today IDS 2009 Show Preview

business36 Show Preview IDS Cologne 2009 As science and society con- tinue to develop, new ques- tions and challenges also arise for dental materials. Thus, IDS 2009 will be the platform for Kuraray’s new dual-curing, self-adhe- sive resin cement CLEARFIL SA Cement being introduced to the European market. With the innovative self- etching resin cement CLEAR- FIL SA Cement, Kuraray Eu- rope was able to create an- other important benefit for dental practices. Excess paste can now be removed in one piece or in larger bits with- out much effort. Kuraray’s unique adhesive monomer (MDP) ensures a consistent strong bond strength and low technical sensitivity. The high mechanical stability en- sures an excellent marginal seal. The auto-mix syringe as well as the optional dis- pensing gun (CLEARFIL DIS- PENSER) provide a direct and comfortable way of using the material without the ne- cessity or mixing. A precise application—even directly in- to the root canal—is possible with the use of the Endo tip. According to the company, CLEARFIL SA Cement can be used for the adhesive attach- ment of full ceramic, compos- ite, metal or zirconia crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. Kuraraywasestablishedin Kurashiki in Japan in 1926, and originally involved in the industrial production of syn- thetic fibers out of viscose. The company carried out in- tensive research and develop- ment work, creating a broad base of experience and tech- nology in the sectors polymer chemistry, chemical synthe- sis, and chemical engineer- ing. Thanks to its technologi- cal strength and comprehen- sive experience, Kuraray has been able to develop highly innovative products for many more selected fields of busi- ness such as the dental in- dustry. In 1978, for example, the company introduced the first bonding system CLEAR- FIL BOND SYSTEM-F to the market that marked the start of the age of adhesive den- tistry. At the same time, the company developed the “total-etch technique” for enamel and dentin. Today, Kuraray continues to pro- duce innovative high-quality products that are supposed to make history, such as PANAVIA F 2.0, CLEARFIL PROTECT BOND, CLEARFIL SE BOND and ESTENI C&B. These brands are proof of Kuraray’s capability to de- velop solutions for practice as a result of its pioneering re- search, the company says. Kuraray Medical Inc. has set itself the goal of meeting demands and requirements of dentistry to the very best of its ability, now and in the fu- ture. The company aims to en- sure that dentists will always have a reliable partner in this company by maintaining an intensive, regular exchange of information with its cus- tomers, through comprehen- sive research and develop- ment, and ongoing training. A partner who has the capa- bility to offer solutions for a new era of protective filling therapy. Kuraray Europe, Germany www.kuraray-dental.eu Hall 3.2, Booth C030/E039 By Dental from Italy will in- troduce the Sky Light Whiten- ing System at IDS Cologne. The system will include the whitening lamp Sky Light Export and the bleaching agent By X-tra 38% which is based on 38 per cent hydrogen peroxide. Sky Light Export is powered by 12 light emitting diodes (LED’s) to provide enough power to bleach up to16 teeth in only one session. It is an er- gonomic wireless sys- tem and has a flexible arm that allows to move the lamp’s posi- tion freely. An LED dis- play features a timer and bleaching cycle countdown. The cool blue light with a wavelength of 465 nm gives the oper- ator the possibility to polymerise the gingi- val dam. Sky Light Export al- lows to obtain a colour scale reduction up to eight degrees in just one session, the com- pany says. The extremely al- kaline ph level of 8 of the agent By X-tra 38% will give the operator quicker results and reduces post-ses- sion sensitivity of the treated area. It is avail- able in a bi-component syringe to keep the hy- drogen peroxide cham- ber separated from the activator chamber and provide durability and reliability. According to the company, the Sky Light Export will be deliv- ered ready to go. It is equipped with re- searchable batteries and has a operating time of 90 minutes. A optional mechanical clamp will be also available to fix the lamp to other office interior if needed. By Dental, Italy www.bydental.com Hall 11.1, Booth E050 Teeth whitening with Sky Light Export EKOM from Slovakia has an- nounced to introduce the new compressor line DK 50 aim- ing at dental practices and laboratories at IDS Cologne. Among the biggest advan- tages of new compressor line is the changed design, expan- sion of life-time, noise and vi- bration reduction, lower en- ergy consumption, as well as better maintenance. The first compressors of the smallest range were already supplied to the customers in 2008 and received positive acceptance, the company says. Recently, the company has extended their production offer with compressors of higher working pressure— 2 cylinder compressors up to 12 bar. They also managed to increase the number of com- pressor accessories, such as an automatic drain system, suction unit with silencer (with filtration) or a decom- pression valve. The new de- sign of the soundproofing boxes follows latest trends in interior dental surgery equipment. Therefore, the boxes of the larger models are equipped with more indicators and control compo- nents. EKOM’s productrange mainly consists of oil- free dental compres- sors, suction units as well as accessories. They were designed for use in dental surgeries, dental laboratories and for small and middle sizedcentralairsupply systems. According to the company, their main objective is tomanufactureprod- ucts that meet the highest demands of the dental market and to con- stantly improve product qual- ity and the quality of the man- ufacturing technology. They are also determined to enter new markets with sources of high quality oil- free pressurised air as well as to make their name well known around the world.
