Fast & Simple Universal Adhesive ‘Does It All’

If your wish list includes a universal adhesive that offers a lower viscosity—the better to evenly apply no matter the cavity morphology—yet also provides a strong bonding layer in all etching modes with a quick, single-bottle application and zero waiting time, look no further than the armamentarium of Charles Kattuah, DDS, who recently began using CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2.

Having already made the original CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick a go-to in his restorative workflow for several years, Dr. Kattuah was intrigued with the latest formulation, and decided to give it a test run in his Marysville, CA, practice.

“I had been using CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick ever since it was first introduced," he said. "I used it for all my bonding procedures because I wanted a truly universal adhesive for all materials, and I stopped using all my other adhesive systems. Right away, it increased my workflow efficiency!”

Ditch the Wait

CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 takes the capabilities of the original formulation and boosts performance even further. It offers a simplified universal restorative system without separate activators, no waiting time, a stronger, uniform bonding layer, and easier application without pooling in margins and abutments thanks to its lower viscosity. The adhesive offers room temperature storage and usage, and it's compatible with other manufacturers’ cements.

A Strong Bonding Layer in 1 Step

The next-generation adhesive also features Kuraray Noritake Dental's Advanced Rapid Bond Technology, which blends 3 unique monomers: the multifunctional urethane tetramethacrylate monomer, which increases the strength of the bond layer; the company's synthesized and independently refined MDP monomer; and an amide monomer, which allows the adhesive to be initially highly hydrophilic and then become hydrophobic and water-resistant following polymerization.

“I decided to try out CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 because it just blew my mind that you can apply it to dentin and cut enamel, air-dry immediately, cure, and restore,” Dr. Kattuah shared. “I am pleased with its performance and have not had any issues,” he continued. “CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 can do it all as far as adhesives go.”
