Bond-1® 5th Generation Bonding System
Q. For Dentin/Enamel bonding, which strength of acid should I use?
A. You can use either 10% or 37% phosphoric acid to etch both dentin and enamel. The
Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive System was designed to give you the maximum flexibility in
your etching procedure. Therefore, if you prefer a less concentrated solution choose the
10% acid. As long as the contact time is appropriate, your etching technique will not
affect bond strength.
Q. Is Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive compatible with all brands of composite?
A. Yes.
Q. Should I leave the dentin moist after it has been etched?
A. Yes. Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive is hydrophilic and works best on moist dentin.
Q. What is the film thickness of Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive once it is light-cured?
A. Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive results in a film thickness of 8 microns when cured.
Q. What are the bond strengths of Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive to dentin and enamel?
A. The bond strength to dentin is 31 MPa, and to enamel is 27 MPa.
Q. How should I store Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive?
A. For maximum shelf life, store Bond-1 Primer/Adhesive in the refrigerator.
