Dental Tribune United Kingdom Edition

23Industry NewsNovember 2013United Kingdom Edition SafeSeen – Ensuring Patient Consent SafeSeen’s new SafeSeen Touch is the new complete compliance suite. The tablet enables patients to check the details of treatments ensuring they are able to give informed consent and then provide a simple eSignature for future reference. Many practices have found that obtaining the correct patient consent can be a legal and logistical minefield. Not only do you want to provide the best care for your patients, but informed consent is also of course a strict requirement of the Governing Bodies. Having identified this problem, SafeSeen developed a new solution in their SafeSeen Touch. Dr Ian Hunt, Clinical and Managing Director of Maple Dental Care Ltd says:“Indeed the GDC directives make it important to get consent and a new medical history each time we meet a patient and I feel the SafeSeen Touch would be great for this. It is one area where we generate a lot of paperwork and the device will enable our patients to check their own details, change anything that needs updating and then sign it there and then.” To make sure your practice obtains proper patient consent every time, find out more about the SafeSeen Touch today.

Having already worked with Tavom product suppliers RPA Dental, for more than 10 years, Ann was delighted to receive the quality service she had come to expect from them: “Having become very comfortable with the standard of service RPA dental offer, we were more than happy to work with them to redesign and refurbish our surgeries. “During the initial design stages, we were particularly impressed that RPA Dental discussed the design options with several members of our practice team, not just the dentist, and this resulted in a much improved design. Their team’s knowledge and understanding of best practice in the industry was very apparent – they provided practical advice on material quality, colour schemes and relevant clinical equipment. “RPA Dental also provided us with accurate quotations, the predicted work schedule was realistic and well managed and carried out with the absolute minimum disruption. Overall, both RPA Dental and Tavom delivered a quality service on time and at the right price.

It represents a breakthrough in micro-invasive technology that reinforces and stabilises 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.

With their inquisitive tongues and short attention spans, treating children can be quite taxing! Therefore a self-etching and adhesive flowable composite that eliminates both the etching and bonding steps and the associated time expenditure is a real advantage. DMG’s NEW Constic self-etching and adhesive flowable composite solves this problem and saves valuable time too. Post-operative sensitivity is also markedly reduced. Constic is faster, easier, more gentle and reliable! This new 3-in-1 flowable composite combines etching gel, bonding agent and flowable composite in one single product. Consequently the Dentist eliminates both the etching and bonding steps and the associated time expenditure. Possible sources of error are also minimised – advantages not offered by conventional flowable composites requiring the use of a separate adhesive. As well as treating routine cavities in children, Constic can be used for fissure sealing, MID restorations including small Class I restorations and base linings in adults, repairing existing restorations and blocking out undercuts, all of which can be quickly carried out with Constic, which is simple to apply and then light-cured. As a pioneer of a new composite generation, Constic thereby reduces the amount of work required and enables increased freedom in the Practice.
