IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TRIAD UNIT:
Do not cover the Triad 2000 turntable. The Triad
2000 VLC Light Curing Unit is intended for the
curing of:
1) Triad Material,
2) Triad Material to already-cured Triad Material,
or
3) Triad Material to previously fabricated acrylic
prostheses.
Because heat is generated as part of the cure pro-
cess, some thermoplastic materials may soften and
distort. Care should be exercised in dealing with
combinations of metal and plastic, relines of lower
partial dentures and thermoplastic denture base
materials. Distortion can be avoided by dividing
the total cure time into interrupted segments to
allow cooling.
DENTSPLY recommends routine sterilization of
the turntable.Remove the turntable from the unit,
then soak or spray it with a surface disinfectant.
The Triad 2000 turntable may be autoclaved up to
approximately 100 cycles, based on internal test-
ing.
Do not operate the unit with the turntable down.
NOTICE: DENTSPLY CANNOT BE RESPON-
SIBLE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF TRIAD
MATERIALS EXCEPT WHEN USED WITH
TRIAD CURING UNITS, AND IN ACCOR-
DANCE WITH PROCEDURES RECOMMEND-
ED BY DENTSPLY.

TRIAD MATERIALS:
•If uncured Triad VLC Material becomes crusty,
forms a skin on its surface and becomes diffi-
cult to blend together, it has been exposed to
light for too long and should be discarded
because irreversible partial curing has occurred.
•If fresh, room-temperature Triad Material
should craze or crack when bent at a sharp
angle, it has exceeded its useful life.
•Refrigerate Triad Materials for maximum shelf
life.
•Prolonged contact with uncured Triad
Materials can cause a slight-to-moderate skin
irritation. Wash hands after handling resin.
Persons with special skin problems, cuts, or
abrasions should wear protective gloves.
Uncured Triad Materials are mild sensitizing
agents. Occasionally, users may develop con-
tact dermatitis. Should this occur, wear protec-
tive gloves. If sensitization persists, consult a
physician.
•Triad Bonding Agent is a moderate skin irritant.
Apply with brush provided. Avoid contact with
skin. Should contact occur, wash promptly.
Contains methyl methacrylate, a potential sen-
sitizing agent for certain individuals.
•DENTSPLY recommends exercising good
infection control practices when using Triad
Bonding Agent and Air Barrier Coating (ABC).
To avoid contamination of contents, pour a
small amount of Bonding Agent or ABC into a
dappen dish. After using the brush to apply
solution, remove brush from cap and discard.
Use general purpose disposable brushes there-
after.
•Triad Air Barrier Coating should be kept out of
the eyes.
•DENTSPLY recommends exercising good
infection control practices when using Triad
Model Release Agent (MRA). Use a clean cot-
ton swab or disposable spatula to remove the
desired amount from the MRA container.
Dispose of any unused portion of MRA when
finished with application.
