OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal

ONE BRAND. ONE PROTOCOL. ANY PROCEDURE.

Introducing OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal. Built on its predecessor OptiBond™ XTR, it combines the reliability of patented OptiBond™ GPDM technology with the peace of mind of a consistent, universal solution. Its two-component formulation brings together the power of a total-etch adhesive and the safety of a self-etch technique in one consistent protocol.

When used together, OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal and NX3 Nexus™ cement combine the clarity of one standardized process for all indirect procedures, with outstanding results even in total dark cure mode.

The Gold Standard In Adhesion. Kerr’s proven OptiBond™ GPDM Monomer ensures more effective and reliable adhesion than other adhesive monomers to both the tooth structure and the resin material.
Two Bottles. One Consistent Protocol. Prior to curing, OptiBond eXTRa Universal features a very low pH for effective enamel etching. After curing, the pH neutralizes, creating outstanding compatibility with virtually all types of cements, composites and core build-up materials and eliminating the need for any auxiliary product.

Why should I talk to my customers about Optibond eXTRa Universal?

Dentists are moving towards universal bonding protocols. This allows them to switch etching mode techniques depending on the clinical condition without switching bonding agents. Dentists also encounter situations where they choose less than optimal clinical outcome since universal bonding agents are commonly based on a single bonding agent protocol.

OptiBond eXTRa Universal is an exclusively formulated universal bonding agent that is delivers the best in class clinical outcome thanks to its simplified self-etch protocol. Offering your customers the gold standard in adhesive products with outstanding bond strength allows them to save time, simplify their workflow, and reduce the number of steps (no auxiliary products needed).

What is the technology behind eXTRa Universal?

The patented GPDM monomer, the novel Ternary Solvent System, and the exclusive Smart Ph Technology are make up the effectiveness of OptiBond eXTRa Universal. Collectively, these technologies result in a more reliable outcome and reduced post-operative sensitivity. Refer to the product brochure (MKT-18-0495) for more information.

What should I do with my current OptiBond XTR?

While you can still use OptiBond XTR, we encourage practices to upgrade to the new OptiBond eXTRa Universal system for more sustainable outcomes and fewer technique restrictions. Both doctors and patients will also appreciate the improved smell.
