Zipbond

Defence against clinical variability

Zipbond Universal is a single component fluoride releasing universal adhesive, compatible with self etch, selective etch and total etch techniques. In the presence of varied tooth structure and an abundance of restorative choices, Zipbond Universal achieves reproducible and reliable bond strengths.

Consistent Bond Strengths

Zipbond Universal achieves successful bond strengths across dentine and enamel using self etch and total etch techniques. Total etch is considered the best option for enamel only preparations². Zipbond Universal has minimal fluctuation in bond strength using the total etch technique on enamel, demonstrating the ability to achieve predictable results in each use.
The heterogenous nature of dentine and variability in mineral and water content adds complexity to dentine bonding¹. The carefully selected chemistry of Zipbond Universal overcomes the challenges associated with dentine bonding to provide strong and reproducible bond strengths in self etch and total tech techniques.
Select Zipbond Universal for consistent adhesion, predictable clinical outcomes and confidence in the interface between your patients tooth and restoration.

Wet and dry dentine bonding

Variation in surface moisture of dentine can affect bond strength². Zipbond Universal achieves similar bond strengths when applied to wet and dry dentine, reducing technique sensitivity.
Even in situations where dentine has been over-dried, Zipbond Universal will still form a hybrid layer, further mitigating technique sensitivity.
