A 5th generation, single component, multi-use adhesive, which is hydrophilic and suitable for use on moist dentin (wet bonding technique). The adhesive incorporates aspects of a primer and bonding resin in a single bottle designed to bond composites and compomers to dentin and enamel as well as treated amalgam, metal and ceramic surfaces. After etching, penetration and saturation of the dentin and enamel are accomplished in 2 to 3 coats.
