// Self-Adhesive Resin Cement

BeautiLink SA

Available in 3 different shades, BeautiLink SA is a self-adhesive resin cement designed specifically for zirconia restorations. BeautiLink SA has an ideal viscosity for easy handling. It comes with mixing tips that ensure perfect paste delivery, and clean-up is quick and easy, the company states. BeautiLink SA is a self-adhesive, dual-cured resin cement formulated to ensure optimal retention and marginal integrity, providing a strong and long-lasting bond specifically for zirconia restorations. One of the most common reasons for crown failure is secondary decay. This is where this cement can help since BeautiLink SA features the proprietary bioactive Giomer Technology and can release and recharge fluoride and other beneficial ions for the life of the restoration—greatly reducing the potential for crown failure. Additionally, BeautiLink SA’s anti-bacterial and acid-neutralizing effects are formulated to reduce caries-causing bacteria present in the preparation or infiltrating the margins.These bioactive properties provide health benefits not found in competitive products, according to the manufacturer. BeautiLink SA is available in Clear, Ivory, and Opaque shades. The Clear and Ivory shades are highly translucent, while the Opaque shade is ideal for masking stains and darker preps. BeautiLink SA offers impressive color stability, providing long-lasting esthetics for all indirect restorations, Shofu states. Available in 2 packaging options: one 8.6g syringe with 10 mixing tips, MSRP $134.95; or two 8.6g syringes with 20 mixing tips, MSRP $234.95.

The NFinity nitrogen generator is designed to transform the landscape of dental 3D printing post-curing by delivering optimal esthetics and printing consistency. With dental professionals constantly seeking ways to enhance their 3D printing outcomes, balancing the need for durability with the demand for natural-looking results is key—precision and esthetics are paramount in digital dentistry.

The nitrogen generator enables users to craft dental applications with unparalleled clarity, smoother surfaces, and enhanced strength—all within their existing workflow. The NFinity nitrogen generator complements the company’s CURIE Plus to enhance biocompatible UV curing for crowns, splints, and dentures. It optimizes the CURIE Plus UV curing process by creating a near-oxygen-free environment (95% nitrogen purity) within the curing chamber, which eliminates the need to use uncontrollable methods like vacuum and glycerin. This process significantly enhances UV light absorption.

Curing in a nitrogen rich environment makes a significant difference and the benefits include: optimal esthetics (the higher nitrogen concentration ensures even better light absorption, resulting in dental appliances with superior color transparency and smoothness); boosted mechanical properties (NFinity users can expect up to a 25% improvement in the strength and durability of their 3D printed applications like splints, crowns and dentures); consistency in every print (the 95% nitrogen environment guarantees uniform curing, eliminating variations that can occur with less controlled methods like glycerin or water submersion). The nitrogen generator is an alternative to cumbersome nitrogen tanks or messy glycerin baths. NFinity produces unlimited curing cycles of 95% purity nitrogen on demand, fitting seamlessly into any dental workspace. This not only streamlines the workflow but also significantly enhances safety in the dental office or lab, the company adds. Additionally, the NFinity unlocks thefullpotentialofAckuretta's certified FLOW resins.
