Tetric® N-Bond Universal

The tolerant adhesive

Universal adhesion with advanced delivery

Tetric N-Bond Universal is a single-component, light-cured adhesive for direct and indirect bonding procedures and all etching protocols. It is the only universal bonding agent available in the efficient VivaPen delivery form.

Users of Tetric N-Bond Universal are delighted by the new, innovative and user-friendly VivaPen delivery form, which provides up to four times more applications per ml compared with conventional bottles. Tetric N-Bond Universal offers reliably high adhesion values and the included desensitising effect ensures minimal risk of postoperative sensitivities

Convince yourself of the benefits of the user-friendly VivaPen. Its pen-like design and bendable tip allow you to apply the adhesive quickly and effectively directly in the patient's mouth. It does not have to be predispensed into a mixing well

Greater confidence

• Simple application protocol: fast and controlled application directly in the patient's mouth
• Precise dispensing due to the improved "click" mechanism
• Reliable high bond strength (> 25 MPa) on enamel and dentin irrespective of the etching protocol used or the moisture conditions on the tooth surface
• Minimised risk of postoperative sensitivity under dry and wet conditions

Uncompromising quality

• Predictable high bond strength (> 25 MPa) on enamel and dentin
• Integrated desensitizing effect that minimizes the risk of postoperative sensitivity

Outstanding esthetics

• Since Tetric N-Bond Universal can be applied very thinly, you have all the freedom you need to create esthetically demanding restorations
• Low film thickness (approx. 10 μm) after light-curing ensures a precise fit when cementing indirect restorations

Efficiency down the line

• Efficient dispensing with the VivaPen: up to four times more applications per ml compared with conventional bottles
• 187 single-tooth applications with 1 VivaPen
• Quick and reliable light-curing in just 5 seconds (with a light intensity of 2000 mW/cm2) 
• Universal application: for direct and indirect bonding procedures and all etching protocols

Field of application – direct restorations

• Direct-placed light-curing composite and compomer restorations
• Direct-placed core build-ups with light-, self- and dual-curing composites (no activator required with dual-curing composites)
• Repair of fractured composite and compomer restorations
• Desensitization of hypersensitive cervical areas
• Sealing of prepared tooth surfaces before the temporary/permanent cementation of indirect restorations

Field of application – indirect restorations

• Adhesive cementation of indirect restorations with light- and dual-curing luting composites (no activator required with dual-curing luting cements)
• Suitable as a primer for restorations made from Tetric CAD composite blocks

Quality that stands out

The first working steps decisively influence the esthetic appearance and quality of the final restoration. Here is a detailed overview of the numerous advantages of Tetric N-Bond Universal.

High bond strength for greater confidence

Tetric N-Bond Universal achieves high bond strength values (> 25 MPa) on enamel and dentin irrespective of the etching protocol used or the moisture conditions on the tooth surface. Predictable, high bond strength values allow you to work with confidence.
