While reducing hypersensitivity is just one of the comprehensive range of oral health benefits delivered by Oral-B Pro-Expert toothpaste, for people who experience this painful condition it will probably be enough by itself! Experienced by a wide cross-section of the population, most notably when eating or drinking cold food and drinks or taking a gasp of cold air, hypersensitivity is caused by nerves which are stimulated in the dentine layer of teeth exposed by tooth wear or periodontal disease. Stabilised stannous fluoride, researched in both laboratory and clinical studies acts by partially or completely blocking the tiny tubules of which dentine is composed. As a multi- benefit dentifrice, the all-in-one oral health advantages of Oral-B Pro-Expert toothpaste are not only clearly understandable for professionals. Patients who suffer from hypersensitivity will soon also appreciate its advantages in relieving this condition through advanced technological research. By improving gum health and helping to reduce the risk of erosion, Pro-Expert toothpaste will also help guard against the causes of sensitivity for future peace of mind.

This uniquely shaped implant eliminates the common compromise between marginal bone levels and aesthetics in sloped alveolar ridge situations. The implant design meets a clinical need: it facilitates implant placement when there is a sloped ridge and optimizes implant position to maintain marginal bone support and aesthetics. “The sloped design lets the implant adapt to the anatomy rather than letting the anatomy adapt to the implant design; this works particularly well for placement in the aesthetic zone,” says Professor Dr Wilfried Wagner, of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Department for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Germany. Due to the sloped neck of this dental implant, Astra Tech recommends that dental professionals who use this product have extensive implant treatment knowledge.

Prestige Medical launches new Equipment Test Kits for HTM 01-05 Compliance Prestige Medical say that the new kits are in response to increasing requests from dentists for help with the challenges of meeting the requirements for testing, recording and storing data. Each kit is designed to provide, in one simple format, all the materials needed to perform the appropriate daily/ weekly/quarterly tests for the entire year. A specially-designed log book is also provided into which to record the test data obtained. This eliminates the time consuming task of the practice needing to establish what checks and tests are needed, sourcing all the individual test materials and having a suitable system where results can be stored – all necessary in order to meet the ‘essential practice requirements’now expected by the CQC. David Robinson, Commercial Director, commented: “We believe that we are the first company to bring such a comprehensive range of kits to market. They are designed to offer added value to our customers and maintain the Prestige Medical position as a leading dental decontamination solution provider.” There are three kits available: Autoclave Kit (illustrated), Washer Disinfector Kit and Ultrasonic Cleaner Kit. More information is available by calling 01254 844 103 or email: sales@ prestigemedical.co.uk For more information contact: Christine Bowness on 01254 844 101 or email christine.bowness@prestigemedical.co.uk Strength in depth Chairside time savings with new Venus® Bulk Fill flowable composite Chairside time savings on deep restorations using Venus® Bulk Fill flowable composite have been confirmed by the findings of an independent study conducted by the Reality Research Lab in USA. Compared to incremental build-up for deep cavities, the Reality report stated that ‘placing a thicker layer can speed up the procedure, which is what most of us want’. The Reality study said that because the new range of bulk fill composites, ‘don’t put significant shrinkage stresses on the developing bond’ they should be able to be placed ‘in relatively thick layers (about 4mm)’. Reality’s findings reinforce the results of an Integrated Media survey last year in USA which reported that more than four out of five dentists surveyed claimed‘savings of up to ten hours of chairside time per month’when they use a bulk fill material. Introductory Offer: Buy three get one free Heraeus has a ‘Buy three get one free’ introductory offer on Venus® Bulk Fill Syringe and PLT refill packs. Simply phone 01635 30500 to place an order which will be supplied by your usual dental dealer.
