At CLINICIANS CHOICE, we strive to create products that solve specific clinical problems, are easy to use for both dentist and staff, while consistently maximizing clinical results. Another aspect of our product development is keeping up with the latest research so that we can create the most advanced materials for better dentistry.
Introducing MPa™ MAX, a total-etch adhesive system that provides: MAX bond strength to all surfaces MAX ease of use MAX prevention of post-operative sensitivity MAX adhesive longevity MAXimum Bond Strength In a recent independent research study,1 MPa MAX 5th Generation Total-Etch Adhesive produced the highest bond strength to dentin, enamel, zirconia and lithium disilicate. Regardless of the bonding situation you face, MPa MAX will give you confidence for consistency and longevity.
MAXimum Ease of Use MPa MAX is designed for consistency and utilizes a single application on each adhesive wall. Youll notice MPa MAX is thicker than other adhesives, which allows you to easily coat each adhesive wall, ensuring the dentin and enamel are properly sealed. Unlike other adhesives that are easily over-thinned during the solvent evaporation step, MPa MAX is best thinned with half air pressure until the adhesive stops moving which indicates the ethanol solvent is properly evaporated while ensuring the adhesive remains behind. This feature is a primary reason that we have never received a complaint about post-operative sensitivity from MPa users over a 5-year period.
MAXimum Prevention of Post-Operative Sensitivity Post-operative sensitivity is consistently prevented in two ways with MPa MAX. As stated above, MPa MAX consistently coats and seals dentin tubules which prevents intratubular fluid flow - the cause of post-operative pain. The MPa MAX Kit also contains G5, a gluteraldehyde-based desensitizer that has a long clinical track record for preventing post-operative sensitivity. G5 is placed after etching and before MPa MAX adhesive placement. G5 works by coagulating the intratubular fluid, helping to seal the dentin and prevent stimulation of the odontoblast processes. Combined, G5 and MPa MAX, eliminate the chance of sensitivity.
MAXimum Adhesive Longevity Recent research proves that most dentin bonding agents loss significant bond strength within the first 6 months, and by up to 50% (Pashley research). When acid is used to etch dentin, the mineral content of the dentin is dissolved leaving organic collagen behind as well as exposed MMP (Metalloproteinases) enzymes. After the dentin adhesive is placed and restoration completed, these MMPs slowly dissolve the collagen at the adhesive interface, resulting in significant degradation of the adhesive bond. Virtually all self- and total-etch adhesives are susceptible to this bond degradation. However, further research reveals that MMP activation can be inhibited with Chlorhexidine or CHX. MPa MAX is one of the few adhesives that contains 0.2% CHX to help prevent adhesive bond degradation
