G-ænial Bond Technical Manual
10.0 Field evaluation
thirty dentists from all over europe tested G-ænial Bond in 2010, placing in total almost 800
restorations. most of the dentists were using different bonding systems in their surgeries.
Figure 29: number of restorations in each indication type
10.1 technique used by testers
One of the major objectives in the development of G-ænial Bond was to make the bonding
suitable both for the self-etch and the selective etching technique.
Figure 30: choice of selective or self-etch technique
G-ænial Bond was used to restore
all types of preparations. in total,
almost 800 restorations were
placed.
40% to 50% of users always applied
phosphoric acid on enamel prior to
bonding, while 20% to 30% used
the self-etching mode only.
how many restorations did you place with the trial material?
Did you etch the enamel prior to the application of G-ænial Bond?
