Clinical Overview
Orthocem Rastreador is a light-curing, fluorescent orthodontic adhesive in a single-syringe system that combines primer and resin. Condac 37% is a blue-pigmented phosphoric acid etchant formulated for effective enamel/dentin conditioning. This kit optimizes bracket bonding workflow by reducing clinical steps and facilitating adhesive detection and removal under UV light.
Key Benefits
- UV tracer adhesive: Facilitates visualization and removal of residual cement under ultraviolet light.
- Primer-adhesive combined: Single-step application without separate primer, saving chair time.
- Ideal viscosity: Precise bracket placement with minimal slippage.
- Balanced adhesion strength: Secure bracket retention yet facilitates easy removal at treatment end.
- Blue-pigmented etchant: High visibility during enamel conditioning; thixotropic, water-soluble and non-runny.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 4 g syringe of Orthocem Rastreador adhesive (UV-tracer, primer-resin integrated)
- 1 × 2.5 mL syringe of Condac 37% phosphoric acid etchant (blue-pigmented, thixotropic)
- Applicator/bonding tip(s) as supplied
Working & Setting Times
- Etching time: Apply Condac 37% gel to enamel/dentin for 15–20 seconds.
- Adhesive application: Orthocem dispensed and bracket placed; light-cure to set adhesive immediately.
Indications
- Bonding of orthodontic brackets and tubes made of metal, ceramic or polycarbonate to enamel.
- Use where procedural efficiency and adhesive traceability are priorities.
Instructions for Use
- Perform dental prophylaxis (pumice) and rinse; dry enamel thoroughly.
- Apply Condac 37% etchant gel to enamel for ~15–20 s; rinse with water and air-dry.
- Dispense Orthocem adhesive directly to bracket mesh; no separate primer needed.
- Position and seat bracket accurately; remove excess adhesive as needed.
- Light-polymerize adhesive per manufacturer’s instructions (e.g. LED cure 10–20 s).
- Verify bracket placement and clean any excess; repeat as necessary for full arch.
Summary
