3M Transbond LR Capsules, 712-038, 0.2 g, 25/Box

Description:

3M Transbond LR Capsules, 712-038, are pre-measured capsules of orthodontic adhesive designed for bonding lingual retainers and other compatible orthodontic appliances. Each box contains 25 individual capsules, with each capsule containing 0.2 g of adhesive. The pre-portioned capsule format provides a convenient method for handling and dispensing material during orthodontic procedures where controlled adhesive placement is important. Lingual retainers are commonly bonded to the inner surfaces of teeth and require careful adhesive application to help maintain accurate placement and a smooth clinical workflow. The Transbond LR adhesive system is designed for these types of orthodontic bonding procedures and provides a practical material format for clinicians. The individual capsules allow the required amount of adhesive to be prepared for treatment without handling a larger bulk quantity. The 0.2 g pre-measured portions can help simplify chairside organization and support more consistent material management. Individual capsules may also help reduce unnecessary exposure of unused material, as only the amount needed for a particular procedure can be prepared. This makes the capsule format suitable for orthodontic practices that prefer convenient, individually portioned materials. As a light-cure orthodontic adhesive, Transbond LR allows the clinician to position the lingual retainer or compatible appliance before activating the material with an appropriate dental curing light. This provides time for accurate placement and adjustment before curing. Once the appliance is correctly positioned, the adhesive can be light cured according to the manufacturer's recommended procedure. Proper tooth preparation and adherence to the complete bonding protocol are important for achieving consistent clinical results. Depending on the procedure and compatible materials used, the bonding process may include cleaning the tooth surfaces, etching, applying a suitable primer where required, placing the adhesive, positioning the retainer, and light curing. Dental professionals should follow the manufacturer's instructions for each material and procedure. The box of 25 capsules provides a practical quantity for orthodontic clinics that regularly perform fixed lingual retainer procedures. The compact capsule format can support convenient storage and help maintain an organized inventory of bonding materials. Overall, 3M Transbond LR Capsules, 712-038, provide 25 individually portioned 0.2 g capsules of orthodontic adhesive for lingual retainer and compatible appliance bonding procedures. The convenient capsule format supports controlled material handling, accurate adhesive placement, efficient chairside preparation, and an organized orthodontic bonding workflow when used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
