Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | March 2015a16 INDUSTRY NEWS By DENTSPLY Pharmaceutical Staff For more than 100 years DENTSPLY In- ternational has been supporting dentists worldwide in their profession. The company’s trusted and compre- hensive range of anesthetics enables dentists and hygienists to start every procedure right. DENTSPLY Pharmaceu- tical ensures quality at each step of the product’s journey — from collection of active molecules all the way through to when the packages arrive at your office. Each cartridge is twice sterilized with a sterilizing filter followed by an autoclave method. Cartridges are then visually inspected with an electronic laser for defects and impurities, including but not limited to: cracks, foreign particles, color and den- sity. Each cartridge is mylar-pack labeled to restrain the individual pieces in case of a break — thus avoiding any injuries. Each set of 10 cartridges is then blister packed to avoid breakage. Finally, each cartridge is color coded as per industry standard ADA system. DENTSPLY Pharmaceutical controls quality at every step, all the way to your office door Ensuring quality of DENTSPLY pharmaceuticals begins when collecting active molecules and continues through double-sterlization of cartridges, laser inspection for defects, safety- focused packaging and breakage-avoidance shipping.

They feature comfortable, nonslip ErgoTouch handles and are well-balanced and light- weight. LM-LiftOut instruments are designed to perform typical extractions atrau- matically, an important consideration that enables rapid healing and future implant placement. The tip of the instrument is intro- duced into the periodontal space and slowly advances toward the apex of the root while moving gently back and forth. LM-TwistOut instruments are indi- cated for tooth extraction in situations where strong force or torque must be applied, and LM-SlimLift instruments are created for the most atraumatic ex- tractions. Because of their slim tips, the instruments fit in extremely narrow spaces and are ideal for implant prepa- rations. LM extraction instruments are sup- plied in a convenient cassette that pro- tects both the instrument and the han- dler during the maintenance cycle. The cassette keeps instruments from punc- turing the sterilization pouch, and the cassette can be color-coded. The blades, hand-finished and made from LM-Du- raGradeMAX supersteel, stay sharp and are long-lasting when properly used and maintained. Because of their slim tips, the LM extraction instruments fit in extremely narrow spaces and are ideal for implant preparations.
