OptiBond™ eXTRa Universal Extraordinary Performance
A two-component self-etch universal adhesive system designed to be used for all direct and indirect applications, embodying both the power and durability of a totaletch adhesive and the simplified protocol of a self-etch technique.
Enhanced Bond Compatibility
The enhanced bond compatibility of NX3 Nexus™ and OptiBond™ eXTRa eliminates the need to light cure the adhesive, resulting in virtually no film thickness, no seating issues and imperceptible margins. No silane or metal primer.

One-coat primer and a one-coat adhesive that can be applied on moist or dry surfaces, with excellent dental bonding that helps reduce postoperative sensitivity
Exceptional Long Term Clinical Performance
Case 1 is a class IV in tooth #8 to restore the incisal, distal corner. I used a selective etch technique to prepare the tooth, and then followed with an application of OptiBond™ Universal adhesive and cured with the Demi™ Ultra curing light. A layer of Harmonize dentin shade A-3 was applied lingually and cured; I then followed with Harmonize enamel shade A-2 with additional curing. The restoration was contoured using 12 fluted carbide burs and ProGloss disc and cup polishers. Polishing paste was not needed. The translucency and luster blended beautifully. Total time: 20 minutes
Case 2 illustrates multiple teeth restored with Harmonize. Diastema closure with restoration of class IV defects was carried out using a total etch technique followed by OptiBond™ Universal, which I routinely use for its minimal film thickness as well as its clear appearance. The base restorative material was Harmonize dentin shade A-1 followed by enamel B-1 and a final layer of Harmonize Translucent Blue. We finished shaping the material using twelve fluted carbide burs; and then we used disc and cone-shaped ProGloss polishers to create the desired luster. We corrected the gingival height discrepancy using a diode laser. Total time: 45 minutes
