The new universal adhesive combines light and dual curing capabilities in a single product. It is the first adhesive that can be applied directly from the VivaPen in a dual-cure mode – without the need for an additional activator. Adhese 2 can be used in all etching techniques and can be combined with all light- and dual-curing composites, giving dentists greater freedom of choice in everyday clinical practice. New Products from Ivoclar without the need for a separate dual-cure activator. “With Adhese 2 in the VivaPen and the new option for dual-curing applications, we significantly expand the clinical range of applications: Dentists can now cover an even broader range of clinical situations with a single adhesive. This simplifies clinical workflows and increases efficiency – a clear benefit for every practice,” says Georg Musil, Global Commercial Product manager at Ivoclar. Maximum clinical flexibility in combination with Variolink® Esthetic DC Dual-curing is achieved when using the blue DC cannula in combination with a dual-curing luting composite. This ensures reliable polymerisation even under lightlimited conditions, e.g. when luting indirect restorations or endodontic posts. The combination of Adhese 2 with the blue DC cannula and Variolink Esthetic DC results in consistently high bond strengths on both enamel and dentine, regardless of the etching technique used, contributing to reliable, longlasting restorations. Reliable adhesion and clinical safety Adhese 2 delivers consistently high bond strength values* (> 25 MPa) on enamel and dentine, regardless of the etching protocol used. Its high moisture tolerance ensures a consistently strong adhesion on both dry and moist dentin, while the integrated desensitising effect reduces the risk of postoperative sensitivity. * In combination with Tetric plus Fill, Tetric plus Flow and Variolink Esthetic DC. Precision and efficiency in demanding clinical procedures Adhese 2 can be applied in a minimum layer thickness of approx. 10 µm, supporting the precise fit of indirect restorations and the seamless integration of direct fillings. It also increases efficiency in everyday clinical practice: when applied from the VivaPen, it allows controlled, material-saving intraoral dispensing and helps reduce material waste, enabling up to four times more single-tooth applications per millilitre compared to bottle systems. Short curing times enable efficient workflows in direct and indirect procedures.
