3M ESPE Adper Scotchbond SE

Adper Scotchbond SE Self-Etch Adhesive is a two-bottle, high performance self-etch adhesive from 3M ESPE with confidence-inspiring features you won't find with other self-etch adhesives.

Confidence starts with knowing you have accurate adhesive placement and coverage. There will be no doubt using Adper Scotchbond SE adhesive. Its colour-change indicator gives you visual confirmation of coverage, as well as proper etch activation. The technique provides for a solvent-free, hydrophobic overcoat similar to the bonding philosophy of Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive. This novel bonding approach, combining the unique colour change technology and hydrophobic overcoat, results in low technique sensitivity and more consistent performance.

Adper Scotchbond SE adhesive also contains a surface-modified, bonded zirconia nanofiller that provides radiopacity to reduce the chance of misdiagnosis of secondary caries in the case of adhesive pooling. In addition, the bonded nanofiller enhances bond strength.

Summary of Advantages

• Total-etch performance in a self-etch adhesive
• Reduced risk of post-operative sensitivity
• Colour-change indicator verifies coverage and activation
• Radiopaque to reduce risk of misdiagnosis of decay
• Patented bonded nanofiller for optimized bond strength
• Moisture tolerant - works on wet or dry enamel and dentin
• Good stability - without refrigeration or shaking
• Root surface desensitizer

Indications
Light-curing Adper Scotchbond SE adhesive is for these indications:

• Bonding between dentin/enamel and composite filling
• Bonding between dentin/enamel and compomer filling
• Intraoral repair of porcelain, composite and metal using light-cure composite resin
• Desensitization of hypersensitive teeth/root surface
• Adper Scotchbond SE adhesive is suited for light-curing materials, but not for dual-curing or self-curing materials, and is not indicated for indirect applications, including use in veneer placement.
