Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2014 B3 Ad INDUSTRY NEWS FDI World Dental Federation has launched a “data hub for global oral health,” an evolving online database of oral health statistics and indicators. The site went live in early September with limited information but will ex- pand and deepen in coming months. Data is being gathered from global sources, including the World Health Or- ganization, Niigata University, Malmö University, World Bank and Globocan. Guided by the FDI Oral Health Atlas Task Team, the site www.fdiworldental. org/data-hub is charged with making country-by-country global oral health data easily accessible to health profes- sionals, policy makers, the media, indus- try and the general public worldwide.

The first hygiene handpiece ever made by Young Dental is designed with a unique contra-angled connector, which attaches the handpiece to air tubing at a 45-degree angle. This angled connection is designed to help reduce cord drag ag- gravation and to make the handpiece feel lighter. Unlike straight-bodied handpieces, the Young Hygiene Handpiece is constructed with a Reverse Radius™ silhouette that’s curved to fit comfortably in the dental hygienist’s hand for a smooth, ergo- nomic performance. The handpiece’s en- graved matte grip rotates 360 degrees to help reduce the need to shift the wrist so often during polishing. “I loved your handpiece for its comfort. The reverse radius nestled in my hand, but most of all, the curved hose attach- ment and swivel made my wrist feel so much better. What a great design,” said Denise Crowell, RDH, who tested the new handpiece. “[Some other handpieces don't] have the curved hose attachment – only the swivel, which causes fatigue. The grip was also superior and I didn't need to use as much tension.” The handpiece is designed for optimal performance when used with Young Dental disposable prophy angles, so cli- nicians can get the most out of their pol- ishing routines. Each handpiece comes with samples of the company's newest and most compact disposable prophy angle, Vera by Young. When it comes to care and mainte- able supplies, instruments and other products used by dental professionals primarily in preventive dentistry, restorative procedures and instrument steriliza- tion. Young Dental is committed to con- tinuous improvement and the creation of high-quality products.
