Luxatemp Star

    Substantially higher flexural strength and fracture toughness
    Improved initial hardness
    Great adaption and fit
    Outstanding esthetics and color stability
    Faster curing
    High biocompatibility
    Suited for long term temporaries

For decades, the name Luxatemp has been associated internationally with precision-fit temporary crowns and bridges. Luxatemp Star, the latest generation, impresses with further optimised top values in flexural strength, break resistance and increased initial hardness. This makes the temporaries more stable than ever before. And something that lasts a long time should also look good for a long time: The extraordinary long-term colour stability of Luxatemp Star offers a guarantee you can rely on. Additional benefits in practical use: The material reaches its final hardness even faster. Of course, the benefits that Luxatemp has long since stood for remain unchanged: amazing aesthetics and excellent workability.

How Luxatemp Star makes the best even better.
About bending and breaking
Luxatemp temporaries last because one focus in the product’s development was mechanical stability. Besides its improved initial hardness, Luxatemp Star impresses with top ratings for break resistance and flexural strength and thus ensures even more stability and durability.
Especially the flexural strength properties determine when a material caves in and breaks. Ultimately, this is what the success of a restoration is measured by because slight deviations can be vital, especially in case of two- or multi-part temporaries.

Looking good for the duration
As its predecessor Luxatemp-Fluorescence, Luxatemp Star also impresses esthetically. The material’s fluorescence is similar to that of a natural tooth. 6 different shades give a dentist plenty of rope to create a harmonious, natural overall picture. Especially beautiful: the good impression lasts. Luxatemp Star’s excellent color stability gives even long-term temporaries a lastingly attractive appearance.

Fits. Immediately
Temporaries must fit – immediately and precisely, without lengthy grinding and correcting. Luxatemp Star offers a perfect fit that is dependable. The key to precision lies in the material’s superior characteristics: optimal flow characteristics in the impression taking process, extremely minimal shrinkage, low water absorption – all that allows for precision work.
