SDI Zip Bond - Universal Adhesive

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.

• 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 etch techniques.
• Select Zipbond Universal for consistent adhesion, predictable clinical outcomes.
  

Predictable Bond Strengths to Indirect Substrates

Zipbond Universal achieves high bond strengths to composite, ceramic, porcelain and metal substrates.

• Bond strength across indirect substrates is comparable, highlighting reliable adhesion for these restorative situations.
• Use Zipbond Universal, together with your preferred indirect restorative material, with confidence.

Proprietary combination of adhesive monomers

Zipbond Universal contains two adhesive monomers that work in harmony to deliver a durable and robust bond. A proprietary combination of monomers, including the MDP monomer, makes adhesion effective on enamel, dentine and a range of indirect substrates.

• The adhesive monomers contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Hydrophilic monomers quickly infiltrate into enamel and dentine tubules.
• Effective wettability is achieved as the adhesive spreads homogenously over the tooth surface, offering a complete seal of dentine tubules.
• Upon curing, the hydrophobic monomers reduce the permeability of water to create a sound interface and strong interaction between tooth and substrate.

Features

Exceptional control: Controlled handling, optimal film thickness and increased bond strength is achieved by the incorporation of nanofillers. Zipbond Universal is easy to apply in a homogenous thin layer. Indirect restorations can be seated with precision to deliver an unobstructed seal against the tooth.
Highly aesthetic: The adhesive is visible upon placement and virtually invisible on dentine after it is cured. It is ideal for use in aesthetic zones with bleach and translucent restorative materials.
Fluoride releasing: The primary factor in the premature failure of moderate to large composite restorations is secondary decay at the margins of the restorations’3. Zipbond Universal is fluoride releasing to protect the tooth-restorative interface against demineralisation. An effective marginal seal that fights recurrent decay results in a longer lasting restoration.
Pleasant aroma: Zipbond Universal is mild in its aroma to support your patients comfort during restorative procedures. 

Clinical Tips

• Try it as a desensitizer, as well as for bonding.
• The light color makes it great for anterior esthetics.
