OptiBond XTR
Predictable. Reliable. Extraordinary.
Universal Solutions by OptiBond XTR
Low Film Thickness
OptiBond XTR stands apart as the only bonding agent that embodies both
the power and durability of a total-etch adhesive and the simplified protocol
of a self-etch technique. Universal compatibility enables use for all direct and
indirect restorations. The unique chemistry of an enhanced self-etch primer
and optimized adhesive in this 2-bottle system brings outstanding bond
strengths to uncut enamel and dentin.
Inspired by:
Is it even possible –
a self-etch adhesive with
the strength of a total-etch?
It is. And Kerr has made it happen.
- Dr. Marc Geissberger
Tthe uniqueness of OptiBond XTR stands in universal solutions it offers.
OptiBond XTR was designed to accommodate different needs for various
indications and different application techniques.
5µm
Low film thickness of OptiBond XTR is advantage for
indirect restorations placement.
Research
OptiBond XTR employs Kerr’s well-proven GPDM technology, ternary
solvent system, filled adhesive and optimized formulation to produce
outstanding adhesion for direct and indirect procedures.
• Independent testing demonstrates statistically superior enamel and
dentin bond strength.
• Enhanced primer provides superior self-etching power on enamel
and exceptional penetration into dentin.
• Optimized adhesive offers efficient polymerization and increased
hydrophobicity to boost mechanical strength, bond durability, and
marginal integrity.
