Business Friday, 12 September 2014 16 www.fdiworldental.org IVITA Zahnfabrik aims to continue the success story of its VITA metal ceramics with the introduction of VITA VMK Master. The new ceramic, an extension of theVMK generation for veneering metal frameworks in the conventional CTE range, fea- tures high flexural strength and temperaturechangestability.Other benefitsofVITAVMKMasterinclude a low acid solubility and first-class processing characteristics. A perfect compound—also for use with non-precious alloy frame- works—VMK Master provides dental technicians with an uncompromising material in terms of safety and aes- thetics, according to VITA. Owing to easy handling with the STANDARD layering consisting of dentine and enamel, aesthetic reproductions can be achieved quickly and safely. A comprehensive range of comple- mentary materials offers the best conditions for efficient realisation of patients’ individual features, the manufacturer said. VMKMasterisavailableintheorigi- nal VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER and VITAPAN classical A1–D4 shades. Only the VITA label guarantees an exact and nature-like reproduction of the originalVITA tooth shades. For more than 50 years, VITA Zahn- fabrik has been supporting dental technicians all over the world with state-of-the-art veneering materi- als. In keeping with the rest of the company’sportfolio,VITAVMKMas- ter is distinguished by the most ad- vanced manufacturing processes and high-quality materials. VITA ZAHNFABRIK, GERMANY www.vita-zahnfabrik.com Booth B13 AnewadditiontoVITAmetalceramics IDental equipment manufacturer SOREDEX has improved image quality for its dental imaging sys- tem CRANEX 3D with SOREDEX Ad- vanced Reconstruction Algorithm (SARA) and SOREDEX Metal Arte- fact Reduction (SMAR). The new technologies allows clinicians to detect clearly small anatomical de- tails like small fractures or endo- dontic root fillings and reduce the effect of metals and other dense ra- diopaque objects on the 3-D image which usually create artefacts that are typically displayed as stripes and shadows. The CRANEX 3D with the new ENDO 3D mode aims at endo- dontists who require very high im- age resolution. Its Endo imaging modes provide accuracy required for endodontic imaging with 85 μm voxel size and SMAR (90 kV, 10 mA), the manufacturer said. According to Soredex, Easy- Scout and PickPoint enable accu- rate FOV positioning in all dental and facial areas. Adjustable rigid temple support and motorized chin rest ensure high stability with all facial FOV positions during 3-Dimaging minimising movement artefacts. With the novel patient positioning, the CBCT imaging in CRANEX 3D works smooth and fast. SOREDEX, FINLAND www.soredex.com Booth C52–55 SOREDEX adds new technologies to CRANEX 3D IDental implants are the fastest- growing segment in dentistry, and new devices and treatment solu- tions are launched every day. With its NobelClinician software, pre- mium provider Nobel Biocare has broughtthelatesttechnologiesto- gether to make selecting the right dental implant treatment as easy as possible and offer outcomes for patientsthataremorepredictable. NobelClinician allows dentists to plan implant treatments with con- fidenceandprecisionbyassessing detailed3-Dpatientscans,accord- ing to Nobel Biocare. Options are easily selected on a screen, taking into account the availability of bone and prosthetic needs, and other important factors. Based on its precise measurements, the software has the ability to caution users when a treatment plan places implants close to areas marked as sensitive by the user, such as nerves or roots. As teeth can be extracted virtually, all possible treatment options can be explored. NobelClinician has its own virtual assistant, named “Os- car”, which was developed not only to guide the user through the plan- ning process, but also to help him or her understand the software fea- tures to ensure that all of the necessary aspects have been considered during formulation of the treatment plan. I Oscaristhe NobelClini- ciansoftware’s built-invirtualassistant andguidestheuser throughthetreatment planningprocess. Collaboration with other clinicians is facilitated by the possibility of sending reports quickly and se- curely at any stage in the process through the NobelConnect network to the dentist who originally re- ferred the patient, a dental techni- cian or a radiologist. The NobelClin- ician viewer allows information to be reviewed by other clinicians at no charge, even if they are not users of the software. As patient information can be accessed remotely from any computer that has the software in- stalled, clinicians are able to plan treatmentfromhomeandwhentrav- elling. Where NobelClinician, however, is really supposed to excel is through its visualisation features that are intended to help clini- cians explain treatment propos- als to their patients. While the NobelClinician Communicator app can bring treatment options to life through an interactive iPad presen- tation, according to Nobel Biocare, clear images taken from the Nobel- Clinician software provide patients with understanding and confidence regardingtheselectedimplantsolu- tion.

NOBEL BIOCARE, SWITZERLAND www.nobelbiocare.com Booth B109–116 I Dürr Dental is expanding its VistaScan series with a compact image plate scanner. According to the German company, the new device is supposed to make the transition from film to digital im- age processing considerably eas- ier for dentists and orthodontists. In addition to a high resolution touch display, which can be used to operate the ScanManager, the VistaScan Mini offers wireless net- working capabilities for greater flexibility in the dental practice. “The VistaScan Mini View was developed as an efficient network solution for surgeries with several treatment rooms. You can even use the scanner without PC or network, which makes it particularly suitable for mobile use by aid organisations or in residential care institutions,” explained Frank Kiesele, Head of Dürr’s Imaging Systems Product De- velopment. Clinicians can choose whether they want to operate the touch dis- playbyhandorwithastyluspen.Im- age processing functions, such as magnification, contrast and bright- ness level, have been directly imple- mented into the device. According to Kiesele, VistaScan Mini View is able to process all intraoral sizes from S0 to S4. The handling and variety of formats is similar to film with the advantage that it can be easily positioned in the oral cavity of the patient and digitised quickly, he said. With the new VistaScan Combi, Dürralsooffersalargerversionofits image plate scanner View that can process intraoral images as well as extraoral images such as large panoramic and Ceph images.
