Self-Etching Primer
Reliance Orthodontics’ new Ultra S.E.P. combines preparatory etching and priming of enamel in one step. The five-second liquid application requires no premixing or rinsing, thus saving time and material costs while providing complete enamel preparation for bonding. The primer is effective for rebonding, occlusal build-ups, and enhanced band-cement retention, as well as for emergency repairs, according to the company.
