Dr Alex Setchell from Oak Lodge Dental Practice in Hampshires, shares his experience of the new Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive from 3M Oral Care:
“I have always found 3M to be good at bringing well-researched, effective products to market, with several 3M products proving to be gold standards. The customer support has also always been exemplary, both regarding enquiries to representatives while researching products and as a follow-up once I have used materials.
“I found Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive from 3M very easy to handle and apply. I used it as a self-etch, selective-etch and total-etch for posterior and anterior direct composites. In each case, it was intuitive to use and thinned easily prior to curing.
“I am most familiar with a two-bottle prime/bond system, which I find very reliable with minimal sensitivity. I found the Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive to have similar results with less stages required. I experienced no real incidence of white lines at margins or restorative debonds, and it seemed to work well with a variety of direct composites.
“The bottle design made it easy to dispense small amounts without waste. It was also easy to open and close properly (unlike screw lids that are often not secured properly). The potential for the product to act as a simple dentine sealing system for exposed root dentine and to immediately seal crown preps was useful and seemed effective.
“A single bottle for all light-cure/dual-cure/self-cure composite will simplify my procedures, reducing the number of bonding kits needed. If it works well with 3M RelyX Universal Resin Cement in my hands, it could end up replacing several different products at my practice.
“All in all, the advantages of this solution mean that I am considering moving away from my tried and tested bond to this as it is simpler, yet has more applications.”
