GLUMA Bond Universal is effective owing to its easy handling properties and the reliable bond strength. Our unique moisture control system containing MDP makes the air-drying just as easy and provides a homogeneous bonding layer. Thanks to our exclusive drop control you can be sure to apply just as much adhesive as you need. With GLUMA Bond Universal, you bond efficiently and economically and you are sure to have created the required precondition for a long-lasting restoration.

One bottle of our genuinely universal adhesive represents manifold benefits for you:

  One bottle provides the adhesive for indications of direct and indirect restorations – and for intraoral repairs of chippings and fractures.

  

   

  • Bonding of direct restorations for all cavity classes (Black) using light-curing, dual-curing or self-curing methacrylate-based composites / compomers
  • Bonding of light-curing, dual-curing or self-curing core build-up materials.
  • Sealing of hypersensitive tooth areas.
  • Sealing of cavities prior to amalgam restorations.
  • Bonding of fissure sealants.
  • Sealing of cavities and core preparations prior to temporary cementation of indirect restorations (according to the immediate dentine sealing technique).
  • Cementation of indirect restorations with light-curing, dual-curing or self-curing adhesive resin cements.
  • Intraoral repair of composite and compomer restorations, porcelain fused to metal, metal and all-ceramic restorations.

   

  • ALL INDICATIONS

    

    One bottle of adhesive takes you through indications of direct and indirect restorations with amazing adhesion.

  • ALL DENTAL MATERIALS

    The intelligent new formula of GLUMA Bond Universal contains MDP and provides instant and reliable bond strength.

  • MULTI-TECHNIQUE CAPABLE

    

    You still work with your preferred bonding technique, because GLUMA Bond Universal respects your personal habits. Furthermore, you benefit from a short curing time of only 10 seconds.

  • MOISTURE CONTROL

    

    Acetone supports perfectly the water removal. You benefit from this intelligent system with easier air-drying, reduced techniquesensitivity and a homogeneous bonding layer

  • DROP CONTROL

    

    With our drop control, you apply just as much bonding agent as you need. The amount of single drops goes up to 220 per bottle.

    Step-by-step intraoral repair of silicate/ glass ceramics GLUMA Bond Universal

     

    • Enables tooth-preserving treatments.
    • No need to use hazardous hydrofluoric acid intraorally on the glass/silicate ceramic

    • Step-by-step intraoral repair of zirconia-based restorations

       

    • Zirconia must not be etched using phosphoric acid either!

    • Discover the effectivness of intraoral repairs!

      Repairs help preserve sound tooth structure and prove to be a safe and effective procedure that can save time and money with relatively minor effort. GLUMA Bond Universal is ideal for intraoral repairs.

    • 

      Why are repairs preferable to replacements?

      Localised restoration defects, such as fractures and chippings, often still result in the replacement of the total restoration. Yet, recent clinical studies show that repairs are a state-of-the-art treatment of localised restoration defects.
      
      They help preserve sound tooth tissue and prolong the restoration lifecycle, as every replacement destroys more sound tooth structure.

      

      Why is GLUMA Bond so ideal for intraoral repairs?

       

      • Preserve sound tooth tissue
      • Just one bottle for most materials
      • No need to apply hazardous hydrofluoric acid
      • Minimally-invasive and cost-effective solution

       

      The intelligent formula of GLUMA Bond Universal contains MDP and provides instant and reliable bond strength. Scientists from Europe and Japan have cooperated in order to equip our clients with a bonding that combines the best of two worlds. The different components interact to allow effective etching, good penetration into the dentinal tubules, durable and consistent bond strength as well as optimal bonding to ceramic, metal and tooth surface.

      It can be used for the bonding of direct restorations for all cavity classes (Black) using light‐curing, dual‐curing or self‐curing methacrylate based composites / compomers. Furthermore it can be used for the bonding of light‐cure, dual‐cure or self‐curing core build‐up materials. Hypersensitive teeth can be sealed, as well as prepared tooth prior to the placement of amalgam. The sealing of core preparations can also be performed prior to the temporary cementation of indirect restorations (according to the immediate dentine sealing technique). It also allows for the bonding of fissure sealants. Additionally it can be used for the cementation of indirect restorations with light‐cure, dual‐cure or self‐curing adhesive resin cements. Last but not least, GLUMA Bond Universal enables dentists to perform intra‐oral repairs to composite and compomer restorations, porcelain fused to metal, all ceramic, as well as metal restorations.

      Acetone acts as a water chaser and enables a fast and secure evaporation of water, which is required for a durable and consistent bonding system.

      Water is always present during cavity preparation and is also an important component in adhesives to achieving efficient etching of the tooth. After application and etching, both the water and solvent have to be optimally removed to enable efficient adhesive layer polymerisation throughout the light curing process.

      Acetone as a solvent, with very high air pressure, supports this evaporation process. Therefore this acetone/water system ensures an optimal polymerisation result and thereby maximising bond strength.

      The “moisture control”- system of our unique formula ensures a fast and reliable evaporation of water due to the usage of acetone as the solvent.

      GLUMA Bond Universal can be used in the self‐etch, selective etch or total‐etch technique. This enables the dental practitioner to use his preferred etching technique. GLUMA Bond Universal is compatible to self‐, dual‐ and light‐ curing materials.

      GLUMA Bond Universal can be used for bonding of direct and indirect restorations with different surfaces (e.g. silicate ceramics*, zirconia, precious and non‐precious alloys and composites.) *also use GLUMA Ceramic Primer.

      Every manufacturer has a different understanding/definition of ”universal” features. Our definition: GLUMA Bond Universal offers the choice between different bonding techniques, ensuring the compatibility to light‐, self‐ and dual‐curing materials without the need of a dual cure activator, bonding of composites/compomers, ceramics*, non‐precious metals and precious metals, while having just one liquid for a broad range of indications. *also use GLUMA Ceramic Primer.

      GLUMA Bond Universal can be used with selective enamel etch, self‐etch or total etch technique.
