DMG UK Visit Stand K27 and see the NEW Flairesse from DMG UK! Visitors to Stand K27 will be able to see all the latest innovations from DMG UK including their NEW Flairesse prophylaxis system, which offers the choice between paste, foam, gel or varnish, all containing xylitol and fluoride. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener which reduces the cariogenicity of plaque. Clinical studies have proven its cariostatic and anticariogenic effect. Similarly, there is no question that fluorides are important for dental health. The NEW Flairesse prophylaxis system is the latest addition to DMG’s preventative range which also includes Icon, their revolutionary treatment for incipient caries and carious white spot lesions…without drilling! Icon is an innovative caries infiltration therapy. It represents a breakthrough in micro-invasive technology that reinforces and stabilizes demineralised enamel without the need for drilling or sacrificing healthy tooth structure. It offers a simple alternative to the “wait and see” approach, enabling Dentists to offer an immediate treatment without unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure. Total treatment time about 15 minutes.

If you’re looking for a motor to make implant surgery easier for you and more pleasant for your patient, look no further than Acteon’s i-surge and i-surge + units. The i-surge + is a powerful motor in a robust aluminium case with reliable electronic speed and torque control. This high technology, autoclavable micromotor offers high power in any surgical procedure, and a smooth, stable motion to ensure precision. There are no brushes and no lubrication is needed, making the micromotor totally maintenance-free. A special “No-Drop” system eliminates additional irrigation leakage when pump flow is stopped. The calibration system on both of these units guarantees a perfect match between the micro-motor and the contra-angle prior to use for setting exact values. With five customizable, memorized programs, seven contra-angle ratios, compatibility with all contra-angles - thanks to E-type – ISO 3964 connection - and a large multifunction footswitch equipped with pressure sensors for an extended life, you will soon find these motors indispensable in practice. If you need to transport implant equipment, the i-surge is your ideal choice. It is the most compact implantology motor on the market, but still retains all the key features.
