G-ænial Bond Technical Manual
10.2 handling Results
G-ænial Bond has been designed to require only a very limited number of application steps,
thereby offering ease and simplicity of use and avoiding the risk of errors during application. the
bottle dispenser, viscosity, and the surface appearance were all designed to fulfil these objectives.
Figure 31: evaluation of the viscosity of G-ænial Bond
the results in table 9 show that the product was easy to dispense (90% good or excellent), the
surface could easily be wetted (93% good or excellent) and the bonding layer was easily visible
upon application (83% good or excellent). users also appreciated the application time (80% good
or excellent). thanks to the frosty surface (see Figure 32), placement of the first composite layer was
found to be very easy (97% good or excellent); the material did not slide and adhered well to the
bonded surface.

93% of users found the viscosity of
the product appropriate. the
viscosity of G-ænial Bond helps to
ensure an even distribution of the
adhesive on the tooth surface.
