These gaps can be minimised depending on fabrication precision. However, they are never completely bacteria-proof. Already 16 years ago, the Clinic for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Heinrich-Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany under the direction of Prof. Dr. Dr. Fritzemeier has started to find a solution to this problem. GapSeal ® (Hager & Werken) is based on a special silicon matrix ingredient composition which prevents infiltration of bacteria. It is used directly after fitting of the implant with the first fixing of the locking screw. The implant is then durably protected against inflammations by bacteria, viruses and fungi from the very beginning. GapSeal® is most easy in application as the material is offered in small portion tips, together with a special applicator. A short product video can be found at www.hagerwerken.de or YouTube Fig: GapSeal® seals implant gaps and hollow spaces True versatility Scotchbond Universal from 3M ESPE is the only adhesive you’ll ever need. It achieves high and consistent bond strength in total-etch and self- etch mode and is also suitable for selective- etch.

The Dental Defence Union (DDU) recommends use of the Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) to help reduce the risk of a claim for failing to diagnose periodontal disease. First produced by the British Society of Periodontology in 19862, the BPE is a simple screening tool to identify your patient’s periodontal status. All patients should have the BPE performed and their score recorded, which will enable you, as a dental professional, to advise them on how to best protect their gum health. With over 30 years’ gum care expertise, Corsodyl® is committed to helping dental professionals to identify the signs of periodontitis as early as possible. Corsodyl® has recently launched two free materials to help in the identification and prevention of gum disease, using the BPE.“Gum Health – A Practitioner’s Guide” is a handy booklet designed to refresh your knowledge of the BPE, as well as the signs, symptoms and risk factors. Visit www.gsk-dentalprofessionals.co.uk to request your free copy. Compatible with iPhones and iPads, the Corsodyl® “Guide to BPE & Gum Health” mobile app is designed to be a quick reference tool for the BPE. It features a description and clinical image of each BPE code and a summary of recommended treatment. To download the free app, visit the iTunes App Store and search“BPE app”. 3 for 2 on Clean Between Interdental Brushes!

The material owes its strength and aesthetics to 3M ESPE’s unique nanotechnology. The company discovered that if nanoparticles were formed into small, medium and large clusters, those clusters won’t dislodge – so the material preserves its polish finish whilst also retaining the strength afforded by the presence of small, medium and large particles within its matrix. Filtek Z500 universal composite is suitable for both direct and indirect anterior and posterior restorations including inlays, onlays and veneers. It also features reduced stickiness and is available in eight universal shades and one opaque shade. Find out more about the latest addition to the Z-family and call 3M ESPE today.
