Biocleanse Ultra – cleans and disinfects in just one wipe! Dentisan has launched NEW Biocleanse Ultra; an all-in-one cleaner and disinfectant for medical device surfaces. Biocleanse Ultra has been developed as a new generation version of original Biocleanse, based on alcohol‐free technology with excellent cleaning, materials compatibility and wide spectrum disinfection, but now in a pH neutral formulation. The speed and cost saving in using a single stage process is clear, but it is the effectiveness of the dual cleaning and disinfecting power of Biocleanse Ultra that is outstanding. Alcohol‐based products can bind proteins and debris to surfaces which cannot be removed. Biocleanse Ultra is a wide spectrum microbiocide that cuts through contaminants, lifting them from surfaces and leaving a physically clean and disinfected surface in a single operation. And uniquely for a pH neutral product, it has proven efficacy against mycobacteria including TB, enveloped viruses such as Hepatitis B and C, HIV, bacteria, fungi and yeast and M.Tuberculosis. Biocleanse Ultra is further evidence of Dentisan’s commitment to manufacturing and marketing alcohol-free products. A FREE SAMPLE of NEW Biocleanse Ultra is available by viewing the video on-line at www.dentisan.co.uk Biocleanse Ultra is available as wipes, in a trigger spray and in concentrated liquid form, from Henry Schein Minerva tel: 08700 102043 and Claudius Ash tel: 0500 500 322 Septodont Leading the way with research and development Septodont is trusted all over the world; Septodont’s products are relied upon by thousands of dental professionals every day.

Research shows adjacent teeth are damaged in up to 70% of all cases. Until now, protection methods have the disadvantage that the shield loosens when the approximal contact point is cut away increasing the risk of accidental aspiration of the shield. The need for improved protection methods led the Swedish manufacturer Directa AB to design and develop FenderWedge – A plastic wedge with an attached vertical stainless steel band that protects the adjacent teeth and at the same time separates the teeth for an optimal restoration of the contact point. FenderWedge is securely held in place throughout the whole preparation. FenderWedge is inserted into the approximal space as easy as any other wedge. As the wedge creates interdental separation, the vertical steel band automatically establishes correct positioning for a good contact point. The comfort of knowing that 0.08mm of metal protection will help avoid needless damage to healthy teeth is simply priceless. FenderWedge is available in four different sizes from X-Small (1.0mm) to Large (2.3mm). They accommodate all interdental spaces.

But Software of Excellence has already produced an on- line appointment system that integrates with a practice’s recall management. This new approach features software that identifies patients due for recall on a daily basis according to defined criteria, pre-set by the practice. The software automatically sends recall messages via email or text with a link prompting the patient to access a practice-branded on-line booking facility, detailing available appointment times with the patient’s own clinician. This innovative software can also be used as a tool to attract new patients and giving patients who have been referred the means of immediately booking a new appointment without the constraints of practice opening hours. This innovative and ground-breaking solution not only provides a mechanism for patients who need an appointment, it is also an integral part of the recall process working via email and on smart phones, stimulating successful recall response rates, making a measurable and significant impact on the overall efficiency of a practice. EXACT™’s Online Appointment Booking Module is available from Software of Excellence, call 0800 328 6227 or visit www.soeidental.com for more details Cross Infection reduced Support stools help to reduce cross infection.
