Product overview

Inventory ID: 999-0903AA

SingleBond 2 is a total-etch, light-activated dental adhesive designed to bond restorative materials reliably to enamel and dentin during direct and select indirect restorations. Its nanofilled formulation provides strong dentin and enamel adhesion while reducing postoperative sensitivity. This Complete Buyer's Guide enables confident selection and supports standardized bonding protocols for dependable clinical outcomes.

What makes this product stand out?

SingleBond 2 is engineered to provide high dentin and enamel bond strength with a moisture-tolerant copolymer in a water/ethanol solvent that resists rapid evaporation on the tooth surface. The stable nanofiller technology maintains consistent dispersion without shaking, reducing technique sensitivity while supporting reliable adhesion across direct composite and select indirect restorative applications.

Key advantages include:

  • Total-etch chemistry provides high bond strength to enamel and dentin
  • A stable nanofiller maintains uniform dispersion without shaking
  • Water/ethanol solvent resists rapid evaporation and supports lasting bond strength
  • Light-activated curing provides controlled clinical workflow timing
  • A moisture-tolerant copolymer reduces post-operative sensitivity

What is this product made of?

Singlebond 2 adhesive consists of resin monomers in a water/ethanol solvent system with bonded silica nanofillers. This moisture-tolerant copolymer and water/ethanol solvent combination resists rapid evaporation on the tooth surface, supporting shear bond strength that is maintained over time compared to acetone-based adhesives.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Nanofilled vs non-filled adhesives: Nanofillers maintain uniform dispersion and provide consistent performance without shaking
  • Total-etch vs self-etch systems: Total-etch systems provide high bond strength at enamel margins when used with proper etching protocols

For dental teams, this formulation supports efficient delivery and reliable bond strength across a range of restorative needs.

What is it used for?

SingleBond 2 adhesive is used in adhesive dentistry to bond light-cured restorative materials to prepared enamel and dentin surfaces. The adhesive supports reliable adhesion during direct composite restorations and can also be used in select indirect restorations when combined with compatible systems and protocols.

Common applications include:

  • Bonding direct composite restorations in Class I to V cavities
  • Adhesive interface for porcelain and composite repairs
  • Supporting adhesion in indirect restorations with compatible protocols
  • Root surface desensitization, when combined with suitable liners
  • Adhesive foundation before definitive restorative placement

Sizing & selection

Choosing the correct adhesive supports restoration longevity, marginal integrity, and reduced sensitivity.

Etch protocol:

Total-etch adhesives like Singlebond 2 require a separate phosphoric acid etching step to prepare enamel and dentin. Confirm the team's familiarity with total-etch workflow and protocols for best results.

Restorative compatibility:

Select adhesives that match restorative materials and curing light systems. Singlebond 2's light-activated design integrates well with visible light-cured composites and many indirect repair protocols.

Dispensing format:

Adhesive bottles support precise dispensing but require careful cap management to minimize solvent evaporation. Unit-dose formats may reduce waste in low-volume operatories.

Technique consistency:

Consistent application, air thinning, and light curing protocols across the team support predictable bond performance and minimize variability between providers.

Singlebond 2 supports efficient adhesive procedures when reliable bond strength and consistent technique matter.

Explore other options

Many practices keep a range of bonding agents to match restorations, substrates, and technique preferences.

  • Scotchbond Universal Plus for multi-mode etching flexibility and radiopaque performance
  • Self-etch adhesives for simplified bonding protocols
  • Primer/adhesive combinations for enhanced moisture tolerance
  • Dual-cure compatible adhesives for indirect restorations

Tailoring adhesive choice to procedure type, material preference, and clinical workflow supports optimal outcomes and team confidence.

Care & storage

Store dental adhesives properly to maintain performance and safety.

  • Store at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight
  • Keep bottles tightly closed between uses to minimize solvent evaporation
  • Avoid contamination by dispensing only with clean applicators
  • Dispose of waste materials according to local regulations
Frequently asked questions
  1. Do I need a separate etching with this adhesive?Yes, Singlebond 2 requires a separate phosphoric acid etch before adhesive application to prepare enamel and dentin surfaces for bonding.
  2. Can I use this with indirect restorations?Yes, you can use it as part of an indirect restoration protocol when paired with compatible systems.
  3. How long should I cure the adhesive?You should follow manufacturer guidance for visible light curing times to ensure complete polymerization and optimal bond performance.
  4. Does nanofiller improve performance?Yes, the 5 nm bonded silica nanofillers maintain stable dispersion within the bottle and contribute to higher dentin bond strength performance without requiring shaking.
  5. What if the surface is over-dry?You should follow rinse and blot protocols carefully, as excessive dryness may reduce bond effectiveness. Proper moisture control after rinsing is critical for reliable adhesion.
