Get a feel for perfection with the new Piezon Master 700: versatile, simple and hygienic New Piezon Master 700 The formula for no pain The new Piezon Master 700 is a symbiosis of intelligent tech- nology and unequaled precision. A perfect match between the Original Piezon LED handpieces and the Piezon No Pain module for instrument movements perfectly aligned with the tooth. An incom- parable fit when used with EMS Swiss Instruments made of ultra- fine biocompatible surgical steel. The result is a treatment, which irritates neither teeth nor gin- giva — and which delivers extra smooth tooth surfaces without abrading the oral epithelium. This development from Swiss-based E.M.S. Electro Medical Systems comes close to perfection. Still more features result in an easier and quicker handling for more efficiency without affecting patient comfort. Everyone benefits, all feel good — patient, practitioner, the whole practice. Features Versatile Two integrated bottles, two handpieces, two magnetic hand- piece holders and a multifunction- al foot control allow for a versatile use of the Piezon Master 700. Cus- tomers choose and easily switch between different antiseptic solu- tions, a variety of handpieces and tips, between endo and standard mode. By simply switching on or off ultrasound, irrigation or power boost, they personalize the PM700 for each treatment and applica- tion. Versatility means personal- ization. Simple With the Touch N’ Go front panel, the customer benefits from a hygienic and user-friend- ly interface. All settings (power, treatment mode) are operated by touch on a highly sensitive panel, which reacts even through surgi- cal gloves. Blue LEDs clearly display the current setting. Moreover, a mod- ern flat design without joints or gaps is easily wiped and cleaned, and does not leave any space where debris, residue or bacteria may hide. Hygienic Benefit from the unit’s intuitive and automatic cleaning mode and follow the exact progress of the cleaning process. Of course, the Piezon handpiece LED, EMS Swiss Instruments and accessories are sterilizable up to 135 degrees Cel- cius. Safe for you and your patient! Unique With its 17 increments, the power setting perfectly suits any individual clinical requirement. The gentle start for endo applica- tions will be gradually enhanced for scaling and preparation appli- cations and finally boosted for restorative treatments. Simultane- ously, continuous feedback control combines with intelligent Piezon No Pain technology to deliver a smooth sinus signal for gentle and pain-free treatment. Optimum instrument control and maximum visibility thanks to the LED’s cir- cular light emission result in fore- most efficiency in all applications. The right formula for smooth tooth surfaces, maximum protec- tion of the gums and virtually painless treatment.

The procedure A pre-operative impression is taken and set aside before preparation of a four-unit bridge. After prep- aration, Oxford Temp is placed in the pre-operative impression and placed back into the patient’s mouth on the preparations. After about 90 seconds, the pre-opera- tive impression is removed and the provisional is trimmed for detail. After marking the provisional margins and contact areas, mark the interproximal lines on both the buccal and lingual surfaces of the provisional to contour the inter- proximal separations. Place the separating disk in the handpiece and start with the interproximal separations between the margins to a depth of around 1 millimeter. Use the separating disc in the interproximal area of the occlusal to give the look of single teeth. On the pre-molars, use carbide to contour the areas shown to define the buccal cusps. Make the mesial cusps on the lower first molars bolder than the distal cusps. Contour buccal and lingual cusps. Work down into the depres- sions, rounding off the sharp inter- proximal edges. This gives the look of individual teeth. When trying in the provisional, check to see that there is going to be plenty of room for the patient to floss. Starting in the central fossa, carve through the occlusal sur- face and down the buccal sur- face through the middle third area. With a pin grasps, apply enough pressure with the carbide to create a well-defined groove. Start in the distal fossa and work toward the distal at a 45-degree angle to pro- duce the extra disectional groove. Contour through the occlusal table and curve down the buccal surface toward the distal. On the lower sec- ond molar, start in the central fossa and go through the occlusal table. Curve the groove slightly toward the distal on the buccal surface and polish. By using occlusal stains (Tetric Color, Ivoclar/Vivident; or Kolor Plus, Kerr), you can give the appearance of natural stain. Use a small amount, as this can be intense. Dry the preparations, then with the dual cure Oxford Temp Cem, load the restoration and seat. Allow the material to set and remove the excess and adjust the bite. Conclusion With increased demands being placed on provisional restorations, new materials and techniques are being developed and some exist- ing protocols are being refined to accomplish desired goals. With the increase in patient demands for immediate esthetic results, provisional restorations need to mimic the final result in all aspects of shade, length, form and position, and the choice in dental material needs to be esthetic and functional like the final restoration.
