frog

SDI's Frog self-etching primer infiltrates cut tooth surfaces, effectively dissolving the smear layer formed during cavity preparation. Frog users do not require a separate etching step. Instead, the dentinal tubules are simultaneously plugged as they are etched. Frog deeply penetrates to form a very strong bond enabling a perfect grip to the tooth surface. Frog maintains the hydroxyapatite in the collagen fibrils assisting in mechanically bonding the adhesive to the tooth surface. Post-operative sensitivity is prevented: no separate etching, washing and / or drying required, hence over drying cannot occur. Patient comfort is maximized.

Frog’s specially treated nanofillers improve the cohesive strength of the bond and ensure good adaptation to tooth structure when applied to both dentin and enamel. There will be complete marginal sealing to protect the restoration margins against the diffusion of oral fluids and microorganisms. No shaking of the bottle is required.

Indications

• Bonding of direct resin based restorations
• Bonding of indirect restorations with indicated resin cement
• Bonding composite to old amalgam
• Orthodontic brackets (etching required)
• Repairing composite, porcelain and hybrid ceramic restorations
• Sealing exposed root surfaces causing hypersensitivity
• Cavity sealing prior to placement of indirect restorations
• Treatment of hypersensitivity
• Desensitising cervical areas
• Crown preparations
