To make orthodontic bonding of bands and appliances easier and quicker, a new addition to the range of GC Fuji ORTHO resin-modified glass ionomer cements has been introduced.
GC Fuji Ortho Band is an orthodontic cement made available as a paste in the special Paste Pak cartridge. The unique Paste Pak Dispenser allows for a faster and more accurate dispensing system, which minimises cement waste.
Optimal handling is guaranteed by a film thickness of 3μm, a working time of 3 minutes 30 seconds and a setting time of 3 minutes. The final colour of the paste is blue which makes identification of residual cement after de-bonding much easier and quicker.
Further features include no acid etching and problem-free removal without damage to enamel.
