended for direct and indirect bonding of restorations. DenTASTIC UNO is a 5th-generation bonding agent based on a PMGDM (pyromellitic dianhydride glycerol dimethacrylate) adhesive primer with a hydrophilic resin in an acetone carrier. The adhesive bonds to tooth surfaces, composite, porcelain, and metal. The kit contains two, 6-ml bottles of adhesive, 5 ml of etchant and accessories. Eighteen consultants evaluated DenTASTIC UNO in 570 clinical uses. This product received an 88% clinical rating.
Product Features
The laminated instruction cards are complete with specific instructions for all applicable procedures. A card with basic rules and helpful hints for bonding is also included. DenTASTIC UNO dispenses readily from the bottle, and coats the tooth and restoration surfaces quickly and evenly. Two coats of the adhesive produced the desired glazed surface, and no bond failures were reported during the evaluation period. Seventy-two percent of consultants would recommend DenTASTIC UNO, and 61% would purchase it.
Clinical Tips
- Material has low viscosity like other acetone-based bonding agents – do not squeeze the bottle.
- Dispense material just before use to minimize quick evaporation of solvent.
