Now every patient can switch from manual to power brushing Oral-B introduces “TriZone” a new way of electric (power) tooth brushing. Power brushes are better than manual. This has been supported by a multitude of in vitro- and in vivo-studies since Oral-B first introduced their oscillating-rotating toothbrush in 1991. If patients see power oral care as superior why then do they not adopt it? The new TriZone gives them the opportunity to keep a manual feeling whilst taking advantage of the benefits afforded by power technology. This new brush provides far better cleaning results than using a manual brush. The technical basis for TriZone is a triple-zone action with pulsating, sweeping, and stationary bristles featuring a dynamic angled power tip. It’s a manual brush head design combined with an electric drive still performing 3D, but with a sweeping rather than oscillating-rotating action. TriZonewillofferdentalprofessionalsandpatientsanadditionaltool/technology to switch from manual to power. Adding TriZone to their list of most preferred oral care products, a dental practice will be able to give a recommendation for superior power oral care to a broader spectrum of patients.

This exciting development in CBCT technology allows the integration between Sirona’s CEREC CAD/CAM software and Sirona’s Galileos CBCT X-ray data. Surgical and prosthetic planning can now be performed precisely and safely in a single visit. Until now CBCT was limited to hard tissue images and lacked the ability to capture periodontal tissue data. For the very first time in CBCT imaging, the periodontal tissues can now be evaluated for location and thickness in 3D as it relates to the hard tissue - thanks to CEREC surface data For further information please contact: Sirona Dental Systems 0845 071 5040 Info@sironadental.co.uk Smile-on impresses delegates at the BDA Conference and Exhibition 2012 This year’s BDA conference was another great success, with thousands of delegates in attendance.

Water Pik, Inc.’s director of professional and clinical affairs, Deborah Lyle, gave an enlightening lecture on key areas of concern when maintaining proper oral hygiene with the presence of implants. Attendees at the lecture learned how only 22 per cent of adults in the UK reported using manual floss regularly, and other studies have shown there is little evidence supporting that routine flossing is even of benefit to patients with gingivitis . One study has shown a Waterpik® Water Flossers to be twice as effective at reducing gingival bleeding as manual floss. Ms Lyle posits that dentists, hygienists and therapists must gain personal understanding of their patients in order to properly and effectively offer advice, recommending that delegates look into the relevant CPD course on patient coaching at www.waterpik.co.uk/professional/index.html . Deborah Lyle and Water Pik would like to thank all who attended, and very much look forward to seeing everyone again at next year’s event.
