Main description
Ultra Band-Lok® is intended for use as an orthodontic band cement and for occlusal buildup.
! Note: Ultra Band-Lok® is also available in Blue Shade which will contrast the enamel and facilitate
removal of material before and after treatment.
Ultra-Band Lok® is a Single Paste Compomer Band Cement, Containing Fluoride. Single paste system means no wasteful mixing, while light activation offers no time constraints. Available in Natural or Blue Shade.
INITIAL USAGE
1. With 1st & Final®, thoroughly prophy the teeth to be banded. Rinse, dry and isolate.
Acid etching of the enamel is not required for cementing bands, however it will
increase strength required for high stress banded appliances such as headgear, lip
bumpers and banded Rapid Palate Expanders.
2. With a microetcher or carbide bur, roughen the inside of the band(s) if this has not
been performed by the manufacturer.
3. While holding the band between the thumb and forefinger, apply a bead of Ultra
Band-Lok® to the inside of the band. Using a small spatula or similar instrument,
cover the entire inside of the band with paste. Do not fill the band with paste, as this
is not necessary and wasteful.
Alternative usage
If using the Luer-Loc syringes:
a) Unscrew and remove the black storage cap from the tip of the syringe.
b) Snap the needle tip in place and twist clockwise until the needle is locked in
position.
c) When the procedure is completed, remove the needle tip and replace the black
storage cap to keep the Ultra Band-Lok® protected from light.
d) SPECIAL SAFETY NOTE REGARDING SAFETY RISK TO PATIENT: LUER
LOK TIPS ARE SINGLE USE DEVICES. A NEW TIP IS REQUIRED FOR
EVERY PATIENT TO AVOID CONTAMINATION RISK.
Do not run the risk of under etching.
