OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal
For over 125 years, we have been serving the comprehensive needs of
the dental community in pursuit of enhancing oral health. Especially when
it comes to bonding, we innovate Dental Excellence: With more than
25 years of experience and long-term proven results, all our products set
benchmarks in adhesion. Now we are combining our three outstanding
technologies GPDM Monomer, Kerr Ternary Solvent System and Smart pH
into one new adhesive solution: the new OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal.

GPDM Monomer Ternary Solvent System Smart pH

The Gold Standard in Adhesion
The proven OptiBond™ GPDM Monomer
ensures better adhesion with both the tooth
structure and the resin material and overall

the adhesive to the hydrophilic surface of
the tooth.

To add reliability and reduce technique sensitivity,
OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal is also enriched with
the Kerr proprietary Ternary Solvent System for
an overall combined action:
• WATER enhances the etching power and
re-wetting ability, facilitating penetration
of the adhesive into dentinal tubules.
Unique acidity drop
Introducing the exclusive smart pH technology
that adapts the acidity of the bonding formula
ensuring full indirect compatibility with virtually
all resins.
• Prior to curing, OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal
features a very low pH for effective
enamel etching.

• The presence of more methacrylate functional
groups, compared to other adhesive monomers
such as MDP, allows a more effective interface
with the hydrophobic resin.
• ACETONE enhances shelf-life stability and • After curing, the pH neutralises, creating
