This video explores whether universal adhesives can match the performance of two-step self-etch adhesives like Clearfil SE Bond. While Clearfil is considered the gold standard in self-etching, universal adhesives can be enhanced with an additional hydrophobic layer to improve longevity and adhesion. We discuss studies demonstrating improved sealing and bonding performance when applying this technique. Watch to learn about the latest advancements in adhesive dentistry and how to achieve optimal results in your practice.
