// Bioelectric Toothbrush
Great Gums One

The Great Gums One toothbrush—one of 2 toothbrushes launched by the company in the United States and featuring the company’s patented bioelectric technology—is now available. Utilizing patented bioelectric technology, the toothbrush is designed to offer superior plaque removal and enhance overall oral health, setting a new standard in oral care. The toothbrush harnesses bioelectric technology that creates an imperceptible electromagnetic field around the bristles. This field delivers 10 million waves per second to effectively disrupt and remove plaque from teeth, braces, implants, and dentures, areas that are often difficult to reach with traditional toothbrushes, the company states. The company has refined, enhanced, and reduced the cost of the brush through 12 versions to develop the Great Gums One Toothbrush for under $30. Bioelectric brushing cleans through electrical stimulation rather than physical movement, making it gentler and more thorough than traditional electric brushes, according to the manufacturer. Research shows the bioelectric toothbrushes are 6 times more effective at targeting hard-to-remove plaque compared to ordinary toothbrushes, the company states.

// Healing Abutment

SmartShape™ Healers

BioHorizons has launched SmartShape Healers, new anatomically shaped healing abutments designed for scannability, aiming to simplify clinical workflows. This development highlights the company's ongoing effort to enhance the efficiency of dental procedures, according to a press release from BioHorizons. Key features of the SmartShape Healers include:

• Innovative Design: Anatomically shaped with a scannable surface.
• Esthetic Benefits: Site-specific configurations for better gingival contouring.
• Efficiency: Streamlined components reduce chair time for restorations.
• Flexibility: Compatible with both traditional and digital impression-taking methods.

The healers come with 6 anatomical profiles, a matte surface for scanning, and occlusal markings for orientation. Their all-metal design is said to guarantee seating verification, and a 4-step workflow makes tissue contouring consistent from healing to final restoration. Vulcan Custom Dental, a BioHorizons subsidiary, provides custom restorations designed to match the healers.
