Coltene also claims that the product covers in only one coat and eliminates post-treatment sensitivity. One Coat Bond is recommended for bonding to enamel, dentin, noble and base-metal alloys, ceramics, composites, compomers, and glass ionomers. Following its 20-second active application, the bonding agent is light cured for 30 seconds. Dentsply claims that the product is able to relieve sensitivity from exposed dentin for up to 6 months, five times longer than other desensitizing products. The product is also said to contain and release fluoride for its beneficial effects.
Product literature notes that patients can eat, drink, and brush immediately following treatment.
Previously, only impression materials made by ESPE were provided in a packaged form that could be used in the machine. When Aquasil DECA is ordered, a dispensing cartridge is provided as well as the foil containers of impression material. Attached to the foil containers is a self-activating cap which eliminates the need to manually cut the impression material bags open before use. The ESPE bags are manually cut, placed into the cartridge, and then capped before being inserted into the Pentamix machine. Various combinations of the different viscosities of Aquasil are available for purchase in the DECA form.
