3M Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive Refill, 712-104, Capsules, 0.2g, 25/Pk

Description:

3M Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive Refill, 712-104, is a light-cure orthodontic adhesive supplied in convenient pre-measured capsule format for use during direct bonding procedures. Each package contains 25 capsules, with each capsule providing 0.2 g of adhesive. The refill format is designed to provide orthodontic professionals with a practical supply of material for routine bonding of brackets and other compatible orthodontic appliances. A key feature of Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive is its color-changing technology, which provides enhanced visual contrast during the bonding procedure. The adhesive can be readily identified during bracket placement, allowing the clinician to monitor the material and identify excess adhesive around the bracket. This visibility can help simplify cleanup of excess material, often referred to as flash, before the adhesive is light cured. The color change after curing provides an additional visual indication that supports an organized bonding workflow. The capsule format provides a pre-measured 0.2 g quantity of adhesive, helping simplify material preparation and dispensing. Individual portions can help reduce unnecessary handling of bulk material and provide a consistent quantity for clinical use. When used with the appropriate dispensing equipment, the capsules can support controlled adhesive delivery directly to the intended bonding area. The 25-capsule package is suitable for orthodontic practices and dental clinics that regularly perform bracket bonding procedures. As a refill package, it can help practices maintain an available supply of adhesive capsules without requiring the purchase of a complete dispensing system. The compact packaging can also support convenient storage and inventory management. Successful orthodontic bonding depends on proper tooth preparation and use of a compatible bonding protocol. Depending on the clinical technique, the procedure may include cleaning the tooth surface, etching or self-etching, applying a compatible primer, dispensing the adhesive, positioning the bracket, removing excess adhesive, and light curing. Dental professionals should follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure and use compatible materials and curing equipment. The adhesive should be handled and used only by qualified dental professionals according to the manufacturer's instructions for use. Recommended storage conditions, handling precautions, application procedures, curing requirements, and infection-control practices should be followed. Overall, 3M Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive Refill, 712-104, provides 25 individually portioned 0.2 g capsules of light-cure orthodontic adhesive. Its color-change feature supports improved visibility during bracket placement and excess adhesive cleanup, while the pre-measured capsule format offers convenient material handling, controlled dispensing, and efficient chairside workflow for compatible orthodontic bonding procedures.
