Precision + Strength = Confidence

Just like trust is a fundamental element in a romantic relationship, dentists become attached to their trusted bonding systems and are often hesitant to try something new. But, if you ask Dr. Brandon Tiek, dentists may want to consider breaking up with their current adhesive systems to form a new bond with Pac-Dent’s Rodin Bond Dental Adhesive System. 

A Strong, Versatile Bonding Solution

A versatile, light-cured bonding agent, Rodin Bond features cutting-edge glass filler technology that reinforces the hybrid zone and penetrates dentin tubules, providing exceptional bond strength. Rodin Bond provides reliable adhesion to a variety of dental materials, including dentin, enamel, and various metals, including zirconia and PFM. It can be used with light, self, and dual-cured composite materials on direct and indirect restorations for a comprehensive bonding solution. 

Two Steps to Success

When Rodin Bond is paired with Rodin SensiGuard, a 2-in-1 desensitizer and primer, the result is a solution that enhances bonding while safeguarding against postoperative sensitivity and reducing the risk of caries formation beneath the restoration.

Because of “the simplicity of the 2-step system,” Dr. Tiek decided to ditch his old ways in favor of the new Rodin Bond adhesive system. Using SensiGuard first, then applying Rodin Bond, he now has “a smoother workflow for bonding resin and ceramic crowns” that has increased his confidence in his restorations. “It allows me to confidently bond single-visit crowns by first desensitizing, then bonding along with resin cement," he said.

Using Rodin Bond and SensiGuard for direct restorations, Dr. Russ Jensen said, “I like that the products are supplied as a whole system with an etch, desensitizer, and bond. This complete system allows us to be more efficient and predictable with our direct restorations.” Praising the “predictable use” of the 2 products, Dr. Robert Kirchmann appreciates having “one simplified system that reduced steps clinically.”

One-Drop Precision

Rodin Bond and SensiGuard are available in economic, waste-reducing 5-mL bottles with a time-saving, flip-top cap design that dispenses one drop of adhesive at a time for precise placement. Both products are also available in convenient 0.1-mL unit doses. Dr. Jensen appreciates being able to control the one-drop dispensing of Rodin Bond and said, “The amount of bond dispensed from the bottle is consistent and predictable,” unlike other bonding agents he has used in the past. For Dr. Tiek, the convenient system “makes it much smoother and easy for my assistants to learn and set up." Dr. Kirchmann likes the simplicity of the product’s design, as well as the simple workflow.

Guard Against Sensitivity

When used with Rodin Bond, SensiGuard helps seal dentin tubules to prevent sensitivity and reduces the risk of caries formation beneath the restoration. With other bonding systems, Dr. Tiek reported occasional sensitivity after cementing same-day crowns, but when using Rodin Bond and SensiGuard, he noted, “I have had zero reports of postop sensitivity.” Dr. Kirchmann also discovered that he had “fewer reports of post-restorative tooth sensitivity issues” after using this system.

Predictable, Reliable Results

In addition to preventing postop sensitivity, the combination of Rodin Bond and SensiGuard enhances shear bond strength and adhesion on direct and indirect surfaces, potentially extending the lifespan of the restoration. “Overall, this is a good product that allows for predictable and efficient procedures,” Dr. Jensen said of the Rodin Bond adhesive system. Also praising its “predictable use,” Dr. Kirchmann said he is “very satisfied to have an alternate bonding adhesive for a wider assortment of products.” Pleased with the ease of use, precision, and strength of the Rodin Bond adhesive system, Dr. Tiek concluded, “It is an overall great product that I would recommend to anyone.”
