3M Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer, 712-090, 100/Box

Description:

3M Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer, 712-090, is an orthodontic bonding primer designed to combine enamel etching and priming into a single clinical step. The product is supplied in a 100-unit package, with each single-use foil pack containing a pre-measured amount of primer and an applicator. This format is designed to simplify orthodontic bonding procedures and provide a convenient, consistent approach to enamel preparation. The self-etching formulation is intended to perform both etching and penetration of monomers into demineralized enamel in one step. By combining these functions, the system can help reduce the number of steps involved in conventional etch-and-prime procedures. The manufacturer also states that the product can result in less enamel loss compared with traditional etching techniques. Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer uses hydrophilic chemistry designed to perform in both moist and dry conditions. This moisture-tolerant characteristic can be helpful during orthodontic bonding, where controlling contamination and maintaining an appropriate bonding environment are important. The manufacturer indicates that the primer can provide similar orthodontic bonding strength under moist and dry application conditions. Each single-use unit contains sufficient primer for one complete dental arch, helping clinicians maintain a convenient chairside workflow and avoid handling larger quantities of material. The applicator can be activated and mixed by hand or used with the compatible 3M Transbond Easy Roller. After activation, the primer is applied to the tooth surfaces, followed by gentle air drying before proceeding with bonding. The product is indicated as a bonding mediator for bracket attachments and is intended for use with light-curing direct bonding orthodontic adhesives. Its one-step design may help shorten the treatment window and eliminate the need for a separate etchant rinsing stage, which the manufacturer identifies as an additional patient-comfort benefit. Dental professionals should use 3M Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer according to the manufacturer's instructions for use, including the recommended activation, application, drying, bonding, and curing procedures. Appropriate storage, handling, and clinical safety practices should also be followed. Overall, 3M Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer, 712-090, provides a convenient 100-unit supply of single-use orthodontic primer designed to combine etching and priming in one step, support moisture-tolerant bonding, and streamline bracket bonding procedures.
