Intended Use

The orthodontic adhesive is used to bond dental orthodontic brackets onto a tooth or teeth where a filled, light-cure (light-activated) resin-adhesive is indicated. This type of cure is used when sufficient light exposure is possible due to the low opacity of the bracket or through excessive use of adhesive the adhesive can be directly exposed to light. The orthodontic adhesive can also be used to bond orthodonticbands in place where a filled light-cure resin-adhesive is indicated (sufficient light exposure is possible to cure/harden/polymerize the adhesive). The adhesive can also be used to bond or cement a non-opaque dental restoration (crown, bridge, vencer, inlay,only, etc.) to the tooth when the material of the restoration permits sufficient light through it to cure/harden/polymerize the adhesive. It is not indicated when radiopacity is needed in the adlesive.

Device requires external light source for polymerization; clinician applies adhesive to bracket/restoration base, positions on tooth, and exposes to light to harden. Output is a cured, bonded dental attachment. Benefits include secure fixation of orthodontic hardware and dental restorations. Used in clinical dental settings.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Light-cured, filled resin-based adhesive. Designed for polymerization via external light source. Classified under 21 CFR 872.3750 as a bracket adhesive resin and tooth conditioner.

Indications for Use

Indicated for bonding orthodontic brackets and bands to teeth, and cementing non-opaque dental restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, onlays) where light-cured resin is appropriate and sufficient light transmission is possible. Not indicated when radiopacity is required.
