3M Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive Intro Kit L-Pop 41297

Clinical Overview

3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive Intro Kit (L-Pop) is a light-cured, single-component universal adhesive system designed to simplify bonding across all clinical protocols—total-etch, self-etch, and selective-etch. Delivered in hygienic unit-dose L-Pop capsules, it ensures consistent, contamination-free application while providing strong, reliable adhesion across all dental substrates. The system supports minimally invasive dentistry and streamlines restorative workflows with a true one-bottle solution.

Key Benefits

• Universal bonding solution: Compatible with all etching techniques and suitable for both direct and indirect procedures.
• Dentin-like radiopacity: Enhances radiographic visibility and reduces risk of misdiagnosis.
• Virtually no post-operative sensitivity: Provides reliable dentin sealing for improved patient comfort.
• No separate primer or silane required: Bonds to all substrates without additional components.
• Minimally invasive support: Bonds and seals caries-affected dentin to preserve tooth structure.
• Dual- and self-cure compatibility: Works with all resin cements without additional activators.
• BPA-derivative-free formulation: Aligns with modern material safety preferences.
• Hygienic L-Pop delivery: Unit-dose packaging ensures consistency and infection control.

Instructions for Use

1. Select the preferred etching technique (self-etch, total-etch, or selective enamel etch).
2. If required, 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 adhesive for approximately 20 seconds to ensure proper infiltration.
5. Gently air-thin to evaporate solvent and achieve a uniform film.
