Application (Step-by-Step Guide)

I. Tooth Preparation

1. Prophylaxis: Thoroughly clean the enamel surface with an oil-free pumice and water slurry to meticulously remove all plaque, debris, and superficial stains. Rinse the treated area comprehensively.

2. Rinsing: Rinse the tooth surfaces thoroughly with a strong, sustained stream of water for a minimum of 15-20 seconds to ensure the complete removal of all pumice residue.

3. Isolation: Achieve absolute dryness throughout the entire bonding procedure by meticulously isolating the tooth/teeth. Utilize appropriate isolation techniques such as cotton rolls, a dry field system, or a rubber dam.

II. Etching with Carbonado Etch

1. Application of Etchant: Apply a thin, uniform layer of Carbonado Etch exclusively to the enamel surface where the bracket will be bonded. Ensure the entire intended bonding area is completely covered.

2. Etching Time: Allow the etchant to remain on the enamel for 15-20 seconds. For deciduous (primary) teeth, an extended etching time of up to 30 seconds may be beneficial.

3. Rinsing Etchant: Thoroughly rinse the etched enamel surface with a strong water spray for a minimum of 20 seconds to ensure the complete removal of all etchant traces. Residual etchant can negatively impact bond strength.

4. Drying Etched Surface: Gently air dry the etched enamel surface using oil-free, moisture-free air until a distinct frosty white (chalky) appearance is evident. If this characteristic frosty appearance is not achieved, re-etch the surface for an additional 10 seconds.

5. Re-isolation & Re-etching (if contaminated): Should the etched surface become contaminated with saliva, promptly re-isolate the area, then re-etch for 5 seconds, and thoroughly dry again.

III. Bonding with Carbonado Bond

1. Application of Bond: Apply a thin, even layer of Carbonado Bond (Light-Cure Adhesive) to the etched and thoroughly dried enamel surface using a clean, disposable brush. Take care to avoid any pooling of the adhesive.

2. Light Curing Carbonado Bond: Light cure the applied Carbonado Bond layer for 10 seconds using a conventional dental curing light (halogen or LED). Position the light tip as close as possible to the tooth surface for optimal polymerization.

IV. Bracket Placement with Carbonado Ortho Bond Composite

1. Application of Carbonado Ortho Bond: Apply a thin, uniform layer of Carbonado Ortho Bond Composite to the mesh base of the orthodontic bracket. Avoid overfilling to prevent excessive flash.

2. Bracket Placement: Carefully and precisely place the bracket onto the prepared tooth surface, ensuring accurate positioning relative to anatomical landmarks.

3. Removal of Excess Composite: Using a suitable instrument (e.g., an explorer or scaler), meticulously remove any excess composite material that extrudes from around the bracket base. Verify that no composite obscures the bracket slots or ties.

4. Light Curing Carbonado Ortho Bond: Light cure each distinct side of the bracket (mesial, distal, occlusal/incisal, and gingival) for 10 seconds per side using a dental curing light to ensure complete and thorough polymerization. For ceramic brackets, a slightly extended curing time (e.g., 20 seconds per side) may be advisable due to their inherent opacity.

5. Final Check: Conduct a final comprehensive check to confirm that all brackets are securely bonded and that all excess material has been completely removed.

Storage

• Store Carbonado Ortho Bond, Carbonado Etch, and Carbonado Bond in a cool, dark environment, protected from direct sunlight and heat sources.
