STELA PRIMER
High-performance self-cure composite. Stela offers an unlimited depth of cure and low-stress polymerisation with a gap-free interface. There is no need to acid etch or light cure.
Stela achieves its ground-breaking properties through a tailored combination of BPA-free resin monomers, optimised ionglass™ fillers (SDI’s bioactive proprietary hybrid glass), and specially surface-modified amorphous silica. Stela’s outstanding mechanical properties come from a rapid curing reaction. The Stela monomers form polymeric chains and, simultaneously, these chains are rapidly and densely cross-linked to each other, forming a complex web that strongly binds the ionglass™ filler and the amorphous silica, resulting in a strong and resilient restorative material. The Stela snap set fast cure is due to an innovative hydroperoxide-based initiation system that is free of tertiary amine. This ensures fast-setting characteristics, good colour stability and an excellent conversion rate. Once cured, Stela’s matrix delivers consistent and reliable strength and durability for all restorations.
Advantages:
- Stela self cures to an unlimited depth: This gives you full cure certainty for all restorations.
- No interface gaps: Stela polymerisation is accelerated along the restoration interface. This provides a gap-free interface, reducing post-operative sensitivity and the risk of premature failure.
- Chameleon aesthetics.
- High strength: combined compressive (328 MPa) and flexural (143 MPa) strength resulting from the initiator system which initiates instantaneous rapid cure to convert monomers into polymer chains.
- Low polymerisation stress
- Restoration in 2 steps: 15 seconds of preparation in just two steps.
- Both Stela Primer and Stela composite have the MDP monomer, ensuring a strong chemical bond, free of gaps, with better sealing for durability and no sensitivity.
- Stela is available in two delivery systems: Stela Capsule and Stela Automix syringe.
Ideal for a wide range of clinical indications:
- Classes I, II, III and V
- Build-up technology
- Amalgam alternative
- Sealing of endodontic access cavities
