Clinical Overview
3M™ Single Bond Universal Adhesive L-Pop 100-Pack is a light-cured, single-component universal adhesive designed to simplify bonding procedures across all etching techniques—total-etch, self-etch, and selective-etch. Delivered in convenient single-use L-Pop units, it ensures consistent dosing, reduces cross-contamination, and enhances workflow efficiency while providing reliable adhesion to a wide range of dental substrates.
Key Benefits
- Universal compatibility: Suitable for all etching techniques and bonds to enamel, dentin, ceramics, metals, and composites.
- Consistent unit-dose delivery: L-Pop format ensures precise application and minimizes waste.
- Strong and durable adhesion: Provides predictable bond strength across multiple clinical indications.
- Integrated primer functionality: Eliminates the need for separate silane or metal primers in most cases.
- Low post-operative sensitivity: Seals dentin effectively for improved patient comfort.
- Moisture-tolerant formulation: Performs reliably in slightly moist dentin conditions.
- Dual- and self-cure compatible: Works seamlessly with all resin cements and restorative systems.
- Efficient workflow: Simplifies procedures and supports high-volume clinical environments.
Kit Contents
- 100 × L-Pop unit-dose adhesives
Working & Setting Times
- Working: Active application with rubbing for approximately 20 seconds.
- Setting: Light-cure in approximately 10 seconds depending on curing light intensity.
Indications
- Direct composite and compomer restorations
- Core build-ups and resin cement bonding
- Bonding of fissure sealants
- Dentin sealing and desensitization
- Repair of composite, ceramic, and metal restorations
- Cementation of indirect restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers)
- Bonding to glass ceramics without separate silane in most cases
Instructions for Use
- Select the preferred etching technique (self-etch, total-etch, or selective enamel etch).
- If required, etch enamel/dentin, rinse thoroughly, and gently dry (leave dentin moist).
- Activate the L-Pop unit and apply adhesive to the prepared surface.
- Rub adhesive for approximately 20 seconds to ensure proper infiltration.
- Gently air-thin to evaporate solvent and achieve a uniform film.
- Light-cure for approximately 10 seconds.
- Proceed with restorative or cementation procedure.
