[ Universal Composite ]

Transcend™

Transcend is a new universal composite that is designed with high levels of translucency to allow clinicians to achieve esthetic results that patients desire from their restorative work. Transcend uses Ultradent’s Resin Particle Match™ technology to ensure those high levels of translucency which in turn lead to ideal pigmentation and opacity. Transcend uses a nanohybrid formula that makes it suitable for posterior and anterior restorations, as well as lending it good handling properties. It is said to be malleable without sacrificing strength. It aims to maintain balance in its high wear-resistance but less abrasive nature. Transcend also touts the ability to block underlying tooth color via its opacity which eliminates the need for a blocker shade, freeing up space in the inventory and saving money. Transcend composite also features 4 dentin shades and 2 enamel shades for cases requiring layering.

[ Nitrile Exam Gloves ]

Bio Nitrile Biodegradable Nitrile Powder Free Examination Gloves

Cranberry Bio Nitrile Biodegradable Nitrile Powder Free Examination Gloves are designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable, eco-friendly dental products. The nitrile material features an additive that reportedly introduces microbial activity when the gloves are disposed of in a landfill, and up to 90% of the material breaks down in 1.5 years. The biodegradable properties do not affect the gloves' performance as they pass and exceed ASTM standards for tensile strength and force at break.
