Bonding agents have to fulfill a wide range of very exacting demands, and it is impossible for a single product to offer maximum bond strength and optimal marginal integrity in every situation. The Peak Adhesive System sets new standards. The dentist decides whether the total-etch (“etch & rinse”) or self-etch (“non-rinse”) technique is preferable – with Peak, the results are always reliable and durable.

The Peak Adhesive System sets new standards. The dentist decides whether the total-etch (“etch & rinse”) or self-etch (“non-rinse”) technique is preferable – with Peak, the results are always reliable and durable. Even after thermocycling and mechanical loading, the composite/dentin and composite/enamel junction is virtually invisible under the microscope.2 Unground enamel Bonding system Ultra-Etch + Peak LC Ultra-Etch + PQ1 Prompt-L-Pop Peak SE + Peak LC Clearfil SE Bond Bond strength (MPa) 31.2 TE 28.3 TE 26.3 SE 25.4 SE 25.1 SE Dentin Composite Courtesy of Dr. Uwe Blunck Dentin Bonding system Peak SE + Peak LC Ultra-Etch + Peak LC Clearfil SE Bond Ultra-Etch + PQ1 Prompt-L-Pop Bond strength (MPa) 35.7 SE 35.5 TE 35.1 SE 33.7 TE 25.0 SE Composite Enamel 100 µm Marginal region of a Class V restoration after using the self-etch technique with Peak SE Primer & Peak LC Bond.

Halifax, Canada, 20081 Peak – Total-Etch System (“Etch & Rinse”) ™ The “conventional” method with proven top results: the Peak Total-Etch System. This technique is used successfully for all direct restorations. Whether a normal cavity, sclerosed dentin, or unground enamel – Ultra-Etch & Peak LC Bond achieve a reliable, strong bonding layer. The enamel and dentin are etched with the 35% phosphoric acid gel Ultra-Etch for 15 seconds, and then rinsed off. Surface water is blown away. Peak LC Bond is applied directly from the syringe, air thinned and light cured.
