CEREC Primemill

Capable of both wet grinding and dry milling, the CEREC Primemill is a chairside CAD/CAM mill capable of producing single crowns from a variety of materials including zirconia in less than 5 minutes. Featuring two spindles and four motors, the Primemill does not sacrifice accuracy in the name of speed. Beyond its fast milling capabilities, the mill features other innovations designed to aide practice efficiency including a 7-inch touchscreen interface with guided workflows, a camera capable of identifying material blocks, and an RFID reader that scans tools to identify them and track their lifespan. The mill alerts users when tools need to be changed, guides users through routine maintenance steps, and an LED strip displays progress of the current job.

Why this mill is a big achievement:

The CEREC Primemill is not only fast, but it is also versatile and ready for expanded uses in the future. The Primemill is capable of producing restorations from a range of materials including zirconias, glass ceramics, and resin composites. However, it is also ready for materials not currently in use chairside such as titanium. While the fast milling mode is eye catching, the mill also features an Extra Fine milling mode and new 0.5 mm tools designed for producing highly detailed occlusal fissures and interdental areas on bridges.

Solea Sleep

Designed as a solution for the more than 90 million U.S. adults who snore, Solea Sleep is a new protocol for using the Solea Dental Laser to help patients achieve better sleep. The laser application reportedly is a simple, 5-minute procedure that can tighten the tissue of the patient’s soft palate in order to reduce vibrations which can cause snoring and disrupt sleep. To achieve these same results using other laser technologies such as erbium, it would reportedly require three or four 30-minute treatments. Solea Sleep is currently in limited market release and will be widely available in May 2020.

Why this laser solution is innovative:

Already among the most versatile dental technologies currently available, this new sleep application continues to expand what can be done with Solea Dental Laser. The system’s proprietary 9.3 μm CO₂ wavelength is already proven to be capable of handling a wide range of soft tissue procedures as well as crown preparations and other bone and hard tissue applications. This expansion to provide a new soft palate treatment option keeps the Solea laser in a unique place in the dental industry and continues to bring new patient-facing solutions to practices employing the technology.

WOW

Designed to connect orthodontics, oral surgery, and prosthetics, the WOW intraoral scanner captures both 2D and 3D images and can work with standard open-architecture file formats to export scans to any open CAD platform. The scanner captures color images, and features a small, comfortable handpiece said to be easy to grip like a pen. The accurate intraoral images and 3D models captured by the scanner reportedly aid in diagnostics and communication between clinicians and patients. The WOW scanner is offered at an economical price and comes bundled with an MSI GS65 laptop.

Why this scanner stands out:

The WOW intraoral scanner is described as a software-based scanner, and it is reportedly updateable without replacing any hardware. The company plans to provide software updates free of charge to WOW scanner users, making this already affordable scanner a potential long-term investment. As intraoral scanning is a growing area of many dental practices, finding a piece of technology capable of growing as a practice grows can be game changing.

[Universal Cleaner]

  KATANA

^TM  

Cleaner

When cementing a restoration during trial fitting, the bond strength is reportedly weakened due to contamination with saliva and blood in the oral cavity. Enter KATANA Cleaner, which is designed to clean up contamination and improve bond strength. This cleaner is highly effective thanks to the surface-active characteristic of MDP Salt. KATANA is said to have a pH value of 4.5, which allows usage not only extraorally, but intraorally as well, making it an all-purpose universal cleaner for tooth structure and prosthetics. It offers an easy, two-step workflow prior to cementation and reportedly only requires 10 seconds.

[Bonding Agent]

Regennex Bioactive Universal Bond

Regennex Bioactive Universal Bond incorporates bioactive materials directly into the adhesive layer, depositing biologically charged ions where it counts. This is said to allow clinicians to obtain bioactivity while using any composites or other restorative materials. Regennex uses Bioglass as the active ingredient, which is an osteogenic catalyst reportedly proven to stimulate bone cells toward self-repair. Bioglass is a biocompatible and antimicrobial material that is said to release the necessary ions to stimulate hydroxyapatite formation.

The gold anodization allows for the use of more translucent restorative materials while the pink anodization of the titanium base offers a more natural blending with the gingival tissue. The concave transgingival profile is designed to shape tissue growth for a thicker gingival cuff, reducing the chances of the abutment showing through and enabling subcrestal placement. SMARTbase supports any workflow and is available in a variety of cuff heights and profile widths. With its “Floating Screw” option, the fixation screw can be pre-assembled into the base prior to placement for easier seating of the restoration.
