Clearfil SE Bond

CLEARFIL SE BOND is Kuraray’s clinically proven, high-performance, self-etching adhesive for many indications. It is known for its outstanding marginal sealing thanks to the product’s powerful hydrolysis resistance. Dentists and patients appreciate the fact that the two-step adhesive produces virtually no post operative sensitivity. Amongst several universities and opinion leaders CLEARFIL SE BOND is deemed to be the Gold Standard.

CLEARFIL SE BOND is composed of two single liquids: a mild self-etching primer with a low technique sensitivity and a light-curing bonding agent with a high sealing ability. It is indicated for:

- Bonding of direct restorations made of light-curing composite or compomer
- Cavity sealing as a pretreatment for indirect restorations
- Treatment of hypersensitive and/or exposed root surfaces
- Intraoral repair of chipped or fractured restorations made of porcelain, hybrid ceramics or composite resin using light-curing composite
- Surface treatment of prosthetic appliances made of porcelain, hybrid ceramics or cured composite resin

Durable marginal seal
Powerful hydrolysis resistance for a durable marginal seal: This is offered by CLEARFIL SE BOND thanks to three features:
1. The MDP monomer forms a stable chemical bond between adhesive and tooth structure – resistant to hydrolysis.
2. Mild self-etching ensures that the hydroxylapatite is not completely removed from the collagen fibers, protecting them from hydrolytic degradation.
3. The bonding agent’s low water sorption further strengthens the marginal seal in the long term.
In this way, the risk of secondary caries is minimized.

Minimal post-operative sensitivities
In CLEARFIL SE BOND, the mild self-etching primer ensures that irritation caused by moving dentinal fluid is minimized. When the higher viscosity bonding agent is applied on top of the primer, a strong and stable bond layer is created. This layer excellently seals the dentinal tubules, so that occlusal stress caused by potential movement of dentinal fluid is prevented. The result: Minimal postoperative sensitivities.

Simplified application
With CLEARFIL SE BOND, neither a separate acid etching nor a rinsing step are necessary. Additionally,less attention to the surface moisture level has to begiven: The risk of over-wetting or over-drying of thepreparation is very low e.g. compared to wet bonding systems. This leads to a low technique sensitivity and simplified application requiring only a few steps:

 Prime
• Apply PRIMER and leave for 20 seconds
• Do not rinse
• Dry with mild air flow

 Bond
• Apply BOND and distribute evenly with mild air flow
• Light-cure for 10 seconds

 Restore
• Apply and light-cure composite

 
MDP. What else?
CLEARFIL SE BOND contains the Original MDP Monomer, an essential component of any adhesive product from Kuraray. Having been in use for more than 35 years, MDP offers a proven excellence in adhesion. The hydrophilic group of the adhesive monomer forms a strong chemical bond with calcium and hydroxylapatite. Since hydroxylapatite crystals remain in the hybrid layer after mild self-etching, a stable hybrid layer is formed by the adhesive. In addition, a strong bond to enamel is ensured.
