Clinical Overview
Primma Art is a self‑curing bis‑acrylic composite designed for provisional crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays, veneers, mock‑ups, and relines. Its balanced viscosity and monomer blend ensure excellent flow into mold detail, controlled working time, easy removal during the elastic phase, and high shade fidelity to Vita A2. It combines robust mechanical strength, minimal exotherm, and color stabilization over time.
Key Benefits
- High mechanical strength: Resists fracture and wear even in long-term provisional restorations.
- Shade fidelity to Vita A2: Reliable esthetics without unpredictable shade shifts.
- Low heat release: Patient-safe for vital tooth temporaries, minimizing thermal sensitivity.
- Optimal rheology: Flows well into intricate mold anatomy and removes easily in elastic phase (~2–3 min).
- Shade-stabilizing formulation: Minimizes oxygen-inhibited layer and retains color stability.
- Efficient mixing system: Self‑mixing tips reduce waste by up to 40% and ensure reproducible consistency.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 75 g dual-barrel cartridge in A2 shade
- 10 × disposable self‑mixing automix tips
Working & Setting Times
- Working time: ~40 seconds from start of mix
- Elastic-phase removal: 2–3 minutes after mixing begins
- Full polymerization: ~5 minutes
Actual times may vary with ambient temperature and cartridge age.
Indications
- Creation of provisional crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays, veneers, or mock‑ups in the A2 shade
- Long‑term temporary restorations in vital and non‑vital teeth
- Refilling of prefabricated composite, polycarbonate, or metal provisionals
- Esthetic mock-ups and surgical guides requiring predictable morphology and shade.
Instructions for Use
- Isolate the tooth and lubricate mold or prep with Vaseline or glycerin.
- Attach a self‑mixing tip and dispense a small initial bead to ensure homogeneous mixing.
- Fill the mold starting occlusally, then cervical—keep tip immersed to avoid air bubble entrapment.
- Seat the mold over the tooth within ~40 seconds, maintaining steady pressure.
- Remove mold during elastic phase (~2–3 min after mixing).
- Allow full set (~5 min), then clean surface with alcohol to remove the inhibited resin layer.
- Trim and finish provisional using fine or extra‑fine diamond burs; polish with rubber disks or FGM Diamond/Flex felt disks and paste.
- Cement provisional using a non‑eugenol temporary luting agent.
Summary
FGM Primma Art in shade A2 (Ref. 55219) is a high-performance bis‑acrylic composite optimized for provisional restorations. It delivers consistent shade match to Vita A2, strong mechanical properties, low exotherm, efficient mixing, and easy handling through stages—from mold fill to finishing—making it a reliable choice for both short- and long-term temporization.
