June 2021 New Products

Designed to provide a 3D printed denture solution that doesn’t compromise on strength or esthetics, the Flexcera materials from Desktop Health include Flexcera Base and Flexcera Smile. The Flexcera materials are approved for exclusive use with EnvisionTEC 3D printers and can be used in a workflow to provide same-day dentures without sacrificing quality. The Flexcera materials are designed to give the resin the flexibility of plastic and the strength of ceramic. Flexcera is expected to be commercially available in the United States and Canada by the end of June.

Why these materials are different

Both Flexcera Base and Flexcera Smile were developed to provide the strength of a ceramic restoration while retaining the denture properties derived from long-chain chemistry of denture material. The solution can be used to produce up to 8 dentures in less than 2 hours. The materials offer high fracture and moisture resistance to provide durable prosthetics. Flexcera Smile is said to be 3 times more resistant to fracture, and Flexcera Base reportedly provides 2 times more moisture resistance than other market offerings.

Developed by a dentist and former Dyson engineer, the Loupe Face Shield uses a nano-optical visor that helps reduce eye strain. It is reportedly less reflective than other visor plastics. Additionally, the Loupe Face Shield features an adjustable clearance to allow for virtually any loupe and light setup. Described as lightweight and comfortable, it is designed for use by dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants.

How this face shield is different

The Loupe Shield’s nano surface optical visor is said to be 10 times less reflective than the standard PET plastic used in other visors. It also allows 97% of light to pass through compared with 87% in the PET visors, which is designed to reduce glare, enabling clinicians to see with great clarity while reducing eyestrain. Plus, the entire visor slides forward up to 9 cm, allowing enough room for nearly any loupe or light.

The Second Order Bend Pliers Set was prototyped with the dental professional in mind to effectively complete the crucial finishing stage with precise case refinements. Keeping the archwire bending intraorally near the bracketed teeth eliminates the need to remove the archwire to make the bend, which in turn, helps eliminate common bending errors. Designed by Progressive Orthodontic Seminars head instructor David Dana, DDS, exclusively for Progressive Dental Supply, the set includes 4 stainless steel instruments with unique bending beaks. Two 1-sided step pliers accomplish 8 bends each (4 on each arch). Two Z bend pliers are capable of 4 bends each (1 per quadrant).

Designed specifically for VOCO’s VisCalor composite line, this rapid warming dispenser is an ergonomic device that enables the warming of VisCalor in 30 seconds while maximizing the work time to as much as 2.5 minutes.
