Dentsply Sirona releases the Midwest E Plus electric handpiece attachments

	Over 20 years ago, Dentsply Sirona launched the first one bottle adhesive: Prime&Bond

 in the US. Next generations were known as Prime&Bond

2.1. With more than one billion applications and counting, its successor Prime&Bond

 NT™ has been an integral part of restorative procedures for almost 2 decades. The most recent family member, the high-performance dental adhesive formerly known as XP Bond, is now being integrated into the Prime&Bond umbrella brand as Prime&Bond XP.

	All of the product’s favorable properties will remain fully intact: there will be no changes either to its technology or to its chemistry. Only the name will be changed in order to show practitioners that this adhesive, too, stands for unrivaled Etch&Rinse excellence. Prime&Bond XP-formerly XP Bond-achieves great adhesion values and excellent marginal integrity both with light-curing composites and together with the Self Cure Activator also with dual- or self-curing composite cements, making it suitable for all direct and indirect restorations.

	When Prime&Bond XP is used in conjunction with the Self Cure Activator (SCA) and a Dentsply Sirona cement such as Calibra

 Automix, it can be used entirely without the light-curing step. This means that the fit of the restoration remains undisturbed and unaffected by a previously cured adhesive layer.

	This universal applicability has also been confirmed by an in-vitro comparative study

 under the direction of Professor Roland Frankenberger of the University of Marburg. Prime&Bond XP-then still under the name of XP Bond-provided excellent marginal integrity for ceramic inlays even without light-curing.

	Prime&Bond XP is described as a reliable partner for all direct and indirect restorations. This high-performance Etch&Rinse adhesive, formerly known as XP Bond, is now being integrated into the family of

	Dentsply Sirona’s Aquasil Ultra+ Smart Wetting Impression Material is described as a completely redesigned VPS offering. The impression material is formulated to merge state-of-the-art intraoral hydrophilicity and intraoral tear strength to deliver improved results--optimizing performance in all areas, not just one.

	The plus means clinicians do not have to choose between wettability, tear strength, speed and delivery options. The material is a final VPS impression material indicated for use in all impression techniques and is available for purchase through approved 

 distributors. It provides clinicians a no-compromise solution to their final impression needs with market leading intraoral hydrophilicity and intraoral tear strength.

	The impression material’s market-leading intraoral hydrophilicity is designed to help clinicians avoid trapping fluid from the moment the material is syringed into the moist, humid environment, helping clinicians alleviate voids and bubbles at or near the margin. Market-leading intraoral tear strength delivers a material designed to help clinicians reduce risks of tears at the margin while the material is in thin cross-sections and when being removed from the patient’s mouth, including in cases where retraction paste is used. The material is said to deliver clinically relevant work/set times, viscosity choices, and 

 patented digit Targeted Delivery System to provide a no-compromise product solution for single-unit crown cases and more. For more information on this new product or other impression materials, visit
