3M Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive 41307

Clinical Overview

3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive 41307 is a light-cured, single-component universal adhesive supplied in a convenient sample kit vial format. Designed for clinicians evaluating or introducing the system into practice, it delivers the same advanced bonding performance as full-size versions—supporting total-etch, self-etch, and selective-etch techniques. Its modern formulation provides reliable adhesion across all dental substrates while maintaining a simplified, efficient workflow.

Key Benefits

• Universal bonding performance: Compatible with all etching protocols and bonds to enamel, dentin, ceramics, metals, and composites.
• Dentin-like radiopacity: Enhances radiographic visibility and helps reduce diagnostic uncertainty.
• Virtually no post-operative sensitivity: Provides reliable sealing of dentin for improved patient comfort.
• No separate primer or silane required: Simplifies clinical procedures and reduces material inventory.
• Dual- and self-cure compatibility: Works seamlessly with all resin cements and restorative systems without additional activators.
• BPA-derivative-free formulation: Supports modern material safety preferences.
• Ideal trial format: Sample kit size allows clinicians to evaluate performance before committing to larger packaging.
• Supports minimally invasive dentistry: Bonds effectively to caries-affected dentin while preserving tooth structure.

Kit Contents

• 1 × 1.5 mL vial of 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive
• Technique guide and instructions for use

Working & Setting Times

• Working: Streamlined application protocol (~35 seconds total adhesive procedure).
• Setting: Light-cure in approximately 10 seconds depending on curing light intensity.

Indications

• Direct composite and compomer restorations
• Core build-ups and resin cements (light, dual, and self-cure)
• Bonding of fissure sealants
• Dentin sealing and desensitization
• Repair of composite, ceramic, and metal restorations
• Cementation of indirect restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers)
• Protective coating for glass ionomer restorations

Instructions for Use

1. Select the preferred etching technique (self-etch, total-etch, or selective enamel etch).
2. If using etch-and-rinse, etch enamel/dentin, rinse, and gently dry (leave dentin moist).
3. Dispense adhesive from vial and apply to the prepared surface.
4. Actively rub for approximately 20 seconds to ensure proper penetration.
5. Gently air-thin to evaporate solvent and achieve a uniform film.
6. Light-cure for approximately 10 seconds.
7. Proceed with restorative or cementation procedure.

Summary

The 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive 41307 sample kit offers clinicians an accessible way to experience a next-generation universal bonding system. Combining strong, reliable adhesion with simplified application and modern material safety features, it is ideal for evaluation, training, or low-volume use while delivering the same high clinical performance expected from the Scotchbond™ Universal Plus range.
