AccuBond® Indirect Bonding System from Dentsply GAC

November 11, 2008

Bohemia, NY, for Immediate Release

The AccuBond System from GAC takes a new design approach to indirect bonding. A revolutionary tray technology and custom base work together to provide highly accurate bracket placement and strong, reliable bonds. Bonding will be faster and gentler for the patient, a very attractive advantage to new patients, and the need to reposition brackets will be dramatically reduced.

“With AccuBond, a doctor can bond an entire arch in about 20 minutes and have the confidence that each bracket will be in its ideal position as prescribed by that doctor. AccuBond is all about making things easier for the doctors and their staff, and getting it right the first time, every time.” John Piervencenti, Product Manager, Dentsply GAC.

Revolutionary Tray Technology
The revolutionary AccuBond single-tray design is fabricated from a specially formulated polymer that demonstrates high flexibility while maintaining the stability necessary to prevent the bracket position from becoming compromised. These precision trays snap easily into position and seat with only occlusal pressure. With no direct forces applied over the brackets themselves, a major contributor to inaccurate positioning is eliminated. Unlike other systems, AccuBond trays are easily removed and retain their shape over time for consistently precise positioning.

Base Customization and Advanced Bonding
Bracket failures occur in every practice. Most failures result from an incomplete mechanical bond between the bracket base and the tooth. The AccuBond System equips each bracket with a customized base that conforms to the anatomy of each tooth at the laboratory using a proprietary, two-stage process. Bonding the bracket to the enamel can then be accomplished with an extremely thin coating of a uniquely formulated adhesive that light cures easily and more efficiently than conventional adhesives, allowing archwires to be placed immediately.

“Now I have an indirect system that allows me to three-dimensionally, accurately position each bracket with a custom base….individualized for each patients smile.” - Inventor, Dr. Michael Alpern, Port Charlotte, FL.
