3M Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive 100 L-Pop 41298

Clinical Overview

3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive is a next-generation, light-cured universal adhesive designed to simplify bonding across all clinical protocols—total-etch, self-etch, and selective-etch. Delivered in hygienic single-use L-Pop units, it ensures consistent dosing and reduces cross-contamination. Its advanced formulation provides strong, reliable adhesion to all dental substrates while supporting minimally invasive dentistry and efficient workflows.

Key Benefits

• True universal adhesive: Compatible with all etching techniques and bonds to enamel, dentin, ceramics, metals, and composites.
• Dentin-like radiopacity: Helps distinguish adhesive layers on X-rays, reducing risk of misdiagnosis.
• Virtually no post-operative sensitivity: Provides reliable sealing of dentin for improved patient comfort.
• Bonds to all substrates: Eliminates need for separate primers or silane in most indications.
• Dual- and self-cure compatible: Works seamlessly with all resin cements and core build-up materials without additional activators.
• BPA-derivative-free formulation: Supports modern material safety preferences.
• Minimally invasive support: Bonds effectively to caries-affected dentin while preserving tooth structure.
• Hygienic L-Pop delivery: Single-dose packaging ensures consistency and infection control.

Kit Contents

• 100 × L-Pop unit-dose adhesives
• 1 × 3 mL etchant syringe
• 25 × dispensing tips
• Technique guide and instructions for use

Working & Setting Times

• Working: Fast 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
• Root surface desensitization
• Repair of composite, ceramic, and metal restorations
• Cementation of indirect restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers)
• Protective varnish for glass ionomer restorations
• Sealing of cavities prior to amalgam placement

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 thoroughly, and gently dry (leave dentin moist).
3. Activate the L-Pop unit and apply adhesive to the prepared surface.
4. Rub the adhesive for approximately 20 seconds to ensure proper penetration.
5. Gently air-thin to evaporate solvent and create a uniform film.
6. Light-cure for approximately 10 seconds.
7. Proceed with the restorative or cementation procedure.
