Orthocem – Light-Curing Orthodontic Cement by FGM

Orthocem is a light-curing, fluoride-releasing orthodontic cement designed for bonding metal and ceramic brackets to enamel. Its optimized viscosity ensures easy bracket placement and prevents excessive flow, simplifying the bonding process.

Key Features:

✔ Fluoride Release: Helps protect against enamel demineralization and white spot lesions.
✔ Light-Curing: Provides controlled working time, allowing for precise bracket positioning before curing.
✔ High Bond Strength: Ensures strong adhesion to enamel, preventing bracket detachment during treatment.
✔ Optimized Viscosity: Prevents excess material flow, making placement and cleanup easier.
✔ Easy Removal: Designed for efficient debonding without enamel damage.

Indications:

• Bonding metal and ceramic brackets to enamel.
• Suitable for both upper and lower arch bonding.

Application Steps:

• Etching: Apply 37% phosphoric acid (e.g., Condac 37 by FGM) to enamel for 15 seconds, then rinse and dry.
• Adhesive Application: Apply Ambar APS Bond (or another light-curing adhesive) and light-cure for 10 seconds.
• Cement Application: Place Orthocem on the bracket base and position it on the tooth.
• Light-Curing: Cure for 20 seconds per bracket using a light-curing device.
• Final Adjustments: Remove any excess material and proceed with archwire placement.

Packaging: Orthocem is available in a 4g syringe, ensuring easy and precise application.
