business 27AEEDC Dubai 2014 AD Dental manufacturer NTI from Germany is to present new instru- mentsatthisyear’sAEEDCDubai, including cutters for achieving uniform surfaces on non-precious metals, as well as glass fibre posts and instruments for inlay prepa- ration.Thelatterweredesignedto meet the demand for smooth cav- ity floors through correct func- tional and instrumental realisa- tion,particularlyinaestheticsolu- tions. The InPrep achieves exact and super-smooth results in seconds, according to the company. It fea- tures a central inactive guide sur- face intended to prevent un- wanted preparation at greater depths. Owing to its upright posi- tioning,theInPrepthusmaintains thesetdepthwhilethefloorofthe cavity is prepared to a smooth fin- ish. NTI has also an- nounced a revolution in glass fibre post technol- ogy with its FiberMaster TopHead. The heads were developed for the posts based on the company’s re- liable conical FiberMaster toensuresecurefixationof temporary prostheses. Ac- cording to the company, re- peated endodontic treat- ment with simultaneous stabilisation of the tooth is now possible. The risk of breakage is significantly re- duced, since the post is in- serted two-thirds into the prepared tooth, it said. The head can be positioned ac- cording to the length of the post, which allows the post length in theroottobefullyutilisedwithout having to compromise stability of the head. The axial and lateral masticatory forces are thus com- pletely transferred to the pre- pared tooth. According to NTI, the head can also be used without a post, a fea- ture that allows the secure fixing of a temporary prosthesis before endodontic treatment has been conducted, even with severely damaged teeth. The hole in the TopHeadisintendedtoenablefur- ther endodontic treatment to be performed without losing the re- tention strength of the temporary prosthesis. In addition, NTI said that its non-precious metal alloy cutters feature a newly developed blade configuration with perfectly uni- form surfaces. With the help of an optimised cutting geometry that prevents chipping of the cutting edges, material can therefore be removed more efficiently for a longer service life. Working time is also reduced with the help of a negativecuttingangle,whichalso guarantees a high removal rate. A gentleworkingpressureproduces a previously unobtainable sur- face that makes polishing easier.
