Description
Amber Universal Bonding Agent APS by FGM
The Amber Universal Bonding Agent APS by FGM is a next-generation universal dental adhesive designed to deliver high and reliable adhesion across multiple clinical techniques. Developed with APS (Advanced Polymerization System) technology and enhanced MDP chemistry, it supports consistent bonding to enamel, dentin, and a wide range of restorative substrates while maintaining excellent clinical stability.
This universal adhesive allows clinicians to choose between self-etch, selective-etch, or total-etch protocols, offering flexibility without compromising bond strength. Its colorless, BPA-free formulation makes it suitable for esthetic restorations and adhesive cementation procedures.
Advanced Adhesion and Universal Compatibility
Amber Universal APS demonstrates strong adhesion to enamel and dentin, as well as indirect restorative materials including ceramics, metals, CAD/CAM composites, and intraradicular posts. The enhanced MDP monomer in its formulation has increased reactivity due to optimized solvent and monomer balance, improving chemical interaction with dentin and indirect substrates.
APS technology ensures better polymerization, even in deep or apical regions, making this adhesive especially effective for intra-canal applications and compatible with dual-curing resin cements.
Clinical Indications
Amber Universal Bonding Agent is recommended for:
-
Direct composite restorations (Classes I, II, III, IV, and V)
-
Adhesive cementation of posts, cores, crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers
-
Use with fiberglass, ceramic, composite, CAD/CAM, and metal restorations
-
Adhesive repairs of ceramic and composite restorations
-
Use as a primer for metals or ceramics, with or without prior etching

Application Guide (Step-by-Step)
-
Clean the tooth surface and isolate the operative field using relative or absolute isolation.
-
If using total-etch or selective-etch technique, etch enamel and dentin with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds.
-
Rinse thoroughly with water and gently dry, keeping dentin moist.
-
Apply the first layer of adhesive using a micro-applicator, rubbing for 10 seconds.
-
Apply a second layer and rub for an additional 10 seconds.
-
Apply an air jet for 10 seconds to evaporate solvents and enhance adhesion.
-
Light cure for 10 seconds before proceeding with restoration.
-
For intra-canal applications, extend light-curing time to 20 seconds.
