MDP inside

  • After Kuraray introduced the first adhesive monomer in dental history by inventing the phosphate monomer Phenyl-P in 1976, its molecular structure has been improved by creating a molecule with even greater adhesive capability to the tooth structure and an affinity for metal. The result of this development work was the MDP monomer (10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate), which convinced users by its special monomer structure. This phosphate monomer is extremely effective for enamel, dentin and on metal alloys.

  •  

    Consequently, Kuraray successfully introduced a range of products including the MDP Monomer to the market, such as PANAVIA™, a high-performance resin cement for difficult clinical situations, bonding systems such as
    CLEARFIL™ SE BOND, the golden standard for adhesives, or
    CLEARFIL™ S³BOND, an all-in-one adhesive with excellent adhesion results. But also Kuraray’s
    CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER for esthetical restorations or ALLOY PRIMER, a pretreatment agent for conditioning metal (amongst others) are part of the range of high quality products.
