The patient bites on the stick, and the force pushes the band down onto the tooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the patient's own biting force gives an even seating pressure and is comfortable, because the load is spread across the occlusal surface instead of coming from one point. It also leaves your hands free to hold the band in position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high heat construction is made to withstand repeated autoclave cycles, so it can be sterilized between patients without losing its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSeating Bands Well\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well seated band starts with the right fit. Try the band on, press it down with the pusher or bite stick until it sits at the correct height on the crown, and check that it clears the opposing tooth in occlusion before it is cemented. Excess cement should be cleaned from the margins before it sets, because it traps plaque and irritates the gingiva.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the instrument tip clean between bands. Cement or resin on a pusher makes it slip and can scratch the band surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep a spare pusher or bite stick available for the day, because instruments are sterilized between patients and a banding appointment can use several bands in one visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt to withstand repeated autoclaving. Clean it after each patient, dry it fully, and replace it if the biting surface becomes cracked or worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeats bands using the patient's own biting force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt to withstand repeated autoclaving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable for the patient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven seating pressure across the band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves your hands free to guide the band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable between patients after sterilization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751017447738,"sku":"RT819","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/High-Heat-Bite-Stick.webp?v=1792584706","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-high-heat-bite-stick-rt819","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
