For direct and indirect restorations and all etching protocols[6]
Tetric N-Bond Universal can be used in conjunction with light-curing,
Universal self-curing and dual-curing composite restorative materials. It is the
use adhesive of choice for bonding composites of the Tetric N-Line. The
product acts as an adhesive in the placement of indirect and direct
restorations with light and dual-curing luting materials or as a primer for
conditioning restorations made from Tetric CAD composite blocks.
