Exciting New Products from GC UK at BDA 2013 GC are at the forefront of research and development and regularly release new products to benefit you. The latest addition to the GC range is everX Posterior. This fibre- reinforced composite is designed to be used as dentine replacement, in conjunction with a conventional composite such as G-ænial Posterior used as enamel replacement. The short fibres of GC everX Posterior will make it a perfect sub-structure to reinforce any composite restoration in large size cavities. Fibres will also prevent and stop crack propagation through the filling, which is considered to be the main cause of composite failures. Thanks to its unique properties, GC everX Posterior opens new possibilities for restorations of extensive cavities at chairside and is the answer to the growing demand for an economic restorative alternative for big size cavities. Advances in glass technology have resulted in the development of hand mixed GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA, a high strength glass ionomer cement with a new generation of glass filler, resulting in a restoration with very high translucency that changes little over time. The result is natural aesthetics never before achievable with conventional glass ionomer. Please visit stand F02 at the BDA Exhibition for a hands-on experience or for further information please contact GC UK on 01908 218 999. Icon Drilling … No Thanks! Icon is DMG UK’s 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. The first product to bridge the gap between prevention (fluoride therapy) and caries restoration, Icon’s micro-invasive infiltration technology can be used to treat smooth surface and proximal carious lesions up to the first third of dentine. In just one visit Icon can arrest the progression of early enamel lesions and remove carious white spot lesions. Icon offers a simple alternative to the “wait and see” approach, enabling Dentists to offer an immediate treatment without unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure. It prevents lesion progression and increases life expectancy for the tooth. Providing a highly aesthetic solution, carious white spot lesions treated with Icon take on the appearance of the surrounding healthy enamel. Total treatment time is about 15 minutes.

The most common cause of bad breath/ halitosis, is the creation and exhalation of gaseous ‘volatile sulphur compounds,’ or VSCs, which are formed as the mouth bacteria break down food particles. While traditional mouth rinse treatments work by masking the smell, often only for a short time, CB12 has two active ingredients which combine to eliminate the VSCs at their source. A feature of CB12 is its ability to adhere to tissues inside the mouth, ensuring it remains effective for longer, and published clinical studies have shown it is effective for at least 12 hours. CB12 also contains fluoride to help prevent tooth decay, and promoting improved overall oral health. One strength, available in two flavours, mint menthol and mild mint menthol, to suit all patients. Delivering effective and instant protection from a single 10ml dose, CB12 is a clinically proven breakthrough in the elimination and management of bad breath.

The first of its kind, SonicFill enables clinicians to perform posterior restorations with an easy-to-use, single-step technology that combines the advantages of a flowable composite with a universal composite. SonicFill reduces the time needed for placing, packing and sculpting restorations by an incredible 30%. The SonicFill system combines the expertise of two leading dental companies, comprising a KaVo handpiece that enables sonic activation of a specially designed and conveniently delivered composite from Kerr. SonicFill’s proprietary sonic activation significantly reduces the composite’s viscosity, which provides effortless placement and superior adaptation. SonicFill quickly returns to a non-slumping, non-sticky and easy-to-sculpt state. The composite’s superior strength results in low shrinkage and high depth of cure up to 5mm with no need for any other material to cap. Furthermore, a specially designed ergonomic, small nozzle Unidose tip enhances access to the cavity and precise placement of the composite.

Onceyou’veworkedwithanLEDyou’reunliketogoback. Notonlydoesitilluminate the oral cavity with great clarity, but it also obviates the need for the portable light on your loupes which removes any shadow on your field of view, unlike portable lights,thatfrequentlythrowshadows.’The10shadow-lessbeamsemitexcellentlight colour, making it ideal for colour matching as well as reducing eye fatigue.The light can also be adjusted between 4,000 and 32,000 LUX to meet both individual needs and the lighting requirements in practices that may not have the luxury of natural daylight. As well as its flexibility, the LED operating light promises longevity, too, with a projected lifetime of an impressive 40,000 hours - or around 25 years for the average user. The light also emanates less heat and consumes less power, offering an estimated 80% power saving over a conventional bulb - so it’s environmentally friendly, too. Cross infection requirements are superbly met as well with the unit’s touchless sensor neatly turning the light on/off as well as allowing the user to switch to a composite cure mode setting so that you can work uninterrupted with composite-cure materials. As the 10 LED lights are encased in a one-piece cover, there’s no risk of dust or mist build-up and the unit is easily cleaned. Leaving the last word to one enthusiastic practitioner:‘More and more of us are utilising loupes to visualise our work and help diagnose disease but a good proportion of dentists are not using portable lights. By having an LED overhead light, you will avoid being trapped to a door handle because your battery pack cable, clipped to your waist, gets caught on the door handle.This happens many a time!’
