Dental Lab Product Roundup for the week of July 19, 2012

BEGO’s new CAD/CAM production center takes open scanner STL files to produce Selective Laser Melting (SLM) non-precious CoCr copings and bridges (single units to long span bridges), CAD/cast noble and high noble vacuum/pressure castings, or BeCe Waxup resin crown and bridges. SLM, a form of rapid-prototyping or Stereolithography that uses laser technology to melt alloy powder into thin layers, is used in all BEGO production centers. The layers are melted together to create homogeneous copings and bridges. SLM restorations have higher tensile strength, elongation limits and modulus of elasticity properties than restorations cast in the same alloy. Dental laboratories are always looking for ways to maximize their daily production.

		Freedom of not having to go through the steps of making metal copings and bridges

		Open scanner STL files can be turned into non-precious copings and bridges using a rapid prototyping technology for metal, using sintered alloy powder and a laser beam

		Elimination of alloy waste in the manufacturing process passes savings to the laboratory

		CAD/cast files for noble and high noble alloys will be vacuum/pressured cast and returned to the laboratory ready for degassing or finishing

		Convert open scanner STL files into wax/resin coping or bridges that ship back ready for spruing, investing, pressing or casting

 Sunstar America's GUM PerioShield oral health rinse represents a next generation solution to achieving and maintaining a healthy mouth. It inhibits bacterial adhesion to tooth surfaces and serves as an adjunct to normal mechanical oral hygiene.
	
	

 The rinse provides a tool clinically proven to prevent plaque and gingivitis that could lead to periodontitis.

 It contains the proprietary ingredient delmopinol hydrochloride 0.2%, which prevents bacteria from forming the glucan/polysaccharide film necessary for adherence and disrupts existing plaque biofilm, making it easier to remove.
	
	

 The oral rinse’s plaque-blocking technology forms a shield to prevent plaque from adhering to tooth and gum surfaces.
	
	

 Patients rinse with the solution twice a day (morning and evening) for 30 seconds. The low 1.5% alcohol content is beneficial for patients who prefer or require low-alcohol oral rinse and is safe and effective for long-term use.

Permitting fully automated and shrinkage-compensating polymerization of 

 base material, the IvoBase® System consists of a PMMA-based denture base material and a custom injector. The IvoBase Acrylic material combines the advantages of heat- and cold-curing denture base resins, meeting the requirements of both. The hybrid material’s initial residual monomer content is <1.5%. IvoBase High Impact also is available for cases where high fracture resistance is desired. The materials are available in Pink, Pink-v, Preference, Clear, Pink-v implant and Preference 

 colors. The IvoBase Injector is equipped with polymerization programs especially designed for use with the respective materials.

		Operating Status Display shows current status at a glance

		Processing chamber is fully automated from press to cure

		Operator interface provides simple push-button control of processing programs

		Smart thermo-management technology compensates for acrylic shrinkage as it cures

		IvoBase Acrylic offered in hybrid warm cure and high impact hot cure, each in several shades

		Process precision conventional and implant retained dentures at the push of a button

		Produces denture base with exceptional accuracy, density and strength

The TI-Max Z95L dental handpiece from NSK Dental is a durable, high performance, titanium-bodied electric handpiece. It features a small head and slim neck dimensions allowing operational visibility like never before.

: It performs at a remarkably low noise level with virtually no vibration to aid the clinician’s focus and to enhance patient comfort.

: The Z95L gear shapes have been designed using High Spec 3D simulation software, and a special Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating is applied to the gears. Both dramatically increase sustained durability.

: Accessing otherwise difficult oral regions is made significantly easier by the smaller, slimmer ergonomic design for the standard head attachment.

: An anti-heat system in the head cap design limits heat generation during treatment to help keep patients safe.

: The NSK Quattro Water Spray effectively cools the entire operating field. The Microfilter prevents particles from entering the water spray system to guarantee optimum water-spray cooling at all times.

Hailed as the most significant and sophisticated release since the launch of CEREC 3D almost a decade ago, CEREC®  Software 4.0 brings out the full potential of the CEREC AC Acquisition unit and its Bluecam imaging technology.

: Users can work on multiple restoration designs at the same time. Restorations also can be designed in different modes for greater flexibility.

: Design tools now are executed directly on the tooth for adding or removing material, rotating or positioning the restoration and expanding or reducing tooth size.

: Intuitive workflow lets operators know exactly where they are in the design process and what steps come next, enabling jumping from one step to the next without linear limitations.

: Streamlined design at the bottom of the CEREC Software 4.0 design window shows each step clearly defined along with the prior and next steps in the design process.
