Shofu AZ Primer

AZ Primer is a priming agent designed to treat the surfaces of alumina-based or zirconia-based restorations to enhance bond to resin materials. AZ Primer can be used intraorally and extraorally. A unique innovation specifically created to provide a stable and dependable bond with all-ceramic zirconia and alumina restorations. The novel 6-MPHA monomers in Shofu AZ Primer secure permanent anchorage to the all ceramic bonding surface and ensure long-term clinical success. The 6-MHPA monomer, specially adapted for high-performance porcelains, anchors itself permanently to the restoration and thus is superior to other bonding systems, especially “all-in-one” products. The primer can be applied intraorally and always ensures excellent bond strengths when used in combination with the light-cured opaque pastes of the SHOFU Universal Opaque system.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

• Bonding resin to alumina or zirconia restorations
• Cementation of restoration with adhesive resin cement
• Repair of fractured restorations using composite resin

Features:-

• The novel 6-MPHA monomer in AZ Primer secures permanent anchorage to the all-ceramic bonding surface and ensures long-term clinical success.
• Strong bond without the need for retention beads
• For all dental alloys and zirconia-based frameworks
• For intraoral and extraoral use
• Easy and quick handling without any additional equipment
• It is the universally reliable solution for bonding to CAD/CAM frameworks.

Key Speccification:-

COMPOSITION :

• Acetone
• Phosphonic acid monomer
• Thioctic acid monomer

STORAGE :

• Store at room temperature (1-30 °C/34-86 °F). Keep away from direct sunlight and any source of ignition.

Direction to use:-

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Pretreatment of the restoration surface
• Extraoral use
• Sandblast the adhesive surface of zirconia-based or alumina-based restoration with 50-100 μm aluminum oxide at approx. 0.2-0.3 MPa/2-3 bar. Then, perform ultrasonic cleaning and dry with clean air. Sandblast can be replaced by roughing the surface with a suitable abrasive (eg. diamond bur etc).
• Intraoral use
• Place rubber dam and avoid direct contact with oral tissue. Roughen the adhesive surface by using a dental abrasive (eg. diamond bur etc), rinse with water, and dry with clean air.
• Application of AZ Primer
• Dispense an adequate amount of AZ Primer on a dish. Apply to the entire adhesive surface in one layer with a disposable brush. Leave it undisturbed for 10 sec. and dry naturally.
• Bonding to the resin material
• Bond resin material according to the instructions for the use of each product.

Packaging:-

• 1 x 5ml Bottle
