XP Bond by Dentsply Sirona Now Called Prime&Bond XP

MILFORD, Del.—More than twenty years ago, Dentsply Sirona launched the first one-bottle adhesive: Prime&Bond in the U.S. Next generations were known as Prime&Bond 2.0 and Prime&Bond 2.1.

With more than one billion applications, its successor Prime&Bond NT has been an integral part of restorative procedures for almost two decades. The most recent family member, the dental adhesive XP Bond, is now being integrated into the Prime&Bond umbrella brand as Prime&Bond XP.

All of the product’s properties will remain fully intact: there will be no changes either to its technology or to its chemistry.

Prime&Bond XP—formerly XP Bond—achieves great adhesion values and excellent marginal integrity making it suitable for all direct and indirect restorations.

When Prime&Bond XP is used in conjunction with the Self Cure Activator (SCA) and a Dentsply Sirona cement such as Calibra Ceram or Calibra Automix, it can be used entirely without the light-curing step. This means that the fit of the restoration remains undisturbed and unaffected by a previously cured adhesive layer.

This universal applicability has also been confirmed by an in-vitro comparative study* under the direction of Professor Roland Frankenberger of the University of Marburg. Prime&Bond XP—then still under the name of XP Bond—provided excellent marginal integrity for ceramic inlays even without light-curing.
