Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is
the difference between Bond-1® and Bond-It!®?
A: Bond-1® is our 5th generation dentin/enamel
adhesive system, a one step bonding kit.
Bond-It!® is our 4th generation dentin/enamel
adhesive system, a 2 part, primer A and
primer B adhesive kit. Both Bond-1®
and Bond-It!® get basically the same
results, the difference is your preference.
The main difference is that Bond-1®
takes fewer steps and is more economical
to use than Bond-It!®
Q: Is it recommended
to completely dry the tooth after etching?
A: After etching, don't overdry the tooth!
Bond-1® relies on the moisture present
on the tooth to allow penetration into the
dentin. If you overdry the tooth, the demineralized
dentin collagen collapses and prevents the
Bond-1® penetration. Sensitivity and
poor bond strength may result. So just lightly
blot the tooth dry, leaving a visible film
of moisture on the surface.
Q: Is it important
to blow dry before light curing?
A: Yes, Bond-1® contains a solvent which
must be volatilized before it is light cured,
so you must dry it thoroughly. However,
if you blow too hard, you may actually remove
the Bond-1® from the tooth. We recommend
that you hold your air syringe 2-3 inches
from the tooth surface and blow very gently
on the tooth. Dry for 10 seconds to be sure
you volatilize all the solvent, but keep
it gentle so as not to disturb the resin.
Q: Can Bond-1®
be used to bond amalgam?
A: Bond-1® in combination with AmalgaCure®
can be used to bond amalgam. See instructions:
Bonding Amalgam to Tooth Structure.

Bond-1®'s shelf life?

Bond-1® has a shelf life of 2 years.
