Avoid contact with soft tissue, skin or eyes. A rubber dam is recommended for intraoral use. Dentist should
use rubber or PVC dental gloves. Contaminated skin or mucosa should be wiped off immediately with alcoholand then thoroughly rinsed with running water, otherwise symptoms such as swelling may show. If
Super-Bond enters the eye, immediately rinse thoroughly with running water. The patient should be examinedby an ophthalmologist. When the cured adhesive contacts soft tissue, polish the adhesive surface.
Be careful of acidity
As the Enamel Etchant Gel and Dentin Etchant Gel are acid, avoid contact with soft tissue, skin or eyes, anddo not allow patients to swallow them while applying and washing them with water.
Be careful of flammability
Catalyst V and Monomer are flammable. Do not store where they may be exposed to open flame.
Clean spilled Catalyst V immediately with wet towels
The Catalyst V reacts with oxygen. If absorbed by a flammable material, it may raise the temperature enoughto cause smoldering. If the Catalyst V is spilled, wipe it up immediately with a WET(not dry) disposable towel.
Then rinse the towel to kill the catalyst thoroughly in running water.

1. What is Super-Bond?
Super-Bond is a self-cure dental adhesive resin cement based on MMA. It contains a high performancebonding monomer, "4-META", and a catalyst, "TBB". It shows excellent bond strength to tooth (enamel anddentin), metal*1, ceramic/zirconia*2 and dental resins.
For three decades it has been used extensively in a wide range of dental applications. During this long
period it has earned an excellent reputation for pulpal safety.
Super-Bond is widely known for its formation of a sound hybrid layer (resin impregnated layer) in bothenamel and dentin. This layer reinforces the tooth surface against recurrent caries and prevents the postoperative hypersensitivity.
*1 Use V-PRIMER concurrently for precious metal alloys.
*2 Use Super-Bond Universal Ceramic Primer concurrently for ceramic/zirconia.

3. Precautions

Read all instructions thoroughly before use.
3-1 Safety

Please keep the following precautions for safe use.
(Regarding Catalyst V, read 3-2 additionally.)
1 Applications
Use Super-Bond only for the applications recommended in this publication.
2 Past history of sensitivity
Super-Bond should not be used by clinicians or on patients who are methacrylic monomersensitive.
3 Symptomatic irritation
Cease using Super-Bond immediately, if signs of irritation such as rashes appear, and see aphysician.
4 Avoid contact
Avoid contact with soft tissue, skin or eyes. A rubber dam is recommended for intraoral use.
Dentist should use rubber or PVC dental gloves. Contaminated skin or mucosa should bewiped off immediately with alcohol and then thoroughly rinsed with running water, otherwise
symptoms such as swelling may appear. If Super-Bond enters the eye, immediately rinse
thoroughly with running water. The patient should be examined by an ophthalmologist. Whenthe cured adhesive contacts soft tissue, polish the adhesive surface.
5 Be careful of acidity
As the Enamel Etchant Gel and Dentin Etchant Gel are acid, avoid contact with soft tissue,
skin or eyes, and do not allow patients swallow them during application or rinsing.
6 Pulp protection
If the preparation approaches the pulp, apply a protective base.
7 Give care to flammability
Catalyst V and Monomer are flammable. Do not store where they may be exposed to open flame.

3-2 Precautions on Catalyst V

Catalyst V reacts with air and water to generate heat and lose activity. Please abideby the following.
1 Storage conditions

Avoid high temperature, high humidity and direct sunlight. The repeated temperature changes
may shorten the Catalyst V's shelf-life by causing the syringe to aspirate air.
*After a long storage, the first drop of the Catalyst V may be inactive, though the rest of thematerial remains active.
*The syringe is made of glass, therefore it must be handled with care to prevent shock, dropping,and other physical damage.

2 Cap closure

The cap simply slides on and off. Recap the syringe immediately after each use. Air (oxygenand humidity) deactivates the Catalyst V. Do not leave the cap off during the bonding procedure.

3 Screwing

If the Catalyst V does not come out of the syringe because of the tight screw, do not try too
hard to trun it. The content may splash as the syringe breaks.

