Frequently asked questions
What is RIBBOND™ used for in clinical settings?
RIBBOND™ is a dental adhesive specifically designed to bond orthodontic brackets securely to teeth. It creates a strong mechanical attachment, ensuring the brackets remain stable throughout orthodontic treatment. This helps maintain proper alignment and treatment progression.
Is RIBBOND™ intended for reuse or single-use in a dental office?
RIBBOND™ is supplied as a liquid adhesive for single-use applications only. Since it is not sterile as packaged, it must be used under aseptic conditions in clinical settings, meaning each application requires a fresh dose from the container.
How should RIBBOND™ be stored, and are there any special handling requirements?
While the exact storage conditions aren’t detailed, RIBBOND™ is a liquid adhesive intended for clinical use under aseptic conditions. It should be stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions (likely at room temperature, protected from contamination) to maintain its effectiveness. Since it’s not sterile as packaged, proper hygiene protocols must be followed when handling.
What regulatory pathways does RIBBOND™ follow, and how is its equivalence classified?
RIBBOND™ is regulated under the FDA 510(k) clearance process (with clearance number K913040) and also conforms to the Medical Device Directive (MDD). The FDA classified it as substantially equivalent to a predicate device, meaning its safety and performance were determined to be comparable to an existing orthodontic adhesive.
