Stela is an innovative high-performance self-cure composite.
Stela offers an unlimited depth of cure and low-stress
polymerization 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, optimized ionglass™
fillers (SDI’s bioactive proprietary hybrid glass), and specially
surface-modified nanoparticles of 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 color stability
and an excellent conversion rate.
Once cured, Stela’s matrix delivers consistent and reliable strength
and durability for all restorations. The simple two step process
minimizes operator errors and patient sensitivity with no etch
or curing lights required. Stela is the solution for all your
clinical needs.
Stela is available in two delivery systems:
Stela Capsule and Stela Automix syringe.
