All-Bond Universal is a staple in many dental practices, a true workhorse bonding agent that provides compatibility, high bond strength, and 1-bottle convenience
Dr. Sheri Doniger never worries about her restorations fracturing or debonding, or getting calls in the middle of the night from patients experiencing significant postop sensitivity. She knows the restorations she places will stand the test of time, largely because she relies on BISCO’s All-Bond Universal for predictable bonding.
The universal adhesive has been her go-to for over a decade, and she’s never had any issues. One of its greatest advantages is its compatibility with products from other manufacturers. Dr. Doniger knows she can use All-Bond Universal with any composite in her regimen, and it will work beautifully. There’s never any cracking, marginal leakage, or other issues that can pop up when materials aren’t compatible.
“A lot of times, products from one manufacturer won't work well with other products that have different chemistries,” she said, “and that can lead to restoration failure and postop sensitivity.”
Truly Universal
Dr. Doniger uses All-Bond Universal for just about everything, she said, including composites, under porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, and for core buildups. She can use it with any etching technique for both indirect and direct restorations.
It has a low film thickness, high bond strength, and isn’t moisture sensitive. "If a small amount of water finds the surface," she said, "the bond will still work."
Just One Bottle
All-Bond Universal is a 1-bottle system that simplifies everything. It doesn’t require an activator like a 2-bottle system, so everything can be done in a single step. It also reduces the number of bottles that are left out during a procedure, Dr. Doniger said, improving infection control.
The easy-to-dispense system streamlines workflows, making it easier to train new team members, she added. It also reduces inventory.
“The delivery is easy. Assistants don’t have to worry about mixing A and B and what happens if they get the drops wrong,” Dr. Doniger explained. “We need consistency and reliability to ensure assistants are able to use it and remember how to use it correctly. All-Bond Universal offers that.”
Always Evolving
Dr. Doniger loves the commitment to science and research BISCO puts behind materials like All-Bond Universal. The team is constantly evolving and tweaking materials, she said, which ensures the company is “always on the cutting edge with its bonding agents.” The materials work well in her hands and provide predictable results, keeping her loyal to the brand and its research-backed restoratives.
“To use a product like All-Bond Universal, which comes in a single bottle and is compatible with everything, just makes life easier,” said Dr. Doniger. “And anything that makes life easier in the office helps promote that good work-life balance we’re all looking for.”
