3M™ ESPE™ Adper™ Single Bond 2 Adhesive is a highly advanced dental bonding agent designed for a wide range of dental applications. This adhesive builds upon the success of the original Adper Single Bond adhesive, offering a total etch, visible-light activated formula enriched with a 10% weight of 5nm diameter silica filler. It is primarily intended for direct light-cured restorative procedures and addressing cervical sensitivity. Moreover, it can be effectively employed in bonding laboratory-made composite or porcelain veneers when combined with RelyX™ Veneer Cement and for securing amalgam and other indirect dental applications in conjunction with RelyX™ ARC adhesive resin cement.

Adper Single Bond 2 Adhesive comes in two convenient options, either as a vial with a unique translucent design for visual inspection or in a hygienic unit dose delivery system, simplifying the application process. Its composition comprises key components like BisGMA, HEMA, dimethacrylates, ethanol, water, and a specialized photoinitiator system, along with a polyalkenoic acid copolymer known for its moisture resistance properties. The inclusion of nanotechnology is a notable feature, with 5 nanometer-diameter silica particles ensuring stable suspension without the need for frequent shaking, distinguishing it from adhesives with larger filler particles prone to settling.

This adhesive achieves its strong bond through a micromechanical process, involving the demineralization of enamel and dentin surfaces with a phosphoric acid treatment.

Composition

• BisGMA
• HEMA
• Dimethacrylates
• Ethanol
• Water
• Novel photoinitiator system
• Polyalkenoic acid copolymer

• 1 x 6g Bottle

• Isolation: Rubber dam is the preferred method of isolation.
• Cavity preparation: Prepare cavity with minimal tooth reduction. Bevel cavosurface enamel margins.
• Etching: Apply Scotchbond Etchant to enamel and dentin. Wait 15 seconds. Rinse for 10 seconds. Blot excess water using a cotton pellet or mini-sponge. The surface should appear glistening without the pooling of water.
• Adhesive: Immediately after blotting, apply 2-3 consecutive coats of adhesive to etched enamel and dentin for 15 seconds with gentle agitation using a fully saturated applicator. Gently air thin for five seconds to evaporate solvents. Light cure for 10 seconds.
• Restorative placement, cure, and finishing: Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the placement, cure, and finishing of restorative materials.
