Chemically cured adhesives - Special applications
Excel
Fluorine-releasing special adhesive.
Excel is a highly filled adhesive that provides maximum bond strength through a thin layer of the adhesive. The substance mechanically bonds strongly to the bases of all types of metal brackets; chemical bonding to plastic can be achieved by using Plastic Appliance Conditioner.
Excel Standard Paste (Regular) has a thin consistency to allow easy application to the base of the bracket or pad. The paste, due to its thin consistency, does not impede the fit of the brackets, and its excess is easy to remove.
Excel Regular sets available: in jars (ERJF), in screw syringes (ERSF)
Resin is recommended – Post-etch resin is not necessary due to the moisture content of Excel. Excel bonds directly to etched enamel. However, Excel Self Curing Bonding Resin provides an additional source of fluoride and increases the bond strength to the etched enamel surface by 10%.
Extended working time – Indirect bonding of brackets, bonding of acrylic appliances and palatal expanders (RPE) require additional time that is not possible with conventional composite systems and no-mix adhesives.
Excel Regular provides the user with ample time (3 minutes) to mix the material, apply to the bonding surface, place in the patient’s mouth and remove excess adhesive.
All of this can be done at room temperature by mixing equal amounts of ingredients on paper or a glass plate.
There is no need to use a cooling plate.
