Bond-it!® FAQ
Q. What strength of acid etch should I use for etching dentin and enamel?
A. The Bond-It Kit is designed to give you maximum flexibility for your etching procedures. We provide 37% and 10% phosphoric acid etch in the Bond-It kit. If you prefer a less concentrated solution, choose the 10% acid etch. As long as the contact time is appropriate, your etching technique will not affect bond strength.
Q. How many layers of Primer A & B do I have to apply for a shiny surface?
A. We suggest 5 applications to assure total coverage of Primer A & B on dentin. Most of the time, 3 coats are sufficient. If a shiny surface does not appear after 3-5 coats, keep applying until it does.
Q. Is the Bond-It system compatible with all brands of composite?
A. Yes.
Q. Can I apply Primer A & B onto etched enamel?
A. Yes.
Q. When bonding amalgam to tooth structure, do I allow the adhesive resin to cure first?
A. No. Apply a mixture of Bond-It Resin – Light Cure and Dual Cure Activator onto primed dentin then apply and condense amalgam immediately. For proper timing, begin trituration prior to resin application.
Q. Can I bond composite to existing amalgam with the Bond-It bonding system?
A. Yes. Roughen and clean the amalgam surface. Acid etch enamel where applicable. Cover amalgam with a mixture of Primer A & B. Dry. Apply Bond-It Resin Light Cure and Dual Cure Activator and light cure. Add composite and cure as usual.
