No need to light cure for 10-20 seconds - No need to agitate on surface for 10-20 seconds - No need to wait between placement and air-dry polymerization step #### Reliable - High bond strength to various surfaces & substrates - Separation of acidic monomer (Bond A) & ceramic primers (Bond B) prevents deterioration of silane coupling agent and maintains superb bond strength to ceramic, PFM's, lithium disilicate, and zirconia - Excellent cavity adaptation to avoid voids #### Active Chemistry - Mix 1 drop of Bond A and Bond B to trigger Active-Chemistry self-cure - Worry-free polymerization where curing lights cannot reach ![timer-white](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/timer-white.png?width=100&name=timer-white.png "timer-white") ## QUICK & EASY APPLICATION **Shorten chair time by eliminating the need to add activators or primers, agitate, light cure, or wait after placement.** ![3M-vs-TOK---direct-restorations](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3M-vs-TOK---direct-restorations.png?width=1000&name=3M-vs-TOK---direct-restorations.png "3M-vs-TOK---direct-restorations") ![3M-vs-TOK---dual-curing](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3M-vs-TOK---dual-curing.png?width=1000&name=3M-vs-TOK---dual-curing.png "3M-vs-TOK---dual-curing") ![strength-white](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/strength-white.png?width=100&name=strength-white.png "strength-white") ## STRENGTH & VERSATILITY ### Etching Protocol Compatibility with self-etch, total-etch, and selective-etch techniques. ![TUB-Self-etch-Dentin](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TUB-Self-etch-Dentin.png?width=200&name=TUB-Self-etch-Dentin.png "TUB-Self-etch-Dentin") SELF-ETCH / DENTIN x 3,000 magnification ![Etching protocol-Shear Bond strength to Dentin](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Etching%20protocol-Shear%20Bond%20strength%20to%20Dentin.jpg?width=600&name=Etching%20protocol-Shear%20Bond%20strength%20to%20Dentin.jpg "Etching protocol-Shear Bond strength to Dentin") ![TUB-Self-etch-Enamel](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TUB-Self-etch-Enamel.png?width=200&name=TUB-Self-etch-Enamel.png "TUB-Self-etch-Enamel") SELF-ETCH / ENAMEL x 3,000 magnification ![etching protocol-Shear Bond Strength to Enamel](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/etching%20protocol-Shear%20Bond%20Strength%20to%20Enamel.jpg?width=600&name=etching%20protocol-Shear%20Bond%20Strength%20to%20Enamel.jpg "etching protocol-Shear Bond Strength to Enamel") *The 145th Meeting of the Japanese Society of Conservative Dentistry, 2016 ### Shear Bond Strength High adhesion values to various dental surfaces and substrates. ![BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-CERAMICS](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-CERAMICS.png?width=300&name=BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-CERAMICS.png "BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-CERAMICS") ![BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-ZIRCONIA](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-ZIRCONIA.png?width=300&name=BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-ZIRCONIA.png "BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strength-ZIRCONIA") ![BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strengthIMETAL](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strengthIMETAL.png?width=300&name=BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strengthIMETAL.png "BROCHURE-Shear-bond-strengthIMETAL") ![graph-key-01](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/graph-key-01.png?width=300&name=graph-key-01.png "graph-key-01") *The 35th Annual Meeting of Japan Society for Adhesive Dentistry, 2016 ### Mixing Ratios Tokuyama Universal Bond maintains performance under a wide range of mixing ratios, offering a wide margin for error. ![MIXING-ratios](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MIXING-ratios.png?width=600&name=MIXING-ratios.png "MIXING-ratios") ### Cavity Adaptation – Direct Restoration Excellent cavity adaptation provides void-free bonding. ![Captivity-Adaption-Direct-Restorations](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captivity-Adaption-Direct-Restorations.png?width=800&name=Captivity-Adaption-Direct-Restorations.png "Captivity-Adaption-Direct-Restorations") *Tokuyama Dental R&D Data ![Universal Icons](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Universal%20Icons.png?width=97&name=Universal%20Icons.png "Universal Icons") ## True Universal **All dental substrates, no additional activators or primers needed.** ![Composite restoration 2](https://universalbond.tokuyama-us.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Composite%20restoration%202.jpg?width=200&name=Composite%20restoration%202.jpg "Composite restoration 2") -
