Ivoclar Heliosit Orthodontic(Set Of 3)

• Flexural strength: 80 MPa
• Bond strength of brackets on etched enamel:ceramic: 10 MPa, metal: 12 MPa
• Store at 2–28 °C / 36–82 °F

• 3 x 2.5gm Syringes

• Step 1.

Clean enamel surface thoroughly.

• Step 2.

Isolate with cotton rolls and blown air.

• Step 3.

Etch enamel surfaces (e.g. with Total Etch for 30 to 60 seconds). Heavily fluoridated enamel may have to be etched longer.

Note: The etched enamel surfaces should be of a white chalky appearance. If this is not the case (e.g. because of contamination with saliva), etch again for another 30 seconds.

• Step 4.

Rinse and dry the etched enamel surfaces thoroughly.

• Step 5.

Apply Heliosit Orthodontic to the undersurface of the metal bracket cleaned according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

Note: Prepare ceramic brackets according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

• Step 6.

Position the bracket on the tooth surfaces. Cure with a halogen light (e.g. Astralis) from the cervical for 20 seconds to fix the bracket in place. For complete polymerization, cure for another 20 seconds from the incisal. After the second polymerization phase, the bond strength of the material is high enough to allow the removal of excess and the exertion of immediate stress required for correcting the positioning of teeth.
