Another notable feature of the Ceramill Map FX is its high precision, with even the optional HD scan achieving an accuracy of up to 4 μm, ensuring the kind of quality dental work that both patients and practitioners desire. The scanner also supports various scanning options, including impression scanning and "multidie," providing maximum convenience for users. Moreover, it offers open interfaces for connectivity with all common CAD/CAM systems via .STL and .PLY files. One notable advantage of the Ceramill Map FX is its compatibility with the popular Artex articulator system. The scanner seamlessly integrates with the articulator, facilitating tasks such as vestibular scanning. This feature allows for a wide array of dental applications while ensuring simple and intuitive operation.
DMG America’s new Ecosite Elements nanohybrid universal composite shade system will be unveiled at the Greater New York Dental Meeting, November 26-29, but starting November 1, dental professionals can access and purchase this product designed to excel in composite restorations, especially those that demand superior esthetics. Ecosite Elements is the culmination of extensive collaboration with leading clinicians and in-depth research by DMG scientists. This nanohybrid composite system empowers dental professionals to create esthetically impressive restorations swiftly and efficiently, according to the company. Key features include: Ecosite Elements offers a concise range of shades across 3 modules (Pure, Layer, and Highlight). This minimizes storage and inventory requirements, resulting in cost savings; NC1 Technology to ensure perfect polishability and esthetics, making the material ideal for anterior and posterior applications (the precise silanization of ultrafine filler elements guarantees homogeneous distribution, delivering optimal working characteristics and exceptional polishability); and the Push-and-Flow Technique—enabled by NC1 technology, this innovative technique allows the material to adapt to different situations. The material's firm consistency during sculpting quickly transitions to a softer state, facilitating secure adaptation to cavity walls while eliminating bubbles or cracks. The result is lifelike anatomical details in the final restoration. Ecosite Elements joins DMG's line of innovative composite offerings, which includes Luxatemp bis-acrylic provisional material and LuxaCore Z Dual core build-up and post-cementation composite. It can also be used alongside other advanced materials in the Ecosite family, such as Ecosite Bulk Fill and Ecosite Bond.
Rodin™ Sculpture 2.0 Rodin™ Sculpture 2.0 is described as a next-generation zirconia-infused nanohybrid resin that achieves previously unseen flexural strength and ceramic filler content values, allowing the material to provide optimal wear and fracture resistance and set new benchmarks in the ceramic-nanohybrid industry. Sculpture 2.0 features a large increase in ceramic filler content to over 60% and an exceptional Biaxial Flexural Strength of over 200 MPa, according to the company. Additional benefits of the new resin include exceptional mechanical strength that offers optimal resistance to wear and fracture, providing patients with enduring long-term solutions; unmatched esthetics with a selection of 16 Vita Classic shades and 2 additional bleach shades; ADA Approval for Permanent Restorations—it is predominantly ceramic filled, making it eligible for 2023 ADA insurance code reimbursements; superior radiopacity designed to guarantee great x-ray clarity for precise fit checking and increased diagnostic accuracy; and for further esthetic enhancements, Rodin Sculpture 2.0 seamlessly pairs with acrylic-based light-curable stain and glaze systems, such as Rodin™ Palette.

Rodin™ Titanceramic nanohybrid resin is engineered for the printing of full arch restorations and provisional hybrid dentures. It retains the core composition of Rodin Sculpture—a class II ceramic nanohybrid with analogous ceramic filler content, yet features a substantial increase in flexibility for enhanced impact strength, according to the manufacturer. This modified flexural modulus has been specifically tailored for printing full arch restorations and provisional hybrid dentures. Clinicians can now print long-lasting tooth arches for split file denture designs, full monolithic dentures, and immediate screw-retained dentures. Additional benefits of the new resin include a swift workflow as Titan is formulated to enable quick and accurate printing, streamlining chairside workflows; it is available in 6 sought-after Vita shades (BL0, BL3, B1, A1, A2, and A3) to provide clinicians with the versatility to replicate natural esthetics, resulting in seamless integration with patients' smiles; Rodin Titan is said to accurately mimic natural tooth translucency compared to leading competitors; and optimal radiopacity that ensures precise visualization of provisionals within the oral cavity, facilitating effective fit assessment and verification.

Glider Integrated Dental Surgical Table from ASI Dental Specialties
[Surgical Table]
Glider Integrated Dental Surgical Table
The Glider™ Integrated Dental Surgical table is described as a game changer when providing efficient dental implant and surgical procedures as an integrated over the patient dental surgical table. It is designed to be positioned over standard and surgical-style dental patient chairs and for stand-up or sit-down procedures.The surgical table now includes a floating shelf that can be pulled in over the main work top for additional instruments or cassettes. This new feature helps create improved workflows by adding extra space for the surgeon to move from part of the procedure to the next. For example, when extractions are finished, the instruments on the floating shelf can be simply moved back out of the way to allow for implant equipment and instruments to be accessible on the main Glider worktop. The table can be integrated with surgical motors, saline irrigation, air water syringe and suction instruments for a convenient surgical table with 1 foot control. This innovative surgical table is designed and equipped with everything needed to move through a surgery seamlessly, according to the manufacturer.The advanced delivery design eliminates multiple carts, stands, and awkward reaching for select instrumentation during procedures. Additionally, the Glider’s design and generous size deliver an oral surgical table for instruments with integrated dental and suction handpieces, including an optional surgical-style motor. The handpiece and tubing placement to each side eliminates the clutter of a separate delivery unit while providing clinicians with convenient and quick access to handpieces.
