SOTA Cloud
This image software is designed to allow users to capture, view, and edit images in-a browser. Features include enhanced security, power, and efficiency. The SOTA Cloud is built with technology that ensures Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant data security, so that the practice is safe from hacking. Besides offering data security and online/offline functionality, the software is also said to feature powerful image enhancement tools and the filtering technology SOTA POP for contrast. A user-friendly dashboard lets clinicians communicate, view images, check data, and access insights that can help bolster case acceptance in patients.

Why this software stands apart:

SOTA Cloud also has a cloud-sharing functionality that allows for easy and secure data sharing for images. Increased efficiency comes through built-in hardware and software integrations and streamlined processes. With SOTA Cloud, every process is designed to save time, from editing images to viewing reports—no extra clicks, pop-ups, or waiting. The modern technology that the software is built on can handle the demands of any size practice, from solo practices to DSOs. Computing power and storage are limitless.

Programat CS6
With the new Programat CS6 combination furnace, clinicians can crystallize and sinter restorations faster than ever before with unsurpassed esthetic results. The new technology behind the Programat CS6 ensures that each case is quickly and consistently completed. In addition to pre-installed programs for Ivoclar Vivadent materials, programs for third-party materials can easily be created independently. Additional features include: multiple firing options, which make easy to refine or enhance restorations; 10-year material guarantee; simple remakes; and a state-of-the-art crystallization tray with space for a 3-unit bridge or 4 single-tooth restorations.

Why this furnace stands apart:

The open combination furnace delivers quick crystallization, sintering, and glazing. Clinicians can speed up the world’s most used all-ceramic material, IPS e.max CAD lithium disilicate, and can crystallize restorations in just over 11 minutes. The Programat CS6 furnace easily reproduces high-quality results with its advanced firing technology.

[ Automated Charting ]

Voice Perio
By employing artificial intelligence (AI), the Voice Perio voice-assistant system adapts to the speaker and environment. The company’s advanced voice technology is designed to improve the speed and autonomy of perio exams. It helps dental practices better protect the health of staff and patients by reducing unnecessary interactions with dental assistants or computer input devices (eg, keyboards and mice). Bola AI is also an official partner of Henry Schein ONE.

[ Resin-Modified Pulp Protectant ]

Ceramir Protect LC Syringe

Ceramir Protect LC - Syringe is a light-cured, resin-modified Bioceramic pulp protectant for direct and indirect pulp capping. The significant release of calcium on moist tooth surfaces promotes the formation of hydroxyapatite and tertiary dentin, leading to safe pulp protection. A high alkaline pH level creates an environment hostile to bacteria, which is conducive for healing and protects against hypersensitivity. The ready-to-use 1-component material is insoluble and radiopaque.

[ Printing Material ]

xMODEL 2505

Designed for the ultrafast production of additively manufactured thermoformed dental models, dental removable dies, and other dental model applications, Nexa3D’s new xMODEL 2505 rigid beige material powered by BASF Forward AM is now commercially available. It is said to deliver higher print accuracy that brings the total cost per model down for dental prosthetics manufacturers. This new dental model material requires no finishing detergents, as the printed models can simply be washed with water.

[ Sectional Matrix System ]

Premier X5 Sectional Matrix System

The Premier X5 Sectional Matrix System, which features 5 components, is said to achieve optimal Class II composite restorations. The X5 ring is designed to have strength and stability for separation force and interproximal contacts. Features include the reusable resin rings that can be autoclaved up to 5 times, anatomically shaped matrices, tight contact delivery, low cost compared with that of NiTin ring systems, compatibility, and ease of use.

[ Software Platform ]

Invite

Invite is an artificial intelligence–powered tool that is designed to create customized and automated outreach to fill practices’ schedules with patients with open treatment plans. The platform offers appointments resulting from its ability to match patients with incomplete treatments to openings in a practice schedule. It also can segment by procedure, insurance coverage, last treatment date, and more options to help identify priority patients. Text-to-schedule and email appointment invites go right to patients.

[ Aerosol Evacuator ]

Single-Use Aerosol Evacuator

This single-use, low-cost aerosol evacuator attaches to the standard high-volume evacuation connection. It can be used for hands-free suction at the exit of the oral cavity and has adjustable wings that allow a better view for the clinician and more comfort for the patient. The Single-Use Aerosol Evacuator is a Henry Schein Brand proprietary design and stands among other aerosol management products from Henry Schein released earlier this year.

Editor’s Choice: Endodontic procedures can be done safely with minimal invasiveness for patients with this new file system.

[ Endo Expansion Files ]

ExactTaper^HDC™

SS White Dental has launched the ExactTaperHDC, a new range of endodontic files that are said to offer flexibility while maintaining the strength expected of an endodontic file. This range of files conserves dentin for a longer-lasting restoration. Because of the variety of sizes and lengths, practices will not have to change endodontic routine drastically. ExactTaperHDC offers flexibility in its proprietary heat-treating process. The ExactTaperHDC is another step in delivering better patient outcomes and more innovation in the endodontic product space.
