3M Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive, 712-101, Syringe, 4 g, 2/Kit

Description:

3M Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive, 712-101, is a direct-bond, light-cure orthodontic adhesive designed for bonding metal and ceramic orthodontic brackets. The package contains two syringes, each holding 4 g of adhesive, providing a convenient delivery format for orthodontic practices and dental professionals performing routine bracket bonding procedures. A key feature of Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive is its color-changing formulation. The colored adhesive is designed to improve visibility during bracket positioning and help clinicians identify and remove excess adhesive, or flash, before curing. After the adhesive is light cured, the color fades away, providing a visual transition that can support an organized bonding workflow. The adhesive is also formulated to provide moisture tolerance, which can be valuable during orthodontic bonding when maintaining a completely dry field is challenging. Solventum describes the system as suitable for use with moisture-tolerant primers such as Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer and Transbond MIP Primer. This feature can help support bonding confidence in clinical conditions where moisture control may be difficult. The syringe delivery system provides convenient, on-demand dispensing and allows the clinician to apply the required amount of adhesive directly to the bracket or designated bonding surface. Compared with bulk material handling, syringe delivery can help support controlled application and efficient chairside preparation. The manufacturer also offers the adhesive in capsule formats, allowing practices to choose the delivery method that best fits their workflow. Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive is designed to provide reliable bonding performance, with the manufacturer reporting bond strength comparable to Transbond XT Light Cure Adhesive. It is intended for orthodontic appliance application and bonding as part of a professional orthodontic treatment procedure. Dental professionals should follow the manufacturer's instructions for tooth preparation, primer selection, adhesive placement, bracket positioning, curing, storage, and handling. Appropriate moisture control and clinical safety procedures should also be maintained throughout the bonding process. Overall, 3M Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive, 712-101, provides two 4 g syringes of light-cure orthodontic adhesive with color-change visibility and moisture-tolerant performance. Its syringe format supports convenient dispensing, while the color-changing feature helps facilitate bracket positioning and flash cleanup during orthodontic bonding procedures.
