Primosplints provide highest stability without any brittleness, as the materials tensile strength and modulus of elasticity (E-Modulus) are adjusted for the application as an ideal splint material. This means that, at the same time, even though primosplints are highly stable, when strained unphysiologically (i.e. distorted impression, bubble in the stone model, etc.) they would rather break, before such wrongly made splints could stress the joint unnecessarily. Primosplint protects the natural dentition as well as the TMJ because the material is “abrasion-optimised”. Any premature contacts will wear faster; consequently the TMJ will not be stressed unnecessarily. Primosplint has a much greater working time compared to conventional PMMA materials. Due to the photo initiators used, the polymerisation process mainly starts, when primosplint is exposed to the light in a light curing unit. Primosplint has, being a light cured composite,lowest polymerization-shrinkage, and consequently highest dimension-stability. This means, no “rocking“, just precise passive fit after the light curing process. Primosplint can be easily adapted and nicely modelled due to its composite like consistency - similar to modelling clay - combined with the special rod shape. This way, bite splints can be produced very efficiently and complication-free. In the articulator not only the centric stops but also all movements (disclusion) can be simulated prior to the polymerisation. primosplint keeps the occlusal relations established and does not move back to its original shape. This results in a highly reduced working time for checking and adjusting occlusion after polymerisation. Primosplint can be adapted right onto the stone model. A suck-down matrix as splint base is not necessary. However, if a suck-down base is requested by the dentist, primostick – a light cured bonding material – will be applied to the suck-down matrix first, working as a chemical connector between the base and primosplint. As an alternative to mechanical polishing, primosplints can be “polished” very efficiently by applying primoglaze – a light cured glaze lacquer. Primosplint has no taste or smell and is in accordance with CE- and Medical Product Law. Primostick: is a light cured bonding material which creates chemical bonding between already polymerized and not yet polymerized primosplint material. Furthermore primostick is used to achieve chemical bonding between primosplint and a suck-down matrix, as well as for repairing primosplint and also regular PMMA-splints. Primoglaze: is a light cured glaze lacquer, that is applied and polymerized instead of a mechanical polishing (pumice) to achieve a high shine surface of the splint. Primosep: is the separator for the stone model. Primoclean: is a cleaning liquid to wipe off the oxygen inhibition layer that remains on the surface after primosplint is polymerized. Metatouch: is the separator for fingers and instruments. It is also used in conjunction with the Metacon Light Cured Wax System (by primotec).
