Clinical Overview
3M™ Single Bond Universal Adhesive L-Pop Intro Kit is a light-cured, single-component universal adhesive designed to simplify bonding across all etching techniques—total-etch, self-etch, and selective-etch. Supplied in convenient single-use L-Pop units, this intro kit allows clinicians to evaluate a proven universal adhesive system while benefiting from consistent dosing, improved infection control, and efficient chairside application.
Key Benefits
- Universal bonding versatility: Compatible with all etching techniques and a wide range of substrates.
- Consistent unit-dose delivery: L-Pop format ensures accurate dosing and reduces cross-contamination.
- Strong, reliable adhesion: Provides predictable bond strength to enamel, dentin, ceramics, metals, and composites.
- Integrated primer functionality: Eliminates the need for separate silane or metal primers in most cases.
- Low post-operative sensitivity: Effectively seals dentin for improved patient comfort.
- Moisture-tolerant formulation: Performs well in slightly moist dentin conditions.
- Dual- and self-cure compatible: Works with a wide range of restorative and cement systems.
- Ideal evaluation kit: Intro format allows clinicians to assess performance before larger-scale adoption.
Kit Contents
- L-Pop unit-dose adhesives (intro quantity)
- Etchant syringe
- Dispensing tips
- Application accessories (e.g., microbrushes)
- Instructions for use and technique guide
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.
