Tetric N-Bond 6gm - Ivoclar

Tetric N-Bond is a light-curing, nano-filled single-component adhesive which is used in conjunction with the technique. Best partner for Tetric N-Bond is the phosphoric acid gel N-Etch. Tetric N-Bond is used in the placement of direct composite and compomer restorations as well as in the adhesive luting of indirect restorations made of all-ceramic and composite materials involving light-curing.

Indications:

• Adhesive for direct, light-curing and dual-curing composite and compomer restorations
• Adhesive for indirect all-ceramic and composite restorations (inlays,onlays, veneers)

Features:

• Consistently high bond strength on enamel and dentin for clinical success
• Nano-fillers ensure a visible glossy coat which indicates complete coverage
• Formation of a homogeneous layer for improved adhesion to the tooth structure
• Reduced postoperative sensitivity
• Acetone-free chemistry – the solvent ethanol provides for easy application in one layer

Key Specification:

Composition: Tetric N-Bond contains phosphoric acid acrylate, HEMA, Bis-GMA, urethane dimethacrylate, ethanol, film-forming agent, initiators and stabilizers.

Storage Temperature: 2-28 °C (36-82 °F)

Directions of Use:

• Step 1: Dispense the desired amount of Tetric N-Bond into a mixing well and apply it using a disposable applicator (e.g. Vivadent Applicator Brush).

• Step 2: Protect the adhesive from light (e.g. VivaPad). Close the bottle immediately after each use.

• Step 3: A new disposable applicator must be used for each application.

• Step 4: Apply a thick layer of Tetric N-Bond on the enamel and dentin surfaces,using the enclosed application brush.

• Step 5: Brush the material gently into the dentin for at least 10 seconds.

• Step 6: Avoid insufficient coverage of the cavity and apply additional material, if required.

• Step 7: Remove excess material and the solvent by a gentle stream of air so that the adhesive completely covers the enamel and dentin without pooling.

• Step 8: Light-cure Tetric N-Bond according to the curing time recommendations below.
