2. OptraGate ExtraSoft may be inserted from both the 12 o’clock position
with the patient lying down, or from the 8 o’clock position with the
patient sitting upright (or, the 4 o’clock position if the clinician is left-
handed).
3. To ease placement, with the tabs pointing downward, the operator
should grasp the thicker intraoral ring by reaching through the thinner
extraoral ring. The inner ring should be held between the thumb and
middle finger and pressed together slightly (see Figure 2).
Fig 2: Correct hold on the intraoral ring with thumb and middle finger.
The intraoral ring is slightly compressed in the process.
4. The slightly compressed intraoral ring is then inserted into the buccal
corridor on one side, so that the elastic component embraces the corner
of the mouth and the outer ring is still located extraorally (see Figure 3).
Fig 3: The thicker intraoral ring is positioned between the teeth
and the corner of the mouth.
5. As soon as the OptraGate ExtraSoft is securely in place on one side,
the other side is inserted in the same manner by slightly bending it (see
Figure 4).
Fig 4: The intraoral ring is positioned behind the two corners of the mouth.
6. Subsequently, the intraoral ring is placed behind the lower and upper
lips and thus OptraGate ExtraSoft assumes its final, stable position
(see Figure 5). The intraoral ring can be inserted with more ease if the
patient’s mouth is relaxed.
Fig 5: Final positioning behind the lower and upper lip.
If, in individual cases, the intraoral ring should show a tendency to slip out of
the gingivobuccal fold if the mouth is closed completely, positioning of the
intraoral ring deeper inside the vestibule is usually sufficient to solve the
problem. Sometimes, the use of another size may also be a solution.
The securely positioned OptraGate ExtraSoft improves the overall view and
accessibility of the working field. Lateral movements of the mandible and
opening of the mouth to various degrees may provide additional space and
access to the treatment area. OptraGate ExtraSoft may even be left in place
when checking occlusion.
7. To remove OptraGate ExtraSoft, grasp the extraoral ring in the lower area
with the help of a paper towel and lift it slightly so that the intraoral ring
is loosened from the lower gingivobuccal fold (Figure 6). The intraoral
ring can then be easily removed from the upper gingivobuccal fold and
hygienically disposed of using the paper towel.

Notes
–
OptraGate ExtraSoft is not sterile and thus not suitable for use
with oral surgical or implantological procedures.
– OptraGate ExtraSoft is for single use only.
– It cannot be reused. The material is not suitable for sterilization. Cleaning
and disinfecting agents may have a detrimental effect on the material
and lead to undesirable reactions in the patient.
– When used in tooth whitening procedures, care should be taken that no
bleaching material gets caught between OptraGate ExtraSoft and the
oral soft tissues to prevent an irritation of the skin and mucous mem-
brane.
– OptraGate ExtraSoft should be stored at 2-28 °C / 36-82 °F.
– These Instructions for Use are also available at the website of
Ivoclar Vivadent AG (www.ivoclarvivadent.com).
