Introducing Stela

We are excited to introduce you to Stela, the next generation self-cured composite. SDI will launch Stela in the coming months. As a key clinician, SDI is inviting you to clinically use Stela in case studies and to provide your feedback, so SDI can continue to refine and create better products.

Stela is a true alternative to amalgam

Stela is an easy-to-use bulk fill radiopaque self-cure restorative system. Stela is the complete end-to-end restorative system that provides you easier and stronger restorations. This ensures excellent performance every time.

Your choice of dispensing system

Stela offers you a choice of two dispensing systems:

1. Capsule (single dose), for a more viscous paste
2. Automix syringe (multiple doses) for extra flow, and bendable tips for accurate placement

Stela Primer is compatible with both capsule and automix syringe.

How strong is Stela?

Stela offers a flexural and compressive strength combination that is the envy of other composites.

How strong is the Primer bond?

External studies^{^} confirm that the bond strength of Stela primer exceeds Scotchbond^™ Universal^* in both standard and bulk fill applications.

What are the indications?

Stela can be used on direct classes I, II, III and V cavities; base or liner; and core build-ups.

We are seeking your help to create clinical case studies using Stela. We would also like to hear your feedback on Stela. Below are the details.
