4th Generation - gold standard. 1 etch 2 rinse 3 prime 4 bond more technique sensitive Top 3

• 3M Adper Scotchbond Multi-purpose plus
• Optibond FL
• All-Bond 2

5th Generation - 1 etch 2 rinse 3 prime and bond. not all adhesives in this category are compatible with DC and SC composites because the lower pH of the oxygen inhibited layer de-activate the tertiary amine in chemical cured composites.

• Optibond Solo Plus adds a dual cure activator, benzene sulphinic-acid/sodium salt solution, to raise pH.  With that it can bond to DC and SC but the extra chemical lowers bond strength.
• 3M Adper Single bond plus, Excite, Prime&Bond NT

6th Generation - selective etch products
Type 1 - 1 etch and prime 2 bond.

• Clearfil SE Bond, AdheSE

Type 2

• All-Bond SE, Adper Prompt L-Pop, Xeno III

7th Generation - selective etch with a all-in-one consistency

• Clearfil S3 Bond
• G-Bond, Futurabond DC, Bond Force, Xeno IV

Universal (2011) Compatible with both total and self etch systems, works with both dual and self cure products, primer for silica and zirconia.

1. Differs from 7th in that can bond dentin after phosphoric etch due to higher pH
2. Contains Silane (ceramic) and/or acidic monomer like MDP (zirconia) Tests show coat silane still improves and HF is mostly responsible anyway so not sure much advantage. 1

Scotchbond Universal has silane and phosphate monomer
All-Bond Universal found spot said has phosphate monomer BUT said needs Z-Prime still?? 1
Voco Futrabond U  is DC universal
