Description
Ortho Bite Composite – Light Cure Bite Block Resin by FGM
Ortho Bite Composite by FGM is a light-curing orthodontic resin designed for temporary dental disocclusion and orthodontic band cementation. It functions as a reliable bite block material and provides strong adhesion, controlled viscosity, and smooth surface finish.
Dentists use this material to create occlusal stops and to cement orthodontic bands under moderate to high occlusal load.
Brand: FGM
Type: Light-Cure Orthodontic Composite
Indications: Bite Block / Band Cementation
Self-Adhesive Orthodontic System
Ortho Bite Composite bonds directly to etched enamel without requiring a separate adhesive in most clinical cases. This reduces procedure time and simplifies workflow.
When greater adhesion is necessary due to heavy occlusal forces, clinicians may apply a bonding agent before placement.
Temporary Dental Disocclusion (Bite Blocks)
The balanced viscosity allows precise occlusal lift formation. Its self-leveling rheology ensures uniform adaptation to enamel surfaces.
Clinicians can build controlled stops that create approximately 1mm disocclusion depending on the treatment plan.
Orthodontic Band Cementation
This material provides strong adhesion and high resistance to displacement, especially in:
Bands supporting accessories
Heavy elastic mechanics
Direct occlusal loading on tubes
Brachyfacial patients
High occlusal stress cases
It demonstrates greater adhesive strength to enamel compared to conventional glass ionomer cement in band cementation.
Self-Leveling Nano Technology
Nanometric spherical particles create a smooth surface finish that:
Enhances patient comfort
Reduces friction during occlusion
Eliminates need for polishing paste
Improves wear resistance
Key Clinical Benefits of Ortho Bite Composite
Self-adhesive on etched enamel
Balanced working viscosity
High smoothness
Strong orthodontic band retention
Blue tint for visibility and easy removal
Light-cure controlled setting
Step-by-Step – Bite Block Placement
Install orthodontic appliance and evaluate occlusal contacts.
Clean enamel surface thoroughly.
Etch enamel with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds.
Rinse and dry properly.
Apply Ortho Bite Composite in increments up to 2mm.
Light cure each increment for 20 seconds.
Check occlusion and adjust if required.
If high occlusal stress exists, apply adhesive before composite placement.
Ortho Bite Composite Step-by-Step – Band Cementation
Clean and isolate enamel surfaces.
Etch with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Roughen inner surface of band for retention.
Apply composite along the internal band perimeter.
Seat band properly.
Remove excess material.
Light cure 40 seconds occlusal and 40 seconds cervical.
Instruct patient to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes.
Clinical Indications
Temporary bite opening
Orthodontic disocclusion
Band cementation
Occlusal stops during orthodontic treatment
