Stela is indicated for use in class I, II, III and V restorations.
The Stela initiator system starts a snap set fast cure to convert monomers into polymer chains. Simultaneously, these chains become rapidly and densely cross-linked to each other, forming a complex network. This network reliably binds fillers. The results; impressive mechanical properties.
Stela boasts a high compressive strength that protects teeth against strong occlusal forces, and a high flexural strength that reduces the likelihood of failures due to major stresses. The strength of a restorative should always be judged on its combination of compressive and flexural properties, and Stela has the perfect balance of both, outperforming most other composite products.
15 Seconds preparation: restore in 2 steps
Stela is applied in a simplified two-step process; primer, then composite.
Stela is available in one universal shade, developed with chameleon effect to mimic the shade of the surrounding teeth.
ALTERNATIVE TO AMALGAM:
Restoratives harden over time until they reach their final strength. Stela is formulated to reach a high strength as quickly as possible, allowing finishing and polishing in just
4 minutes. After this initial set, Stela becomes a strong composite that easily exceeds the properties of alternatives.
While amalgam achieves only 37% of its final strength in 60 minutes, Stela achieves 90% strength in the same 60 minute period.
Stela’s snapset strength reduces premature failures during the critical first 24 hour period, decreasing patient returns and re-work.
Stela also offers great value. One capsule of Stela has more volume than a 3-spill amalgam capsule, which is enough for large restorations.
