Description
Amber Bond APS by FGM is a high-performance light-curing dental adhesive developed to deliver strong, stable, and long-lasting bonding to enamel and dentin. Formulated with APS (Advanced Polymerization System) technology and MDP chemistry, this adhesive provides predictable adhesion even in clinical situations where moisture control is challenging.
Designed for etch-and-rinse protocols, Amber Bond APS ensures a high degree of polymerization and excellent adhesive interface stability. Its colorless formulation preserves the esthetics of restorations and cementations, making it suitable for both anterior and posterior procedures. Dental professionals in Pakistan rely on Amber Bond APS for consistent clinical performance in direct restorations, adhesive cementation, and restorative repairs.
Key Benefits of Amber Bond APS
Increased polymerization efficiency with reduced sensitivity to moisture
Strong chemical and mechanical bonding due to MDP monomers
High conversion degree for long-term adhesive interface stability
Enhanced film resistance through treated silica nanoparticles
Colorless formulation that does not affect restoration esthetics
BPA-free composition supporting patient safety
Reliable performance in areas close to the gingiva or lower teeth
Clinical Indications of Amber Bond APS
Direct composite restorations (Classes I, II, III, IV, and V)
Light-curing glass ionomer cement restorations
Adhesive cementation with resin cement for posts, cores, crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers
Repairs of ceramic and composite restorations
Use as a primer for metal or ceramic substrates
Application Guide (Step by Step)
Clean the tooth surface thoroughly and isolate the operative field using relative or absolute isolation.
Etch enamel and dentin with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds.
Rinse with abundant water and gently dry, keeping dentin moist.
Apply the first drop of adhesive using a micro-applicator, rubbing for 10 seconds.
Apply a second layer and rub for another 10 seconds.
Apply an air jet for 10 seconds to evaporate solvents and enhance adhesion.
Light cure for 10 seconds before proceeding with the restoration.
For intra-canal applications, extend light-curing time to 20 seconds.
