3D Predict

Featuring Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, this orthodontic software platform is designed to produce highly precise 3D models of the patient’s dentition that take into account the full anatomy including crowns, bones, and roots, when designing clear aligner treatment plans. The software detects and prevents anatomically impossible tooth movements which reportedly reduces teeth alignment corrections by 50% and cuts treatment time by 30%. Based around digital impression and 3D CBCT imaging, the 3D Predict software can help clinicians avoid root collisions because it tracks the proposed root movements, as well as the tooth crown movements during treatment.

What makes this software different:

Combining a complete look at the patient’s anatomy with AI processing power, the 3D Predict platform aims to make clear aligner therapy more straightforward for both clinicians and patients. The system can reportedly eliminate at least 5 patient visits from the treatment planning as those would typically be focused on correcting the initial treatment plan. By reducing the number of appointments, practices provide better service to patients while also freeing up time to handle additional cases.

[ Flowable Composite ]

GrandioSO Light Flow

GrandioSO Light Flow low viscosity nano-hybrid flowable composite for special occasions features VOCO’s proprietary designer nano-technology. It has the filler degree of a universal composite, plus an extremely flowable viscosity that allows for targeted and precise applications using an ultra-fine intraoral tip—even finer than a periodontal probe. Formulated with a filler content of 76% by weight, the material’s 3-point flexural strength of 151 MPa is an example of how it effortlessly attains physical property values much higher than traditional flowables. It allows new options in performing precise, minimally invasive dentistry without compromising quality and longevity.

[ Dental Vacuum ]

Aeras Vacuum

The Aeras Vacuum by Ramvac® features smart technology with a focus on safety and efficiency, and is part of the new Aeras Intelligent Platform. With the power to provide actionable information, accurately, quickly and conveniently, every Aeras product is designed to collect and share data, streamlining standard-of-care processes and creating an environment of optimal patient care and practice productivity.

[ Tissue Retractor ]

Umbrella™

The Umbrella soft tissue retractor is designed for ease of placement and patient comfort for a number of indications. To use the retractor, a clinician presses the 2 tabs together, places it in the patient’s mouth, and it pops open. It helps a patient’s mouth stay open in a natural range while still allowing the patient to remain comfortable and open or close their mouth as needed. It also opens the space between the teeth, lips, and cheeks to help saliva accumulate away from dentition and improve access for high volume evacuation. The retractor also features a tongue guard designed to give clinicians great access and give the tongue a place to settle, which allows the patient to easily swallow.

[ Delivery System ]

ReFit Model

The ReFit Model is an ideal way to retrofit and replace older cabinet arm-mounted dental equipment with a modern design. The door dental delivery system features a reduced height and compact footprint to allow it to fit underneath existing dental countertops. It provides the same features as the company’s Advanced Endodontic System door model but with a shorter chassis. It provides an easy way to upgrade the look and function of your treatment room with a fresh, aseptic advanced delivery system custom configured with the instruments of your choice. It features a clean design with bottles stored inside the chassis and it’s ideal for a Side Instrument Delivery Cart.

[ Imaging App ]

Imaging Case and Collaboration

The new Imaging Case and Collaboration (ICC) app is an easy-to-use platform that makes sharing cases more secure and straightforward. From the general practitioner to the specialist to the lab—even practices within the same network, such as a DSO setting—ICC is designed to make it easier to connect oral health care providers for closer collaboration, getting patients the answers and care they need sooner. The completely cloud-based platform lets users upload all their important case images, from CBCT scans (DICOM) and intraoral scans (STL) to JPGS. With one-click, treatment plans and images can be shared with colleagues and other oral healthcare professionals.

[ Implant Care Kit ]

Editor's Choice: There is no staining or burning, and it reaches areas missed by regular brushing and flossing.

Reassure

Reassure is designed to help insure your implant’s success by removing biofilm, killing bacteria, fungi and viruses, plus neutralizing volatile sulfur compounds. If an implant fails, gets peri-mucositis, peri-implantitis, or any other problem, the patient may feel you are responsible even though the number one cause of failure is biofilm and the patient’s inability to remove it. This two-step implant care kit provides a gel to apply right after implant placement and a take-home rinse the patient uses daily. Education on how to maintain implants for a lifetime has lagged. Reassure can help bridge the gap between placing implants and how the patient can keep them clean and healthy.

[ Flossing Device ]

Refillable Floss Pick

The Refillable Floss Pick’s long-lasting reusable handle is designed to make it easy to floss hard-to-reach places, and the compact dispensing case with a built-in mouth mirror makes flossing accessible and worry-free for on-the-go use. The case and handle also allow for easy, 1-click restringing of fresh ADA-accepted mint-flavored floss that expands to help clean. The pick is designed as an alternative to quip’s Refillable Floss String product for people who prefer floss picks, or as a companion product for those who prefer to string at home and pick when on the go. The eco-friendly floss pick comes pre-loaded with the first refill floss pod and is designed to inspire better habits and reduce plastic waste. Customers can sign up for a subscription, automatic refill plan.

[ Denture Toothbrush ]

Denture & Mouth Toothbrush

Designed for use by partial, full, and overdenture patients, the Denture & Mouth Toothbrush is the newest part of the company’s line of denture care products. This is said to be the first toothbrush that includes all of these features for denture, partial, overdenture, and fixed hybrid patients: an Ergonomic Grip Handle perfect for seniors and individuals with limited dexterity; a unique multi-layered bristle designed for cleaning ridges, tongue, palate, and cheeks; dual side heads for superior cleaning of grooves and hard to reach spaces; and extra soft bristles safe for cleaning prosthetics, gums and implants. It was developed by Dr Lorin Berland, who treated patients for 40 years.

[ At-Home Whitening ]

Crest Whitening Emulsions

Crest Whitening Emulsions leave-on teeth whitening treatment features a beauty-inspired formula in 2 varieties—with Built-in Applicator for On-The-Go and with Wand Applicator. The treatment starts working instantly and is said to deliver 5 times more active hydrogen peroxide, whitening teeth with virtually no sensitivity. It can be applied in seconds throughout the day and absorbs quickly—just swipe and go. It features a water-resistant hydrating base that protects from whitening-related sensitivity. Unlike toothpastes and paint-on gels that dilute away quickly, the product creates a micro-thin layer of active peroxide droplets said to stay on teeth 10 times longer for better, faster results.

It’s designed to help with digital treatment planning and to increase patient understanding of the benefits provided by Invisalign through enhanced visualizations of their personalized treatment outcome. The workflow combines Invisalign Photo Uploader for patient photos, the iTero intraoral scanner to capture the 3D model data needed, and ClinCheck Pro 6.0.

[ Air Purifier ]

ERIO DEPUR20

Air purifiers and sanitizers equipped with active electrostatic filtration and negative ionization such as the ERIO DEPUR20 are able to guarantee air purification and at the same time hygienic, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. This unit reportedly cleans the air from suspended particles such as pollen, spores, fumes, bacteria, and viruses. The system features a metal pre-filter, an electrostatic cell, UVC lamps, and activated carbon filter. The electrostatic cell allows for a high efficiency capturing particles smaller than 0.3 µm. Ideal for medical and dental surgeries, dental labs, waiting rooms etc., it is a very effective air sanitizer for limiting the spread of viruses and bacteria carried by aerosols.
