Dr Ed Williams, from Penarth Dental Practice started using WaveOne very early on and has been impressed very quickly:“It is very good and has swept away all previous issues with rotary root treatments. (We can work more quickly and patients spend less time in the chair.”) DENTSPLY, who firmly established their position as market leaders with ProTaper™, introduced WaveOne in response to clinicians who wanted reliable, cost-effective, ‘preparation controlled’ results and those wanting to explore rotary endodontics for the first time. The company also offers support and training for new WaveOne users. Dr Williams bought his WaveOne through the DENTSPLY Rewards website, and although he would have had to replace equipment anyway, the rewards system was“an extra bonus”. Again, the DENTSPLY sales specialist was on hand to help and Dr Williams says it was relatively easy and he will definitely use the rewards website again.

SDR™ Smart Dentine Replacement represents a significant breakthrough in making posterior restorations less time-consuming and cumbersome for dentists. Dr Adrian Hotham, practising in Doncaster, SouthYorkshire, is one of the many dentists who has seen the benefits of using SDR. “Having used other flowables for the past three years or so, SDR is the product I will be using in the future, not only as a liner but also as a bulk fill base.” “Its advantages are the ease of placement and the fact that I can bulk fill up to 4mm rather than having to slowly build up in 2mm increments, which makes it quicker to place restorations.” “Unlike other flowables, SDR doesn’t slump or run out. It handles well and finds its own level. It goes where you put it and it stays there.” “The packaging has been well designed. The compula form is much easier to use than having to deal with a tube; SDR can be placed directly with the Compula® delivery tip.” For more information about this exceptional new product, contact your local representative.

Best behaviour - improving patient’s oral health compliance Improving patient compliance is seen as key to improving oral health and one which Philips has dedicated considerable R & D resources to tackling. Such research includes studies carried out by Philips before the launch of its latest and clinically superior sonic toothbrush, DiamondClean which shows that it removes 100 per cent more plaque in hard to reach places than a manual toothbrush, improves gum health in two weeks and is clinically proven to whiten teeth naturally in one week. The newly configured tufting on the brush head also features reminder bristles which fade in colour after three months use to prompt users to replace the brush head to continue to brush optimally. Further research conducted by Philips showed that 30 per cent of the population could benefit from more effective interdental cleaning and the company launched Sonicare AirFloss, a first-of- its-kind innovation which uses ‘microburst’ technology to remove plaque and particles from between the teeth. Studies showed that after one month of using Sonicare AirFloss 96 per cent of patients who flossed irregularly continued to use it at least four times per week. For more information about ways in which Sonicare products can change patients’oral health behaviour please visit. www.sonicare.co.uk/dp Effective interdental cleaning with Tandex With the recent launch of its Flexi Max interdental brush at the British Dental Association Conference in May 2011, the Danish company Tandex’ reputation for excellence in the dental industry has been confirmed. As an adjunct to the popular Tandex Flexi range of interdental brushes, the Flexi Max is the ideal answer for those patients who find interproximal cleaning difficult. Many patients, including the younger and older patients, as well as those wearing fixed orthodontic appliances and experiencing manual dexterity problems, find string floss difficult to use and consequently, compliance is low. However, the Tandex Flexi Max is designed with an angled head and long, soft grip handle, which helps with visibility and manoeuvrability. With a range of colour-coded handles to make picking the right size a breeze, the Tandex Flexi Max is suitable for every dental patient. Preventative dentistry relies on finding a way to help people help themselves, so for a simple, manageable way for your patients to take control of their interdental cleaning, recommend the Flexi Max - another great quality product from Tandex.
