Business Friday, 12 September 2014 18 www.fdiworldental.org AD Newendodontic imagingmode availablefrom Planmeca IPlanmeca has introduced a new imaging mode that was developed especially for use in endodontics and in cases dealing with small anatomical details, such as imag- ingoftheear.Thenewmode,which produces extremely high-resolu- tion images with a very small voxel size of only 75 μm, is available for all Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging units. AccordingtoPlanmeca,thenew mode provides clinicians with per- fectvisualisationofeventhesmall- est anatomical details. Owing to new intelligent noise and artefact removalalgorithms,noise-freeand crystal-clear images can be pro- duced, the Finnish dental equip- mentmanufacturersaid.WithPlan- meca ARA, for example, artefacts resulting from metal restorations and root fillings in the patient’s mouth that cause shadows and streaks in CBCT images can be re- moved effectively. In addition, the new Planmeca AINO Adaptive Im- age Noise Optimiser is intended to reduce noise in CBCT images re- sultingfromaparticularlylowradi- ation dose or small voxel size with- out losing valuable details. The company said that the filter partic- ularlyimprovesimagequalityinthe endodontic mode, where noise is inherentduetotheextremelysmall voxelsize.Ithasalsoprovenuseful when used in accordance with the PlanmecaUltraLowDoseprotocol, where noise is induced by the par- ticularlylowdose. Planmeca AINO also allows the reduction of exposure values and consequentlytheradiationdosein allotherimagingmodes,according toPlanmeca.

Developed to provide haemostasis in the oral cavity within 2 minutes, bleeding can even be stoppedwithinafewsecondsinmost cases, according to the manufacturer, establishing a clean and dry working area for better calculus removal and scaling.The astringent and haemosta- tic effects of HEMOSTASYL are en- hancedmechanicallybythethixotropic propertiesofthematerial. The turquoise-coloured gel can be appliedwithinseconds.Curvedapplica- torsallowpreciseplacementwith lower risk of cross-contamination. The gel’s thixotropic properties ensure good ad- hesion to the mucous membrane even when there is moderate bleeding— without applying excessive pressure to thegingivae.Afteramaximumexposure of 2 minutes, the product can be re- movedwithagentleairandwaterspray accompaniedbysuction,Acteonsaid.
