O-BITE
One of the hardest materials for bite registration, based on A-silicone.
Advantages:
Excellent fracture resistance
Stability and absence of deformation when transferring to models
Fresh, fruity orange aroma
Minimal chewing resistance
Fast-setting
Highest final hardness
O-Bite, with a Shore A hardness of 93.3, is the hardest bite registration material based on A-silicone. The high final hardness of the material is particularly important when transferring bite registration to models in the articulator to ensure a perfect fit of the restorations.
Softer silicones flex or compress, making precise articulation impossible. This can lead to unwanted occlusal elevation, which requires time-consuming grinding. Direct placement of an oversized restoration can cause significant discomfort in the temporomandibular joint.
Excellent fracture resistance
Thanks to the vinyl silicone matrix developed by DMG, O-Bite has excellent fracture resistance. The bonding structure of the A-silicone-based material is achieved by silicone chains of uniform length, which contribute to the exceptional stability of the bonding structure during curing. When working with the material, this property guarantees high fracture resistance during model removal, cutting and insertion.
