Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein www.ivoclarvivadent.com Hall 11.3, Booth A15–C39 An US leader in soft-tissue lasers, Zap Lasers, is exhibiting its family of easy-to-use lasers for the first time at this year’s IDS. According to the company, not only does the exhibition serve as Zap’s introduction to the European market, it also marks the start of the com- pany’s search for more interna- tional distributors. “We sell our lasers direct in the United States, but work with a market-expert distribu- tor in some Asian countries,” says Zap Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Alex Di Sessa. “Their expertise has earned us great growth and weunderstandthat to emulate the same success in Europe, we need a partner who under- stands the European market’s nuances and needs.” Zap has been manufacturing and distributing soft-tissue la- sers for more than 10 years and offers a wide selection of lasers for both general dentists and specialists. Since its introduc- tion in the US in May 2008, the Styla, for example, has become one of the industry’s best-sel- ling soft-tissue lasers. This first completely wire-free microlaser boasts all of the power and func- tionality of its tabletop counter- parts in a 56 gram pen-like de- sign that is 20 times lighter than any other soft-tissue laser on the market, the company says. Styla, and its orthodontic counterpart, StylaOrtho, is just the latest in Zap’s line of soft-tis- sue lasers. This product line up alsoincludesSoftLaseProthatin- troduced one of dentistry’s first touch-screen control interfaces and voice confirmation features.

Zap Lasers, United States www.zaplasers.com Hall 4.2, Booth M058 Zap Lasers makes IDS debut The principle behind photo activated disinfection (PAD) is theuseofaspecificlightsource to activate a photosensitizer, which serves as a catalyst in transformingoxygenmolecules into highly reactive oxygen specimens, such as negatively charged oxygen ions and oxy- gen radicals. As the photosen- sitizer has an extremely high affinity to bacterial mem- branes, the bacteria are in- stantly destroyed when the re- active oxygen specimens are formed. The technique is espe- ciallyusefulintheoralcavityas it disrupts the biofilm in which the bacteria are embedded. With FotoSan, CMS Dental from Denmark introduces a PAD system that is able to treat a wide range of in- dications including caries, endodontics, periodontics, periimplantitis, gingivitis, andpericoronitis.Anintrokitin- cludingtwoautoclavablecovers for the light head, blunt tips for surface treatment and long tips for more profound treatment andendodontics,will beavailabletovisi- tors of IDS for a budgetprice of 999 Euros.
