FAQ

What is the difference between BF & One Up Bond F Plus?

One Up Bond F Plus is a 6th generation, single step, color chromatic bonding system. When primer A & B are mixed One Up Bond F Plus turns pink, once fully polymerized the pink disappears. Bond Force is a 7th generation, single component, single application bonding system, offering slightly higher bond strengths than One Up Bond F Plus.

Is there any post-operative sensitivity with Bond Force?

Typically there is no post-operative sensitivity with Bond Force. With that being said, it is important to follow all manufacturers' instructions and Bond Force is no exception. Bond Force is very easy to use and will eliminate your sensitivity issues when used as recommended. Apply Bond Force to the tooth, wait 20 seconds (while waiting, rub the margins and uncut enamel) it is very important to air dry gently for 5 seconds followed by moderate to strong air, light cure for 10 seconds then place your restoration.

Quick note: When using Bond Force you will notice that the consistency is not as thick as other bonding agents on the market; that is one of the reasons Tokuyama stresses the importance of starting out with a light or gentle air dry for 5 seconds.

Will Bond Force work with dual-cure and self-cured composites?

Bond Force is a light-cure bonding agent, if using dual-cured composite you must light-cure the material; Do Not use Bond Force on self-cured composites / core materials or dual-cured materials in self-cure mode.

What is the film thickness of Bond Force?

Bond Force has an extremely low film thickness of about 8µm, making it an excellent choice for all composite restorations including anterior aesthetic restorations.

Is Bond Force radiopaque?

Due to the extremely low film thickness (8µm), you will not see the bonding layer on a radiograph; the material itself is radiolucent.

Do I need to use acid etch?

There is no need to use acid etch. Bond Force's unique chemistry eliminates the need for acid etch, even on uncut enamel. However, if you prefer to use acid etch you may; research has shown that the use of acid etch will not effect the bond strengths of Bond Force.

What is the shelf life of Bond Force?

Bond Force has a 3 year shelf life and Must be refrigerated.

Some of my Bond Force unit doses appear "brownish or reddish" in color and thick, what should I do?

This could happen when Bond Force is exposed to high temperatures during transportation and/or not being refrigerated for long periods of time. Discontinue use and contact Tokuyama at 877-378-3548. Please have dealer information and lot number available.

How do I get reliable bond strengths with Bond Force?

For the best results it is important to read and follow the manufacturer's directions. Bond Force is very easy to use and is less technique sensitive. Simply, apply Bond Force to the enamel and dentin, wait 20 seconds (while waiting, rub the margins and uncut enamel), lightly air dry for 5 seconds, follow by a strong air for 5+ seconds, light cure for 10 seconds.

Can Bond Force be used for porcelain or composite repair?

Yes, Bond Force may be used for porcelain and composite repair. If the repair involves all porcelain or composite, Tokuyama recommends using Tokuso Ceramic Primer on the porcelain/composite surface prior to applying Bond Force. If the repair involves a PFM, Tokuyama recommends using Metaltite on the precious metal followed by Tokuso Ceramic Primer on the porcelain/composite surface.
