Uncompromising performance.

Designed for uncompromising bond strength in fewer steps, 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive bonds to all dental surfaces, including enamel, dentin, glass ceramic, zirconia, noble and non-precious alloys and composites with no primer needed. In combination with 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal DCA Dual Cure Activator, Scotchbond Universal Adhesive is compatible with all resin cements, core buildup materials and even self-cure composites.
