Our adhesives for your dental practice.
The range of adhesives from Dentaurum gives users a wide
selection for all bonding tasks in the orthodontic practice.
The light-curing adhesives CONTEC lc and CONTEC lcr have been
especially designed for bonding fixed orthodontic appliances –
CONTEC lc is for fixing metal, ceramic and plastic brackets and
buccal tubes, CONTEC lcr is for fixing orthodontic retainers using
adhesive. Both adhesives have a very high bond strength.
CONTEC lc contains no BisGMA (Bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate),
TEGDMA (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate) and HEMA
(hydroxyethyl methacrylate). CONTEC lcr is free of TEGDMA and
HEMA. The adhesives are therefore also suitable for patients with
an allergy to methacrylates.
An alternative to the light-curing adhesive CONTEC lc is the
chemically-curing bracket adhesive ConTec Go!. This is easy to
handle, requires little time to process and has a high bond
strength.
We recommend SmartBond®, the well-known, trusted wet-
bonding adhesive, particularly for areas that are difficult to keep
dry, e.g. displaced cuspids.
