Warning
Vectris has been developed solely for use in dentistry. Prevent
contact of the eyes and skin with uncured material (Vectris fibres).
If the material comes into contact with the skin, rinse with copious
amounts of water. Contact of the skin with uncured material may
cause slight irritation and sensitization to methacrylate. Use suction
equipment and a protective mask when grinding the material.
Finishing the Vectris frameworks creates glass fibre dust, which
may cause the skin to itch. Wearing suitable gloves is
recommended. Thoroughly clean the skin that has come into
contact with glass fibre dust. Many commercially available
protective gloves do not provide effective protection against the
sensitizing effect of methacrylates. Observe the danger signs and
notes on the primary packaging and labels of the individual
materials.
Interaction
Latex gloves have an adverse effect on the polymerization of
polyvinyl siloxanes. For this reason, Transil must not come into
direct or indirect contact with latex gloves. It is advisable to use
vinyl gloves or to thoroughly wash and rinse the hands prior to
using Transil.
General
Ignoring the stipulated contraindications or limitations on the use
of the material (Questions & Answers) may result in the clinical
failure of the restoration fabricated. Make sure to use original
Ivoclar Vivadent materials and equipment when fabricating
prosthetic reconstructions with Vectris.
Side effects
Side effects are not known to date. In rare cases, an allergic reac-
tion may occur. Vectris must not be used if the patient is suspected
or known to be allergic to any of the material’s ingredients.
Storage
– Store unopened and opened packages of Vectris framework
material at 18–25 ºC (64–77 ºF).
– Store opened Vectris packages in a place that is protected from
light and use up the contents as soon as possible.
– Reseal Vectris Glue immediately after use (exposure to light may
result in premature polymerization).
– Store Transil at 12–28 ºC (54–82 ºF).
– Observe the notes on the storage and dates of expiration of the
individual packages.
– Do not use materials after the date of expiration.
– Keep out of the reach of children.
Note on the cleaning of Vectris restorations
Ultrasonic cleaning liquid is very aggressive. If used inappropriately,
the topmost layer of the composite surface may dissolve. Do not
use basic cleaning liquids that have a pH-value higher than 8.
