VOCO – The Dentalists VOCO presents several innovative products at the Dentistry Show 2014, such as Futurabond U, the market’s only true dual-curing universal adhesive offering usage in a disposable applicator. Besides the incredibly simple handling of SingleDose, the new Futurabond U offers practitioners an outstanding range of options for application, as much with regard to indications as to selection of the etching technique or the curing mode. This universal adhesive is fully compatible with all light-curing, dual-curing and self-curing methacrylate-based composites and is suitable for both direct and indirect restorations. Applied in a single layer, Futurabond U creates a strong bond to enamel and dentine, thus ensuring a durable, gap-free bond between the dental hard tissue and the restorative material. At the same time it offers firm adhesion to different materials such as metal, zirconium/aluminium oxide and silicate ceramics without any additional primer. Manufacturer: VOCO GmbH, P.O.

New treatment centre, SINIUS TS, offers maximum flexibility The SINIUS TS treatment centre from Sirona sets standards when it comes to flexibility and the technical support of the most ergonomic working position possible: With the OTP unit, the tray can be moved in all directions independently, thus allowing it to be flexibly positioned near the patient without having to readjust the dentist element. This solution not only offers practitioners unique freedom of movement ‒ it is also easier than ever to work in an ergonomic position in every situation. Thanks to the practical clip system, the tray can be easily removed and cleaned. In addition, the large placement area on the dentist element and tray provide more than enough space. SINIUS TS has particularly compact dimensions thanks to its functional and space-saving support arm system. Like its siblings, SINIUSTS is equipped with the intuitive EasyTouch touchscreen interface, which also allows the dentist to control the optional integrated endodontics function with a stored file library and ApexLocator. To save time while complying with hygiene regulations, sanitation adapters have been integrated into the SINIUS centers, which makes sanitation bowls superfluous.

A & C. Houston & Associates in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, who had his 14 surgery practice renovated by Roger Gullidge Design. Dr Houston goes on to say: “We had a good, frank and professional working relationship with them and they gave appropriate guidance where required, and their extensive knowledge of the law helped us avoid potential legal pitfalls. There is no doubt in my mind that having an extra pair of hands when managing the project was hugely beneficial, especially whilst I was attending to my clinical responsibilities. The delegation of project management was a first for me, and it proved to be invaluable in both ensuring that my practice ran as smoothly as possible alongside the build, and liaising between contractors, suppliers and myself.” If you are thinking of building or refurbishing a practice, then Roger Gullidge Design’s extensive knowledge and experience will help you achieve beyond your expectations.
