Creating a reliable bond. An all-in-one system

This paper explains the reasons why a new adhesion concept was developed, how it was conceived and what properties and test results were achieved with the product Prompt L-Pop that follows this new concept. Therefore, a short historical introduction into the development of adhesive materials is given followed by a summary of today's state-of-the-art techniques. The requirements for the new adhesion concept are pointed out and the outcome of the effort in the development is explained in more detail. In vitro and in vivo test results of Prompt L-Pop support the new concept by revealing excellent bond strength values in combination with good marginal adaptation and a significantly reduced post operative sensitivity. Finally, further developments regarding the new concept are discussed, such as the use of Prompt L-Pop in combination with plasma curing lights or indirect restorations.
