Description
Orthocem FGM Bracket Adhesive – Light-Curing Orthodontic Adhesive Composite
The Orthocem FGM light-curing orthodontic adhesive composite has been developed for reliable and precise bonding of orthodontic brackets and tubes to enamel surfaces. This advanced adhesive allows the clinician to control working time fully through photoactivation, which aids in accurate bracket placement and immediate continuation of orthodontic procedures.
Orthocem delivers a balanced adhesive strength that ensures secure retention throughout treatment and facilitates safe bracket removal at debonding without damaging enamel. Its ideal consistency simplifies bracket seating, while its fluorescent tracer improves visibility during adhesive removal, enhancing both efficiency and patient safety.
Clinical Performance and Key Features
Orthocem FGM Bracket Adhesive is engineered to perform in modern orthodontic workflows. Its formulation provides:
-
Excellent handling for accurate bracket placement
-
Controlled adhesive strength to minimize failures
-
A fluorescent tracer that becomes visible under UV light to facilitate cleanup
-
A consistency that supports efficient clinical application
-
Compatibility with light-curing protocols
These features help achieve predictable results in chair-side bonding procedures.
Clinical Indications
Orthocem FGM Bracket Adhesive is recommended for:
-
Cementation of orthodontic brackets (metal, ceramic, polycarbonate)
-
Bonding of orthodontic tubes on enamel surfaces
-
Light-curing bracket adhesive applications in orthodontic treatment
Application Steps (Image-Ready & Clinically Accurate)
1. Dental Prophylaxis with Pumice Stone prior to Orthodontic Bonding.Clean the enamel surface thoroughly to remove plaque and debris before bonding.
Acid etching creates micro-retention on the enamel surface.
3. Apply Adhesive (Ambar APS) on the vestibular face of the tooth.Ensure even coverage before light curing to enhance adhesion.
4. Apply Resinous Cement (Orthocem) directly on the bracket mesh.Place a sufficient layer of adhesive cement on the bracket base.
5. Press the Bracket onto the Dental Surface.Seat the bracket firmly onto the enamel and remove any excess cement.
6. Upon Disocclusion, Stops Allow Extrusion of Posterior Teeth and Assist in Vertical Control of Treatment.Light cure and check stability before progressing with orthodontic mechanics.