4 After use

Unscrew the male-screw two turns counter-clockwise after each use to relieve pressure on
the Catalyst V. (Pressure buildup can cause leakage of the Catalyst V or a crack of the syringe.)

5 Clean spilled Catalyst V immediately with wet towels

The Catalyst V reacts with oxygen. If absorbed by a flammable material, it may raise thetemperature enough to cause smoldering. If the Catalyst V is spilled, wipe it up immediately
with a WET(not dry) disposable towel. Then rinse the towel to kill the Catalyst V thoroughly
in running water.

3-3 Storage

Please take the following precautions to maintain the quality.
1 Storage conditions
As in the case of the Catalyst V, store the Monomer, Polymer, Enamel Etchant Gel and Dentin
Etchant Gel in a cool, dark location. High temperature, high humidity and direct sunlight will
shorten their shelf-life.
2 Volatility
Monomer is highly volatile. Recap the bottle immediately.
3 Contamination
Do not mix the bottle caps.
4 Dispensing Cups and Brush Tips disposal
Both Dispensing Cups and Brush Tips are for one-time use. Dispose of them after use.

3-4 Disposal
Dispose of empty containers, etc. in accordance with local regulations.

3-5 To Get the Best Results with Super-Bond
1 Create and maintain a clean surface
Oil, blood, saliva and biofilm will lower the bond strength. Clean the tooth and prosthesis
thoroughly before cementing. After cleaning, take care to avoid re-contamination.
2 Dry the surfaces and prevent moisture contamination
After cleaning, dry the surface adequately. A rubber dam is highly recommended, as it will
reduce the chance of contamination by saliva, humid breath or blood.
3 Avoid eugenol-containing bases and cements
Eugenol is a polymerization inhibitor. Therefore, eugenol-contained bases and cements should
not be used with resin cements. To avoid cross-contamination, reserve a mixing dish exclusively
for Super-Bond. Do not use the same mixing dish for other adhesives.
4 Time constraints
Super-Bond's working and setting times are very different from those of traditional cements.
Follow the instructions carefully to get the best results.
5 Do not re-use Polymer
After using Super-Bond in the Brush-dip technique, dispose of any excess Polymer left in theDispensing dish. Do not return it into the container, as it has become contaminated with theMonomer.
6 Prosthesis Design
To avoid stress concentration which encourages debonding regardless of the actual bondstrength, design a prosthesis, such as wings of a bonded bridge, without thin unsupported area,
which may flex during mastication.
As in any dental treatment, the patient's individual constitution and the unique requirementsof clinical case at hand must be considered before selecting materials and conditions foruse.

6 Cleaning of the tip of the syringe

Wipe the tip of the syringe with a dry gauze after each use to prevent residue buildup. Thenrinse the gauze with water to kill any remaining activity. Buildup of the residue may preventthe cap from seating properly.

4 How to use Super-Bond
Super-Bond can be used either with the Bulk-mix technique or the Brush-dip technique.
Choose the appropriate technique by referring to the table below.

Cleaning

Comparison of Techniques

Outline oftechnique

Comparisonof the twotechniques

Ceramic / Zirconia Surface

Bulk-mix technique

Brush-dip technique

Polymer powder is mixed directly to theactivated liquid*.

The powder/liquid ball is formed at the tip of abrush by dipping the tip first into the activatedliquid* and then touching the Polymer powder.

Use the powder/liquid mixture immediately.

The activated liquid must be used up within 5minutes.

Applicable to comparatively wide area.

Applicable to comparatively narrow area only.

As the powder/liquid ratio is lower than thatof Brush-dip technique, the working time iscomparatively long but the curing is slow.

As the powder/liquid ratio is higher than that of
Bulk-mix technique, the working time of mixed ballis comparatively short and the curing is fast.

*Mixture of 4 drops of Monomer and 1 drop of Catalyst V

Washing and drying

Application of Super-Bond Universal Ceramic Primer*Super-Bond Universal Ceramic Primer is not available in some countries.
In that case, use Porcelain Liner M for porcelain (not for zirconia) according to the instruction for use.
