Excavating caries: check-ups are good, SIROInspect is better In May Sirona, technology leader in the dental industry, is bringing a detection system onto the market that enables dentists to identify reliably, quickly and simply where caries does or does not exist: SIROInspect. SIROInspect is based on Fluorescence-Aided Caries Excavation technology, known as FACE®, which exploits the fluorescence characteristics of teeth. If teeth are illuminated with violet light in the spectrum of around 405 nm, it doesn’t only stimulate degradation products of caries bacteria but also healthy dentine to fluoresce. Healthy dental tissue lights up green whereas carious areas are visibly red. The attending dentist can therefore see at first glance – and very clearly - which areas are carious and which ones are not.

ProtectYour Patients with Bib-Eze Bib-Eze™ dental bib holders from DUX Dental have been created specifically to optimize hygiene in the dental surgery. Researchers at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine recently proved dental bib clips to be a common source of bacteria in the practice . In fact, they found that 40% of bib clips tested post-disinfection retained one or more aerobic bacteria, and 70% retained one or more anaerobic bacteria. DUX Dental designed disposable Bib-Eze bib holders to eliminate the problem, and to ensure the safety of both you and your patients. Made from lightweight, elasticised fibre, Bib-Eze guarantees patient comfort, while also offering easy handling and application for a smooth and efficient workflow. Just peel, stretch to fit and stick the adhesive edge to any bib, and your patients are protected from any potential contamination. For a convenient and cost-effective way of keeping your patients safe, get your free trial Bib-Eze disposable bib holders from DUX Dental today.

As such they are perfectly situated to provide advice and guidance in all areas of dental contracts.

Specifically designed to accommodate dental partnerships, they cover the many scenarios that can result from such agreements. For instance clause 231 deals with how the composition of the contract can be changed without affecting its validity, and there are clauses that describe what must happen in the event of the death of a partner. Without professional assistance, understanding your GDS contract can cause real confusion and uncertainty. Goodman Grant Solicitors specialise in dental contracts and are able to help explain the many intricacies of the GDS contract to ensure that appropriate decisions are made.

Beth Saljughi says: “As soon as we discovered Roger Gullidge Design, and met Director Roger Gullidge, we knew he was the right person to help us make our vision a reality. “He was able to act as both architect and project manager, ensuring the whole process ran smoothly. Now the practice is complete we are both absolutely delighted with the result. Our ethos has always been one of care and commitment to patients, and we believe that this has been reflected in the final design. “It was of huge benefit to have Roger Gullidge with us throughout the project, right from its conception to realisation. He made sure that the fundamental design was what we wanted, that it conformed to building regulations and planning permission, and ensured that all necessary work ran without a problem. Roger Gullidge Design is a specialist design and project management consultancy specialising in the dental sector. Call 01278 784442 for more details or visit: www.rogergullidgedesign.com GC introduce the next generation of flowables GC Europe, the leader in dental materials technology is pleased to announce the launch of two superior flowable materials; G-ænial Universal Flo and G-ænial Flo, to give patients the best aesthetic, functional and durable restorations. Both flowable materials benefit from a composition that features a unique filler technology. Unlike other flowable composites the GC materials have a higher filler load and a homogeneous dispersion of fillers. G-ænial Universal Flo is radiopaque and features a high viscosity, making it ideal for placement in class I-V restorations. Essentially, it looks like a flowable but behaves like a restorative. Its indications are for direct restorations, minimum intervention cavities and fissure sealing. These restoratives are dispensed through an ergonomically designed syringe that enables smooth delivery of the material, with a tapered tip that means no paste can stick to it. The syringe size provides a comfortable hold and the arched shape of the flange fits the hand ergonomically. The design also prevents material waste because minimal residual paste remains in the syringe after use. For further information please contact GC UK on 01908 218 999.
