O-Bite is DMG UK's orange scented A-Silicone bite registration material.

The most frequent cause of ill-fitting indirect restorations is an inadequate bite registration. Putting this right requires either a time-consuming adjustment or, in some cases, the dentist has to start the procedure afresh, neither action being satisfactory either for the patient or dentist.

O-Bite is DMG UK's precision bite registration material with the scent of fresh oranges. Using an innovative vinyl silicone matrix especially developed by DMG, it has optimal properties for this critical, yet frequently neglected aspect of good restorative practice. With minimal bite resistance to facilitate correct occlusion, it is dimensionally stable and extremely hard when cured, with a hardness of Shore-A 93. It is easy to trim, and the occlusal information recorded is clear and easy to read. It also has a high fracture resistance, eliminating the possibility of it snapping during transportation. With a short setting time to minimise surgery time and maximise patient comfort, O-Bite guarantees perfectly fitting restorations. O-Bite can easily be trimmed and finished using a scalpel or silicone cutter.
