<STRONG>gt;Prelude is a nano-hybrid, light-cured dental adhesive system with an optional dual-cured activator. The system includes a self-etching primer; alternatively, the adhesive may be used with the total-etch technique. It is indicated for use with direct or indirect procedures to bond composite to dentin, enamel and porcelain and is compatible with all composites and compomers. The self-etch technique requires the application of a primer followed by the adhesive and then light curing for 10 seconds.

The self-etch kit contains one, 5-ml bottle each of primer, adhesive and dual-cured activator along with accessories. For the total-etch technique, the tooth surface is treated with phosphoric acid and rinsed; then the adhesive is applied and light cured for 10 seconds.
