The company, which was founded in a small den- tal laboratory by Wolfgang Dreve in 1949, enjoys a worldwide reputation for high-quality dental products. The main fields Dreve is working in are the development of silicones for use in dentistry, CAD/CAM, light-polymerisation, thermoforming, resin pouring, as well as the construction of den- tal units. These products are complemented by a considerable range ofdentalma- terials. Dreve claims to have contributed essentially to the spreading of the silicone duplication tech- nique in Europe, but dental specialists also appre- ciate their products for CAD/CAM and implantol- ogy. Dreve products are made to ensure working processes and ease daily operations, the company says. Besides the accurate processing and the use of high-quality raw materials, decades of manu- facturingexperienceguaranteeforexcellentqual- ity standards.

Dreve Dentamid, Germany www.dreve.de Hall 10.2, Booth T030 Precise impression silicones and disinfectants will by on display at the booth of Müller-Omicrom in hall 4.2. The German company—formed by a merger between two separate compa- nies two years ago—says to focus not only on their client’s benefits but also on improved security of their prod- ucts. Dentasept AF Plus, for example, is a high effective concentrate for cleaning and disinfection that offers higher value through a concentration rate of 1 per cent, as well as an ex- tended action spectrum and wider indication. It is aldehyde and phenol free and can be used for all dental instruments. By using an ultrasonic bath the effectiveness time is 5 min only. In the field of impression taking, a new scannable, addition-curing knead- able silicone for the data entry in dental laboratories will be introduced. The gammasil Perfect Tec3D features special optical reflection activity and, therefore, suits for the powderless, optical 3-D registration and data entry of CAD/CAM and CIM registration. Easy cutting is allowed through a final hardness of Shore A95. The monophase material betasil Vario Implant was developed espe- cially for the requirements of implants and transfer impressions. The pronounced hydro- philic properties provide for a high and dense wetting of the surface with detailed reproduc- tion also in a moist oral environment. Accurate transfer and fixation of the transfer posts are guaranteed through high precision and coordi- nated final hardness. Betasil Vario Implant can be used as tray or syringe material and for other precision impressions, such as inlay/onlay, crowns and bridges or functional impressions. According to the company, the time in the mouth is only two minutes with a pleasant mint flavour.
