Improved one-component adhesive providing excellent bonding to dentin, enamel, composites, ceramics, metals and amalgam stability, durability and versatility.
MerFill Bond is an advanced one-component adhesive system that provides one of the highest levels of adhesion among one- component adhesives. The adhesion strength of MerFill Bond to the etched dentin is 17-40 MPa after 24 hours (depends on the individual laboratory test).
INDICATIONS FOR USE:
Adhesive system for composite restorations (including flowable composites).
Adhesive varnish for “cavities for amalgam restorations”.
Protective varnish for ultra-sensitive areas of teeth.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
Compatible with most photopolymer restoration materials and cements.
Includes components (Bis-GMA, HEMA, phosphates) that provide high adhesion strength: to enamel - 26.6 MPa, to dentin - 26.5 MPa (after 24 hours).
Easy in use.
Long shelf life without refrigeration.
Economical in use.
Excellent bio-compatibility, the material does not contain acetone or other compounds that irritate the pulp.
METHOD OF USING:
After etching apply the adhesive with a brush in the same way as varnish for cavities is usually applied.
Cover the etched area with one or two layers of MerFill Bond in series. A single layer may not be enough. Do not rinse. Do not allow contamination of the working area.
Light cure for 10 seconds.
Then fill the cavity with a light-cured composite material or cement.
INDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS:
In case of restoration of the V class cavities (cervical defects) the adjacent edges of the enamel should be beveled and etched in the usual way.
Before etching dentin and adjacent enamel should be pre- cleaned with a polishing paste (free of fluorine), washed and lightly dried with compressed air that does not contain oil impurities
TREATING OF HYPERSENSITIVE CERVICAL AREAS:
Clean the cervical area of hypersensitive tooth with prophylaxis paste and rubber cup.
Wash the paste out with water.
Dry with air free of oil.
Avoid overdrying of dentin.
Apply MerFill Bond in the same way as for direct restorations.
