OptiBond™ Solo Plus (by Kerr) is a 5th-generation,
single-component total-etch (etch-and-rinse) dental adhesive system. Unlike
traditional multi-step systems, it combines the primer and adhesive resin into
a single bottle, significantly simplifying the direct bonding workflow.
Properties
Loaded with Kerr’s
signature 0.4 μm barium glass filler. This structural loading reinforces
the dentin tubules at greater depths and creates a durable hybrid layer
that protects against microleakage.
Uses ethanol as
the primary solvent carrier. It is much less technique-sensitive than
acetone-based options, allowing deep penetration into the hybrid zone even
if the dentin is slightly over-dried.
Highly reliable
for all direct composite restorations, composite-to-porcelain repairs, and
amalgam sealing.
The glass-filled
formula improves clinical visibility on X-rays, making it easier to
distinguish the adhesive line from secondary decay.
