Shofu AZ Primer

• 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.

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.

• 1 x 5ml Bottle

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.

Notes :

• Do not mix with any other primers or bonding systems.
• Tightly close the cap after each use as this product contains volatile components. Use all the dispensed material promptly.
• Use a saliva ejector or suction during the procedure.
• Avoid contamination of the restoration surface to be bonded. If the surface is contaminated by saliva or blood, thoroughly clean the surface with an alcohol moistened cotton ball. Then, dry and reapply the material.
• Use all the dispensed material promptly on one patient.
• Do not reuse disposable brushes to avoid cross-contamination.

Question: What is Shofu AZ primer?
Answer: Shofu AZ primer is a dental bonding agent used for adhesion between the tooth structure and restorative materials such as composites, ceramics, and metal alloys.

Question: What are the ingredients in Shofu AZ primer?
Answer: The main ingredients in the Shofu AZ primer are 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) and 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitic acid anhydride (4-META).

Question: What are the benefits of using Shofu AZ primer?
Answer: Shofu AZ primer provides excellent adhesion to a wide range of restorative materials, high bond strength, and good marginal sealing. It is also easy to use and has a relatively short application time.

Question: How is Shofu AZ primer applied?
Answer: Shofu AZ primer is applied in a single step using a brush or an applicator tip. The tooth surface is first cleaned and dried, then the primer is applied and left to react for a few seconds before the restorative material is placed.

Question: How long does Shofu AZ primer take to set?
Answer: Shofu AZ primer sets in approximately 20 seconds after application.

Question: Can Shofu AZ primer be used with any type of restorative material?
Answer: Shofu AZ primer is compatible with a wide range of restorative materials including composites, ceramics, and metal alloys.
