Science gives practitioners confidence to use adhesives.
December 03, 2019by Dr Miryam Schuckar, Germany.Science gives practitioners confidence to use adhesives.
In-vitro testing and external studies offer clinical proof that 3M Scotchbond Universal Adhesive works well in self-etch, selective-etch and total-etch modes, highlighting the importance of science in the development of 3M products.
In-vitro testing has offered clinical proof that 3M Scotchbond Universal Adhesive works well in self-etch, selective-etch and total-etch modes, highlighting the importance of science in the development of 3M products. Testing setups that closely imitate the oral environment found the adhesive performed well in the areas of bond durability, bond strength to different substrates, technique sensitivity, moisture tolerance and the marginal integrity of restorations placed with the material. These results, obtained internally at 3M, were confirmed externally by studies conducted at different universities and in the clinical environment, providing practitioners with the scientific proof they need to use 3M products with confidence.
