The Stela breakthrough technology is the result of a partnership between SDI scientists and engineers from three leading Australian universities; the University of New South Wales, the University of Sydney, and the University of Wollongong. Stela is not just a composite \u2013 it is a complete end-to-end system that is formulated to deliver stronger and more efficient restorations.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Stela is available in both capsule and syringe systems, both used in conjunction with Stela Primer. The universal shade offers a chameleon effect that balances translucency and opacity. This superior effect blends in with surrounding tooth structures to produce a flawless finish and aesthetic results. Stela is indicated for a wide range of clinical uses, including Class I, II, III and V restorations, base or liner, core buildups, and sealing endodontic access cavities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

This additive has been shown to contribute to the yellowing of restorations over time.1,2<\/sup>\u00a0With Stela, clinicians can rest assured knowing their restorations have improved long term colour stability.<\/p>\n Stela is available in one universal shade, developed with chameleon effect to mimic the shade of the surrounding teeth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”168442″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Images courtesy of Prof Dr Rocio Lazo<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1685767210832{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text] STELA BONDING INTERFACE (SELF ETCH) [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Stela features innovative technology that enables a gap-free interface. When light curing a composite, polymerisation begins in the area closest to the light source with the resulting polymerisation shrinkage pulling the restorative away from the cavity walls, creating micro gaps.3,4,5<\/sup>\u00a0Stela does not require light curing, and Stela Primer contains a catalyst that initiates the curing process at the restoration interface. This polymerisation sequence mitigates stress to enable a gap-free interface, reducing post operative sensitivity and the risk of premature failure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1685767210832{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Stela Primer also contains 10-MPD and has been shown to provide superior bond strength compared to other leading adhesive\/composite combinations.<\/p>\n In addition, Stela contains fluoride, calcium, and strontium, and is BPA and HEMA free. And Stela offers a radiopacity of 308% Aluminum for easy diagnosis.<\/p>\n Stela is the ideal option for clinicians who are seeking a strong and reliable high-performance restorative, that is simple, fast and does not compromise aesthetics. Stela\u2019s gap-free interface and simplified process reduces sensitivity and increases longevity, resulting in loyal patients and confident dentists.<\/p>\n Stela is an Australian innovation, developed and manufactured in Australia by SDI Limited.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”33694″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Microtensile bond strength results [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”quote-row2″ css=”.vc_custom_1685768457413{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33840″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/5″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”33843″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]First and second lower molars with defective composite restorations[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/5″][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_single_image image=”33846″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Caries removed and large Class I cavities prepared[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33845″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Application of calcium hydroxide to protect the deepest area of one cavity, followed by application of Stela Primer[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33846″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Restoration complete[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#0a0a0a”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33626″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”4\/5″][vc_column_text]“Moving away from incremental techniques using a chemically cured bulk composite allows us to work faster and with a highly reproducible and safer process.”<\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n PhD in Medical Science, Research associate at the University of San Martin de Porres – Lima – Peru<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33621″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Step 1:<\/strong> Molar with decay[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33622″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Step 2:<\/strong> After caries removal and isolation with rubber dam[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33623″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Step 3:<\/strong> Application of Stela Primer[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33624″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Step 4:<\/strong> Restoration completed[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#0a0a0a”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”33632″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”4\/5″][vc_column_text]“I used Stela with different protocols, including directly, without pulp protection and it did not cause sensitivity.
