  • Added patient comfort because of the elimination of the etchant rinsing process
  • Exclusive delivery system is easily mixed by hand or used with the 3M™ Transbond™ Easy Roller
  • Use with moisture-tolerant light cure adhesives for good bond strength
  • A shorter treatment window saves you valuable time and builds greater productivity for your practice (1)
  • Patient comfort is increased because of the elimination of the etchant rinsing process
  • Performs both etching and penetration of monomers into the demineralized enamel, in one step, resulting in less enamel loss when compared to traditional etching

3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer is an easy, one-step system featuring unique chemistry that allows you to etch and prime enamel in one time-saving step. It provides consistent and reliable strength for ortho bonding when used with light cure adhesives.

3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer

Save time by etching and priming in one simple step.

3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer is made of a hydrophilic material that performs equally well in moist or dry environments. This helps you avoid moisture contamination, which can otherwise compromise bond strength and result in loose brackets at any stage of the bonding process.

With this self-etching primer, the ortho bonding strength is similar whether the product is applied to moist or dry teeth. Unlike other adhesive systems, it performs both etching and penetration of monomers into the demineralized enamel in one easy step, resulting in less enamel loss compared to traditional etching.

Activate, apply and dry. Then, get right to bonding. For full instructions, view the 3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etch Guide.

  • Clinician with gloves squeezing L-pop package
    Activate.

    Squeeze and fold to activate, and churn and swirl applicator to mix the primer.

  • Clinician dispensing primer on tooth
    Apply.

    Rub the saturated tip of the applicator onto each tooth surface. One 3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer unit will etch and prime all teeth on one arch only.

  • Clinician drying teeth with air hose
    Dry.

    Deliver a gentle air boost to each tooth.

  • Clinician light curing brackets onto teeth
    Bond and cure.

    Proceed immediately with bonding. Apply brackets with light-cure adhesive and cure.

Suggested applications
  • 3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer is both an etchant and a primer combined into one product. 3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer is indicated for use as a bonding mediator for bracket attachments. It is a combined etchant and primer in orthodontic treatment and is for use only with light-curing direct bonding orthodontic adhesives
