Dental Tribune U.S. Edition

Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2014A14 Many dental products are used only once, including mixing tips used to pre- pare cements, impression materials and temporary crown-and-bridge (C&B) mate- rial. Following application, the mixer and any material left inside is discarded. To helpdentistsworkmoreefficientlyandsus- tainably, Switzerland’s Sulzer Mixpac has enhanced its tried-and-tested mixers: The new T-MIXER™ is significantly shorter, so material can be mixed even more quickly. For example, the new blue model saves about 0.4 ml of material per C&B applica- tion compared with its predecessor. If a dentist performs an average of four C&B sessions per day, this adds up to 350 ml of savings every year, which is equivalent to seven 50 ml C&B cartridges. Assuming av- erage costs of $100 per temporary C&B ma- terial cartridge, the new T-MIXER helps cut annual material costs by approximately $700. And the mixing result is even better. A T-MIXER’s endorsement by The Den- tal Advisor1 affirms its clinical evaluation. This product enables dentists to not only improve the health and well-being of their patients,butalsomaketheirbusinessmore efficient, according to the company.
