It is interesting to me that they have once again used a name that we have all learned to trust - Scotchbond. This is a two-step product that has some unique features and benefits. Adper Scotchbond SE has consistently high bond strengths to enamel and dentin. It features a color-change indicator to ensure proper placement and activation. The pink primer solution is a visual indicator of coverage. When the adhesive resin is applied, the resulting solution becomes clear, indicating activation of the system. Incorporation of nanotechnology into the zirconia nanofiller of Adper Scotchbond SE allows high radiopacity, which prevents misdiagnosis of pooled adhesive as secondary decay. Unlike traditional self-etch systems, Adper Scotchbond SE self-etch adhesive’s unique formulation offers good stability without requiring refrigeration or shaking. To prevent hydrolysis during storage and to assure stability, the aqueous component is kept separate from the acidic resin until it’s combined on the tooth.
