business 21EUROPERIO London 2015–4 June Fifteen years after the launch of Expasyl,ACTEONisonceagainrev- olutionisingthefieldofgingivalre- traction. With the global launched to be anticipated at IDS 2015, Ex- pazen is supposed to significantly improve patient care. The primary goalremainsthepreservingthepe- riodontium, the company said. Expazen is a paste with unique properties. With its optimally de- signed diameter tip, the capsule never penetrates the sulcus. It de- livers a cord paste large and dense enough to effectively separate the marginal gingiva, without the risk of damage. Its viscosity has been precisely calculated for effective opening of the sulcus without damage to the epithelial attach- ment. Thus it is no longer neces- sary to wait for tissue healing. Expazen becomes fully effec- tive in less than two minutes. Owing to the material’s slowly solubility, it can be kept in the sul- cus up to 12 minutes. According to ACTEON, the Expazen capsules have been specifically designed to fit any kind of composite applicators.

CAD/CAMmanufacturedusing high-strength translucent zirco- nia, and with the option to create angulated screw channels, the NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown offers predictable strength, aes- thetics and function. Suitable for all tooth positions, the strength of the FCZ Implant Crown ensures predictabilityevenunderthehigh occlusal forces of the posterior, which makes it an ideal restora- tive option for the molar region. According to Nobel Biocare, there isnoneedtoworryaboutchipping either, as the full-contour nature of the NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown removes the need for ve- neering. The biocompatibility of the ma- terials used represents an addi- tional benefit by providing biolog- ical stability in the areas it matters most. Plus, being screw retained, the FCZ Im- plant Crown is completely cement free, avoiding the risks as- sociated with cement excess en- tirely.Eventhetitaniumadapteris mechanically retained. As it can be placed in the poste- rior, the FCZ Implant Crown gives clinicians the chance to increase the number of screw-retained restorations they place. This means more patients treated with arestorativesolutionthatiseasier to maintain and retrieve, and without cement. The NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown is designed for use with Nobel Bio- care’s extensive range of conical connection implants. Nobel Bio- care implant systems and restora- tive solutions are tested together as one system, as they exist in the patient’smouth.CombiningNobel Biocarecomponentsmeansallele- mentshavebeendesignedtowork together for a perfect treatment outcome, the company said. The possibility to use an angu- lated screw channel (ASC) allows the screw access hole to be placed anywherebetween0°and25°ina 360° radius. This means it can be angled towards the front of the mouth for easy access even in the posterior. It also helps avoid plac- ingtheaccesschannelonthecusp of a tooth, where it could affect oc- clusion. Working on the restoration is further simplified by the Omni- grip Screwdriver. Its effective pick-up function and secure grip on the screw help the clinician to work safely and efficiently. Natural-looking tooth colour is anotherbenefitofferedbytheFCZ Implant Crown. Whichever of the eight available shades is used, the colour is applied throughout the material. This means adjustments can be made without having to worry about discoloration. It is also no problem to use cutbacks or staining to achieve the desired aesthetic effect, accord- ing to Nobel Biocare. Patients, clinicians and dental laboratories all want restorations they can rely on. The NobelPro- ceraFCZImplantCrownpossesses incredible strength for long-term predictability, but with restora- tive flexibility too. This way, the company said it is well on its way to becoming “the crown that rules them all”.

What better way then, to show true British re- silience and ability to rebuild bridges with European colleagues than to host EuroPerio8? Periodontology is a specialism inwhichtheBritishexcel,withthe Eastman Dental Institute counted as one of the centres of excellence for international training in this field. The high incidence of periodontal disease amongst adults in the Weston world indi- cates that in most cases, routine dental care could be considerably improved. The progressive effect of the disease coupled with our aging demographic makes periodontitis a growing public health issue and so we look to our European experts to address this issue at the conference. Following the UK move to direct access to dental hygiene care for British pa- tients, the country is moving in the right direction to help share the bur- den of preventive and mainte- nance care for the growing num- ber of patients with periodontal disease. The latest European workshop on Periodontology con- firms that gum health requires professionaladviceandtreatment – the dental hygiene cadre are ex- actly the right members of the team to undertake this. The British Society of Periodon- tology (BSP) promotes the team ethic in periodontal care working collaboratively with the British Society of Dental Hygienists and Therapists (BSDHT) to set and maintain clinical care path- ways for patients in general practice. Mu- tualrespectoftheclin- ical competencies and scope of practice of the various disciplines withindentistryisclearly demonstrated here at con- ference with the BSDHT involved with the programme organisation and delivery. Of course, the trade ex- hibitors share an equal role in the treatment and prevention of peri- odontal disease with research and development in genetic engineer- ingandimplantdesignattheexcit- ing end of the spectrum, with oral hygiene products and tools for manual disruption of the biofilm at the less exciting end. Less excit- ing perhaps, but equally impor- tant for all stakeholders in peri- odontal and general health. Effective plaque control re- mains the mantra in periodontal disease, brushing twice daily for two minutes and interdental cleaning once a day. Big brush, lit- tle brush equals Periodontal health–notrocketsciencebutcer- tainly a ‘Song for Europe’…. And one which TePe have sung for an impressive 50 years.
