Designed to bond to almost any substrate without the need for additional primers, Futurabond M+ from VOCO is a universal single bottle adhesive.
The adhesive works with self-, selective-, or total etch techniques and achieves high bond strengths with light-, self-, and dual-cure resin based composites, cements and core build-up materials, according to a press release. Futurabond M+ features a dual-cure activator that will cure without the need for light activation, and it adheres to metal, zirconia and ceramics as well.
Designed to work with a single coat in just 35 seconds, the adhesive offers a low film thickness of 9 microns to create ideal margins and prevent pooling. It can work as a desensitizer under amalgam, and it does not need to be refrigerated.

Futurabond® M+
Universal Single-bottle Adhesive
VOCO introduces Futurabond M+, a universal Single-Bottle Adhesive. Futurabond M+ versatility allows it to be used in self-, selective- or total etch mode without any additional primers on virtually all substrates. Futurabond M+ achieves total-etch bond strength levels with all light- self- and dual-cure resin based composites, cements and core build up materials. With a dual-cured activator Futurabond M+ will self-cure without any light activation which offers a big advantage for endodontic applications such as post cementation where it avoids the pooling effect, a problem with light cured adhesives. Futurabond M+ also adheres well to metal, zirconia and ceramic making extra primers unnecessary.
Futurabond M+ needs only one coat and takes 35 second from start to finish. Its low film thickness of only 9 microns makes bonding margins invisible (i.e. no “halo” effect) and prevents pooling problems. Additionally the material does not need to be refrigerated.
Further Futurabond M+ benefits include its indication as a desensitizer for use under amalgam restorations or on hypersensitive tooth necks, as a protective varnish for glass ionomers as well as an intraoral repair of ceramic restorations.
