The new all-in-one self-etching adhesive that combines three decisive demands of one-step bondings: speed, simplicity and strength.
CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS is the one-step adhesive for direct restorations. It is developed based on CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND technology which has five years clinical evidence.* Etching, priming and bonding steps are completed with one-liquid, one-coat treatment.
The excellent bond strength to enamel and dentin of CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS marks a new high-setting standard among one-step adhesives, enabled by Kuraray´s innovative adhesive technology which has been successful for more than 30 years. The fast and simple application combined with the fluoride releasing property make CLEARFIL S3 BOND PLUS the ideal choice for all kinds of clinical situations, including the therapy of children and core build-ups with the new CLEARFIL™ DC CORE PLUS. Furthermore, the system allows for precise and economic dosing.
The main benefit of using one-step adhesives is to reduce technique errors which might occur, thanks to a short application time. The time saving procedure makes CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS always ready for immediate use in only three short steps: apply, air-dry, light-cure – done in less than 30 seconds. In addition, combined with the very simple handling, a low technical error rate is established.
CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS is easy and comfortable to use since time intensive work steps such as shaking the bottle, exact mixing and applying of several components, multiple layering and rubbing on to the tooth are no longer necessary.
The high bond strength of CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS is created by two innovative technologies by Kuraray: the high performance initiator and the proven MDP monomer.
The new high performance initiator for light-curing improves the clinical performance by building up more active radicals than conventional initiators and making the bond more stable against water thanks to the increased polymerization ratio.
The integrated adhesive monomer MDP takes care of a strong chemical bond to hydroxyapatite. Being in use for more than 25 years, included in well-esteemed products like PANAVIA™ F 2.0 and CLEARFIL™ SE BOND, the MDP monomer stands for a high bond strength and reliable adhesion durability to tooth structure.
The stable interface between tooth and composite resin is furthermore ensured by Kuraray’s unique Molecular Dispersion Technology contained in CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS. The technology allows hydrophilic and hydrophobic components of the bonding to be homogenously combined – constantly. Thus, there is no phase separation, resulting in the formation of a homogenous layer on the preparation surface. The bond, showing no water voids, excels through its excellent bond performance. Hence, CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS is always ready to use and knows to convince with high bond strength over time.
CLEARFIL™ S³ BOND PLUS – your solution for a fast and easy bond!

CLEARFIL™ DC BOND is a self-etching dual-curing adhesive. It is the ideal adhesive for core build-up materials, especially for self- or dual-curing composites. The mild self-etching formula is suitable for the treatment of root canals instead of total-etching adhesives as here the strong acid remaining in the root canal causes damage to dentin due to insufficient washing.
