Basic prebonder XS
More than sandblasting. Pre-bonding.
What is pre-bonding, and why is it more than sandblasting?
What is pre-bonding, and why is it more than sandblasting?
Pre-bonding is the controlled surface conditioning of restorations prior to adhesive cementation. Pressure and particle size are not the only critical factors. Working distance, sandblasting jet geometry, and abrasive quality also matter. This transforms a procedure that is often highly dependent on the user into a reproducible clinical process.
With materials such as zirconia, insufficient surface conditioning can compromise adhesive bonding. Excessive energy input, however, may damage the surface. Basic prebonder XS and Basic prebonder help dental offices perform this sensitive step in a targeted, material-friendly, and reproducible manner.
- Defined pressure range for controlled energy input
- Consistent working distance with the Basic prebonder control tip
- Coordinated Prebonder surface pro abrasive for reproducible surface conditioning
The result: fewer uncertainties in the cementation workflow, greater process reliability, and a stronger foundation for long-term restorative success.
What makes Basic prebonder XS different?
In short, Basic prebonder XS makes controlled surface conditioning easily accessible, supporting more reliable bonding, less rework, and greater confidence in everyday clinical practice.
Three good reasons to choose Basic prebonder XS:
- Easy to integrate: A compact solution that complements existing equipment and established clinical workflows.
- Reduce potential sources of error: A defined working distance and controlled sandblasting jet support uniform surface roughness.
- Support reliable adhesive cementation: The coordinated workflow supports reliable bonding and may help reduce rework in everyday clinical practice.
Specially developed jet nozzle for a controlled sandblasting jet
If the sandblasting jet is too wide or imprecise, the surface may be activated unevenly and adjacent material may be unnecessarily affected.
The Basic prebonder jet nozzle directs the blasting energy precisely and supports controlled, reproducible surface conditioning up to the preparation margin.
Defined pressure and consistent working distance
If pressure or working distance is incorrect during prebonding, the surface may be activated unevenly or sensitive materials may be adversely affected.
Basic prebonder XS reduces these variables through a defined pressure range and the Basic prebonder control tip spacer, supporting controlled and reproducible surface conditioning.
Abrasive: A system solution, not an isolated parameter
The correct abrasive is a central component of the system. Prebonder surface pro is a high-purity 50-µm aluminum oxide coordinated with the sandblasting energy, working distance, and nozzle geometry.

Now bonding with greater confidence: Dr. Bordás-Semmelweis
„In clinical practice, sandblasting often leaves some uncertainty:
- Was the pressure correct?
- Did I maintain the right working distance?
That is exactly where Basic prebonder XS offers a great solution for me. It brings defined parameters into the workflow and helps me prepare the surface in a controlled manner. This gives me greater confidence before adhesive cementation and supports reliable bonding.“

Prebonder System—what Basic prebonder XS alternative is available for practices with more extensive needs?
The Basic prebonder is the validated alternative for practices that want to combine pre-bonding with additional applications. In addition to the Prebonder special tank, the modular device concept includes another tank - for example, for classic fine blasting tasks - and can be expanded with additional steel tanks.
This makes the Basic prebonder a suitable alternative to the Basic Prebonder XS when, in addition to controlled surface conditioning, greater flexibility is required in day-to-day practice.
FAQ: Prebonding in the dental office
Prebonding is the controlled surface activation of a restoration prior to bonding. The restoration is prepared under defined conditions to support reliable adhesive cementation.
Zirconia requires appropriate surface conditioning. If the sandblasting process is insufficient, bond strength may be reduced. If the process is too aggressive, the material may be adversely affected.
Basic prebonder XS defines the key process parameters, including pressure, working distance, nozzle geometry, and abrasive. This transforms sandblasting into a controlled workflow for adhesive cementation.
Prebonder surface pro is specifically coordinated with the system. The high-purity 50-µm aluminum oxide supports reproducible surface activation and is matched to the sandblasting energy, working distance, and nozzle geometry.
One possible reason is inadequate surface preparation. If pressure, working distance, and abrasive are not properly coordinated, bond strength may be compromised. Controlled prebonding creates defined conditions that support reliable adhesive cementation.
The workflow is intentionally kept simple:
- Prepare the restoration
- Selectively sandblast the inner surface down to the preparation margin
- Apply primer or bonding system, then permanently bond the restoration.
Use the Basic prebonder XS for controlled application—or the BASIC prebonder as a validated alternative with an expanded device concept, together with the Prebonder surface pro as the matched 50-µm abrasive.
