Zenith Dental, exclusive US and Canadian distributors of quality DMG restorative products, introduces new O-Bite VPS Bite Registration Material. This new formulation offers optimal advantages for the clinician and patient. The 50 ml Automix cartridges are dispensed with the type 50 1:1 Automix dispensing gun, guaranteeing a consistent mix every time. The dentist will appreciate the ample working time, while the patient will appreciate how fast the material sets.

O-Bite vinylpolysiloxane material tested to be one of the hardest VPS bite registration materials on the market. It measured a shore-A hardness of greater than 93. Its superior hardness insures against breakage when removed from the mouth, or when trimmed and transported to the dental lab. Its stability is also a benefit to the lab when mounted on models, ensuring predictability and confidence for both the clinician and the lab technician.

The nature of a VPS material is to offer enough flexibility to prevent the material from locking into undercuts while maintaining dimensional stability. O-Bite meets and exceeds those criteria. O-Bite can be easily trimmed with a scalpel, and the bite impressions can be disinfected.

The non-slumping, controllable flow of O-Bite allows precise placement resulting in bite registrations that reflect the accurate occlusal relationship of the teeth to each other. O-Bite is bright orange in color aiding in good visual evaluation of the bite registration, plus it has a fresh fruity orange aroma. O-Bite is available in 50 ml cartridge 4 pack refills through the dental supply dealer.

Now there are two choices of bite registration materials from Zenith and DMG. New O-Bite and LuxaBite, bisacryl bite registration material for registrations that require a non-flexible, rock hard, totally predictable imprint.
