Wednesday, 29 August 2012 Business 13www.fdiworldental.org I Premier Dental’s newest non-eu- genol resin cement was designed for implant-retained crowns. Ac- cording to the US company, it is alsosuitablefortemporarycemen- tation of provisional restorations where long-term or increased re- tention is desired. Made from a tough elastomeric resin,thematerialissaidtoprovide secure retention and an excellent marginal seal. Because the reten- tion is mechanical, the crown can be removed for adjustments or periodontal treatment without de- stroying the restoration, Premier said. Premier has announced to have a number of other innovative prod- ucts on display in Hong Kong. In addition to dental materials, the company offers practice hygiene products, instruments for different dental procedures, as well as cos- metic solutions like teeth whiten- ing kits. PREMIER DENTAL PRODUCTS COMPANY, USA www.premusa.com Booth C10 Premier Implant Cement I When US manufacturer Aribex introduced the first handheld dental X-ray system in 2005, the aim was to create an inherently safe X-ray device that could be held during radiograph exposure. Two models exist that are avail- abletocliniciansaroundtheworld (varies by jurisdiction). NOMAD Dental weighs 4 kg and features a pistol-grip design, with rechargeable NiCd battery. It generates sharp, clear images withdigitalsensors,conventional film, or phosphor plate systems. The next generation NOMAD Pro, available since 2008, weighs only 2.5 kg and has a rechargeable Li-poly battery in the handle. It alsofeaturesafull-colourLCDuser interface, preset exposure set- tings, and additional time-saving features in a sleek design. Each model is capable of taking hun- dreds of diagnostic-quality radi- ographs with a single charge. AccordingtoAribex,theNOMAD allows the operator to remain chairside with the patient during radiography. With the handheld X-ray system, not only can the op- erator stay in the room, they can also reassure anxious patients (including children). This makes the device a first choice for the treatment of special needs or sedated patients. It also shortens procedure time and reduces mis- takes and retakes, the company said. More than 30 independent evaluations and scientific studies have concluded the Aribex sys- tems are both effective and safe —made possible by patented shielding on the X-ray source and the leaded acrylic backscatter shield on the collimator cone, which protects the operator from reflected radiation. “The NOMAD has forever changed the way that dental radiography is performed,” said Dr Clark Turner, Aribex founder and CEO. “With over 10,000 units now currently in use, it has be- come a staple in dental operato- ries everywhere.” ARIBEX, USA www.aribex.com TWLDENTAL Booth E13 NOMAD Handheld X-ray The Low Radiation Sensor With the Best Images ray * Now available for Mac and Windows New Impact Protection Technology Low Radiation +- 40ms Faster Acquisition** Crystal Clear Images Compact & Portable USB System Superb AIM Filter Safety Cable Release CMOS FOP *CR Foundation, September 2011 **depending on PC + 1 408 227 6698 www.suni.com international@suni.com Also Available: Dr. Suni Plus, the worlds thinnest sensor!
