A Decade Later, ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL Is Still Going Strong
This truly universal primer, etch, and adhesive takes the stress out of bonding while ensuring a strong bond that will stand the test of time
In launching its flagship ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL back in 2012, BISCO became one of the first manufacturers to bring the universal adhesive concept to
life. A decade later, this versatile primer, etch, and adhesive has stood the test of time thanks to its compatibility with both direct and indirect restorations, as well as its ability to play nicely with all light-, dual-, and self-cured materials.
“It’s my bonding go-to,” said Dr.Abraham Jaskiel, who has used ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL for years in his Miami, FL, practice with virtually no complaints of postop sensitivity. “I use it for 100% of all fillings, as well as for crowns. It’s something I can rely on for multiple procedures—for example, I can use it under a crown just as quickly as I can use it under a filling, and it still has good bond strength.”
Reliability without Sensitivity
Being able to rely on ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL’s strength without the need for a separate primer, etch, or bonding agent is a major positive in Dr. Jaskiel’s eyes because it leads to faster procedure times and more reliable restorative outcomes. However, a key feature that has anchored Dr. Jaskiel to the adhesive after all these years is a lack of postop sensitivity. “I think ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL impacts the overall effectiveness of my restorations because it creates such a strong bond,” said Dr. Jaskiel. “But the most important thing is that patients are not complaining about sensitivity after getting fillings.” ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL is useful in many clinical scenarios that clinicians face day in and day out, including when treating severely decayed teeth. Dr. Jaskiel joked that he often uses the adhesive when he has to build up a tooth like he’s “resurrecting it from the dead.”
A Bond with No Limits
Repeat business isn’t always a positive thing in dentistry—especially when it’s because of a failed filling or crown. So, one of the most important factors when considering any adhesive solution is how well the bond will hold up over time. For Dr. Jaskiel, ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL gives him confidence that the bond will withstand the pressures of being underneath a crown while ensuring his composite restorations remain intact. “There are no limitations with ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL,” added Dr. Jaskiel. “It bonds, there’s less sensitivity, and you can use it with other products.”
3 KEY REASONS TO RELY ON ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL:
- 1. Reduced Sensitivity—Because ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL immediately permeates and seals tubules, Dr. Jaskiel experienced a significant decrease in patients complaining of sensitivity after switching to the adhesive.
- 2. Versatility—Compatible with all direct and indirect restorations, ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL is a primer, etch, and adhesive in a single bottle that is compatible with all light-, self-, and dual-cure resin composite and cement materials. It can be used on wet, dry, or moist tooth structure.
- 3. Strong Bond—Dr. Jaskiel relies on ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL’s strength to stand up to daily wear and pressure on crowns. “Sometimes, there’s nothing left of the tooth structure and I know that I’m really relying on the bond quite a bit,” he said. “For these types of cases in particular, I need to be confident that my adhesive has the bond strength to stand up to that.”
