DMG Luxatemp Solar Mode D'emploi page 3

Recommended use
1. Before preparing the crown or bridge or prior to extraction of a tooth, take an impression
using alginate, silicone or a thermoplastic impression material.
Alternatively, the temporary can be made using a laboratory-fabricated vacuum-formed stent
or, in the case of single crowns, with a strip crown. Adhere precisely to the relevant manufac-
turer's instructions!
Note: In a silicone impression, undercuts should be compensated for and, if necessary, relief
channels should be cut. To create a connection with the abutment teeth in the case of a gap
in the molar region, cut a groove into the casting.
1. Dry the prepared teeth and compensate for any undercuts present in the preparation. Then
lightly lubricate the cores and surrounding tissue plus any composite core build-ups using
petroleum jelly or a similar separating medium.
2. Insert the Luxatemp Solar cartridge into the Automix Dispenser (see "Using the Automix
Cartridge").
Note: To avoid bubbles, it is important that the end of the mixing tip always remains
immersed in the material during application.
3. Dispense Luxatemp Solar into the impression or vacuum-formed stent. Then dispense the
material onto the occlusal surfaces of the impression or vacuum-formed stent and fill up to
the gingival areas, only overbuilding slightly.
4. Place the impression or vacuum-formed stent filled with Luxatemp Solar on the prepared
teeth 1:10 min at the latest after mixing has begun and hold in place with moderate pressure.
Note: The setting process must be monitored intraorally (e.g. using a probe), as the
temperature in the mouth has a critical effect on curing, and the provisional can only be
removed during its elastic phase.
5. The provisional must be removed from the mouth during the elastic phase, i.e. during the
period from 2 to 4 min after mixing has begun.
Note: It is essential that the provisional be light-cured for it to achieve its final hardness.
6. Light-curing: Expose each unit of the provisional to a halogen lamp for 20 seconds each or
cure for at least 1 min in a polymerization unit.
7. Before finishing, remove the oxidation prevention layer from the surface of the provisional
(e.g. with alcohol).
8. Prepare the provisional with cross-cut burs, flexible disks etc.
9. Check occlusion and adjust if necessary using suitable instruments.
10. If necessary, coat the surface of the provisional with a light-curing high-gloss glaze (e.g. Lux-
atemp Glaze & Bond) or manually polish it with a rubber polisher or small goat's hair brush.
11. Clean the core, dry it and thoroughly remove the separating medium.
12. Attach the provisional.
Note: Any temporary cement can be used for fixing the provisional. DMG recommends the
use of automatically mixing luting cement. Cements that contain eugenol may prevent the
polymerization of resin-based luting cements during the definitive luting
13. Check the occlusion and adjust accordingly.
Customizing and repairing a provisional
Note: When customizing and repairing a freshly-made provisional, it does not need to be
roughened and a bonding agent is not required (continue with step 2).
1. Repairing a provisional that is being worn: Roughen the provisional slightly using a grinder
or a sandblaster at the appropriate points. Afterwards apply a bonding agent (e.g. Luxatemp
Glaze & Bond) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Apply Luxatemp Solar to all surfaces.
3. Press the parts together.
4. Light-cure the relevant part of the provisional for 20 seconds with a curing light and then
process as normal.
Note: Alternatively, the provisional can also be customized or repaired using the light-curing,
easy-flowing composite LuxaFlow Star or Luxatemp Star. Follow the corresponding
instructions for use!
Timing

Using the Automix Cartridge (for image, see "Handling")
Use of the Automix Cartridge
1. Push up the lever [A] at the back of the Automix Dispenser and pull back the slide [B] all
the way.
2. Lift up the plastic lever [C], insert the Automix Cartridge and lock it using the plastic lever [C].
Note: Make sure that the notches on the Automix Cartridge line up with those on the
Automix Dispenser.
Attaching a mixing tip
1. Remove the cartridge cap [D] or used mixing tip after turning it 90 ° counterclockwise, and
discard it.
2. Attach a new mixing tip [E].
Note: Make sure that the notches on the mixing tip line up with those on the Automix
Cartridge.
3. Twist the mixing tip clockwise by 90 ° to lock it.
Applying the material
▸ When using an Automix Cartridge for the first time, squeeze out a pea-sized amount of
material and discard it.
▸ Mix the material in the mixing tip using the lever [F] on the Automix Dispenser and apply
directly.
Note: After the application, leave the used mixing tip on the Automix Cartridge as a seal!
Remove the Automix Cartridge
1. Push up the lever [A] at the back of the Automix Dispenser and pull back the slide [B] all
the way.
2. Lift up the plastic lever [C] and remove the Automix Cartridge.
Disinfection of the Automix Dispenser
• The Automix Dispenser can be reused after disinfection, although it should be replaced if
there are visible signs of wear.
• Disinfection can be carried out using a commercially available dipping disinfectant. DMG
recommends using only disinfectant solutions listed by the RKI (Robert Koch Institute). The
Automix Dispenser is also autoclavable
Interactions
• Residues of methacrylate-based materials may alter the setting behavior of the silicone im-
pression and bite registration materials.
• Materials containing eugenol, moisture and oily air may inhibit polymerization at the con-
tact area.
Residual risks/side effects
There are no known side effects to date. The residual risk of hypersensitivity to components of
the material cannot be ruled out.
Warnings/precautions
• Keep out of the reach of children!
• For dental use only!
• Avoid contact with the skin! In the event of accidental skin contact, immediately wash the
affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
• Avoid eye contact! In the event of accidental contact with the eyes, immediately rinse thor-
oughly with plenty of water and consult a physician if necessary.
• Reuse: Standard surface disinfection as required. No specific maintenance required.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for other products that are used with the material/
materials.
• Serious incidents involving this product must be reported to the manufacturer and to the
responsible registration authorities.
• When finishing the provisional, sanding dust can get into the eyes and respiratory tract.
• Wear a face mask and protective goggles.
• Protect against grinding dust by proper ventilation – do not inhale the dust.
