Research Highlights:
G2-BOND Universal was tested in DENTAL ADVISOR Laboratories for a 12-month thermocycling protocol. The purpose was to determine if the bond would be viable. Results of the study were excellent as it proved that the bond was not only strong, it was durable when subjected to repeated thermocycling. G2-BOND Universal performed better than CLEARFIL SE Bond 2 and Optibond FL tested in their respective etching modes to dentin and enamel in immediate 24 hour shear bond strength and after accelerated aging and 12 month storage.

Evaluator Comments:

“Good film thickness and flowability.”
"I love the precise dispensing."

GC is broadening its adhesive portfolio with G2-BOND Universal, its first all-round universal 2-bottle adhesive.

G2-BOND Universal is leading the way to a new standard in adhesive dentistry with GC’s proprietary Dual H-Technology, giving clinicians in only one system what they would expect from existing self-etch and etch-and-rinse gold standard products.

The Dual H-Technology of G2-BOND Universal enables the advanced optimisation of bonding both to tooth and composite by the smooth transition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic characteristics. The remarkably hydrophobic bond layer thanks to the HEMA-free composition lowers the occurrence of water sorption which decreases the risk of degradation and lead to superior durability.

G2-BOND Universal offers unmatched marginal quality with its strong bond layer that avoid gap formation and microleakage which leads to remarkable sealing effectiveness with virtually no post-op sensitivity.

G2-BOND Universal offers an all-round performance of a HEMA-free unique composition of functional monomer (4-MET, MDP, MDTP) for durable adhesion to different substrates.

G2-BOND Universal offers controlled dispensing with its modern, intelligent and ergonomic cover design by eliminating waste and therefore saving cost.

G2-BOND Universal offers a new 2-bottle bonding standard in all etching modes that leads to

Long-lasting restoration
Virtually no post-operative sensitivity and unmatched marginal quality
Superior handling and dispensing
