Launca DL-206 intraoral scanner
As the latest member of the Launca DL-200 series, DL-206 is by far the lightest, smallest, but also the most powerful powder-free intraoral scanner ever made by Launca Medical.

Additional benefits include a small, ergonomic scanner; high-speed scanning; true accuracy; vivid color visualization; a dual camera design for high-resolution imaging; and a 20-mm scan depth.

Brush&Bond MAX
This next-generation bonding agent focuses on providing optimal performance on the surfaces dentists use bonding agents on the most—enamel and dentin. This single-bottle system provides stronger adhesion and higher bond strengths than the leading competitor, so users can feel more confident in their ability to deliver restorations that can withstand the test of time with no postoperative sensitivity. One key differentiator with this system is the introduction of the simplified touch application technique, which is an alternative to the scrubbing step needed when applying many other bonding agents to the prep surface. Dentists just need to dip the head of the chemically treated activator brush into the Brush&Bond MAX liquid and simply touch it to the prep surface, going back and forth to pick up more liquid until the entire prep surface is moist.
What else makes this bonding agent special?
Brush&Bond MAX also treats dentin hypersensitivity and seals crown preps with a durable surface coat during temporization. Because of its low film thickness, it is imperceptible in x-rays and won’t interfere with the seating of lab-fabricated restorations when used in conjunction with resin-based adhesive cements.
