A good adhesive is not measured by bond strength alone. In fact, many dentists consider low film thickness and viscosity as equally important. Prime&Bond elect Universal Dental Adhesive’s clinically proven PENTA (dipentaerythritol penta acrylate monophosphate) technology chases away water, enabling a strong bond with less sensitivity. It also features excellent bond strength and cures clear. It’s time to think beyond the bond.
In direct restorations, thick adhesives can pool in the corners of the proximal box. These adhesive pools can show up as translucent areas on a radiograph, which can easily be mis-diagnosed as a void, gap, or secondary decay, leading to unnecessary replacement. Thicker adhesives may also change the crown prep geometry, impacting crown fit.

Prime&Bond elect adhesive is built on the chemistry of one of the world’s most widely used and clinically tested adhesives. PENTA chemistry provides a unique micromechanical and chemical bond for long-term success. Not only does the chemistry use acetone to chase water from the prep, but unlike the MDP adhesive monomer which contains just one vinyl group, PENTA contains five vinyl groups (for locking into resin). Because of this structural advantage, adhesives with PENTA are better able to resist degradation of the bond.
Put it all together with one-step curing. When Prime&Bond elect adhesive and Calibra Ceram Resin Cement are paired together, there’s no need for a separate activator.
Test: Crown-pull Bond Strength Testing. Ceramics were treated with 5% HF and silanated. All adhesives were used in self-etch mode. All cements were self-cured except for the group with optional light-curing through crown. Artificial aging 10,000 thermocycling (5-55˚C). Source: Prof. John Burgess.

The clear color of Prime&Bond elect adhesive helps to ensure that the esthetic outcome of your restoration is not compromised.
Prime&Bond elect adhesive maintains impressive mechanical stability of the resin by limiting the amount of water absorbed by the adhesive. Too much water can degrade the bond over time, causing it to fail prematurely. Consistent bond strength across varied moisture levels is paramount for a durable bond.
