Elevate Your Practice With Dental Advisor Awards Winners

As a dentist, you understand how vital precision, efficiency, and trust are in the materials you use. Each decision you make impacts not only the quality of care you provide but also the comfort and confidence of your patients.

That’s why it’s worth celebrating when products are recognised as industry leaders by Dental Advisor, a trusted name in clinical evaluation. This year, four of Solventum’s products proudly took home coveted Dental Advisor awards across multiple categories. These products are more than just tools—they’re solutions to some of the biggest challenges faced in dental practices.

Let’s explore each winner and why these standout innovations deserve a place in your practice.

3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive: A Bond You Can Trust.

Adhesion is everything in restorative dentistry, and no one wants to risk a failure. In this category, Scotchbond Universal Plus, proves what it really means to be ‘universal’. Dentists everywhere face the challenge of working across multiple adhesive modes, substrates, and procedures. This adhesive simplifies those complexities, offering truly universal compatibility.

Why Dentists Love It:

Works seamlessly in every adhesive mode: self-etch, selective-etch, or total-etch.
Acts as a primer for restorative materials like zirconia and glass ceramics.

Award evaluator insights: “After drying, it was easy to tell if you had a nice layer of material over the entire surface to be bonded.”

No guessing games. No extra activators. Just reliable results.

3M™ RelyX™ Universal Resin Cement: Streamlining Indirect Restorations

Cementation can often feel like a balancing act—time pressures, material waste, and variable results. RelyX Universal Resin Cement addresses these frustrations by offering unmatched efficiency and top-tier performance.

Why Dentists Love It:

Saves time: Its small syringe is quick and easy to dispense, with no mixing required.
Breakthrough performance: It achieved the highest bond strengths ever tested in Dental Advisor labs for dentine and zirconia in both self-adhesive and adhesive modes.

Award evaluator insights: “Great syringe that minimises waste. It saves me both time and material.”

When your goal is a seamless, time-efficient workflow with superior results, this cement delivers.

3M™ Imprint™ 4 VPS Impression Material: Consistent Impressions, Every Time

How often do suboptimal impressions disrupt your work—forcing retakes, delaying treatments, and frustrating patients? With Imprint 4 VPS Impression Material, those days are over. This product ensures crisp margins, vivid colour contrast, and reliable results, even for the most challenging cases.

Why Dentists Love It:

Self-warming properties speed up the setting process in the mouth.
Bright, contrasting colours of the light and heavy body materials improve visibility.

Award evaluator insights: “I never have a retake with this material, even with difficult subgingival preparations.”

This means less chair time, happier patients, and more confidence in your impressions.

3M™ Clinpro™ Clear Fluoride Varnish: Next-Level Preventive Care

When it comes to preventive care, patients want treatments that are both effective and comfortable. Clinpro Clear Fluoride Varnish sets itself apart with a water-based formula that avoids common pitfalls like clumping or clogging suction lines.

Why It’s Dentist-Approved:

High fluoride content (9,500ppm) combined with calcium and phosphate for sensitivity reduction.
Fast application with a short post-application wait time of just 15 minutes.

Awards evaluator insights: “The consistency is great, and it does not clump as other fluorides do.”

This product doesn’t just treat patients; it enhances their experience, making prevention feel like an upgrade.
