Evaluators’ Comments

• “Good wettability and handling.”
• “Its viscosity and low film thickness allow for a fast, smooth, and even spread over the prepared surface.”
• “A great product for direct bonding of restorations.”
• “Well designed bottle eliminates waste. Excellent fast, and even spread over the surface. No issues with any post-operative sensitivity.”
• “This is the first bonding agent I’ve used in a long time that did not show me that white ‘shrinkage’ line.”
• “Would have preferred a more clear material.”

Description

K-Bond Universal is a universal bonding agent that combines the etch, primer, and adhesive resin in a single bottle. K-Bond Universal can be used on dentin and enamel for a variety of direct restorations.

Unique Attributes

• Compatible with total-etch, selective and self-etch system
• Suitable for direct and indirect bonding procedures
• Homogeneous liquid
• Initially begins as a hydrophilic material to flow into dentinal tubules then will become hydrophobic after light cure to ensure a reliable bond
• Dual-cure capability without separate activator (pH 3.5)
• Increased degree of conversion with 3 component initiation system
• Aliphatic amine, instead of aromatic amine, helps product stability and color stability
• Single drop system

Clinical Tips

• Use small amounts of material because of its viscosity
• Use one drop at a time; a little goes a long way
• Multiple layers are needed for best strength
• Important to air out after applying 
• Evaporates quickly in a dish, be careful

Indications

• All classes of filling and repair with composite
• Root surface desensitization
• Sealing of cavities prior to cementation of amalgam restorations
• Sealing of cavities and preparations of prepared teeth prior to temporary cementation of indirect restorations
• Intraoral repair of existing composite, PFM, and all ceramic restorations with primer
• Bonding of dual cure and chemical cure materials without activator
• Cementation of indirect restorations of composite
