The Prelude TE version is supplied with phosphoric acid etchant, omitting the self-etching Primer. The dentin adhesion strength of Prelude using phosphoric etchant is about the same as with the self-etching primer. The enamel adhesion strength is improved with use of the phosphoric etchant. However use of self-etching primer is a less technique sensitive procedure. It is well known that self-etching primers rarely result in post operative sensitivity to bite pressure.
Independent tests confirm that Prelude SE has the very high 5 minute and 24 hour bond strengths. It also has the smallest standard deviation,* proving Prelude SE to be very technique insensitive.
Prelude is extremely forgiving in the presence of moisture. Too wet, or too dry is not a concern. Its water/ethanol formulation tolerates an environment that would adversely affect other products.
The remarkably low 5 micron fi lm thickness means fit is not affected and it will not present a radiolucent layer. Bond strengths to cut and un-cut enamel are extremely high. It is ideal for Cerec** and other milled systems.
