exhibitors 9AGD 2015 — Thursday, June 18, 2015 By Glidewell Laboratories Staff n Glidewell Laboratories, a pro- vider of dental products, implant solutionsandlaboratoryservices,has announced the release of the Hahn™ Tapered Implant System. Dr.JackHahn,forwhomthesystem is named, is known for his develop- ment of the original tapered implant, which went on to become one of the most widely used systems in the industry. Leveraging that experience and his 45-year career as a clinician and innovator, Hahn oversaw the design and creation of this implant, with the goal of making the benefits of implant therapy more affordable to a larger patient population. The Hahn Tapered Implant System is the culmination of a partnership between Hahn and Jim Glidewell, president and CEO of Glidewell Labo- ratories, whose own career track record includes numerous innova- tions in the dental industry. Together, they devised this new system to continue the evolution of the tapered implant, in hopes of enhancing the quality of treatment while reducing the cost of care. Hahnhasplacedandrestoredmore than 5,000 NobelReplace® implants sincedevelopingthesystemforNobel Biocare nearly 20 years ago. His clini- cal observations made during this period revealed several key areas for improvement. These serve as the basis for his new implant system. Engineered to engage a maximum amount of bone and achieve a high degree of primary stability in an extensive range of clinical situations, the Hahn Tapered Implant System is the next step in the evolution of the tapered implant. Its design features have been care- fully crafted to help clinicians miti- gate patient trauma and reduce chair time, promote long-term integration and facilitate immediate provision- alization and other prosthetic consid- erations. With a pronounced thread design that increases bone contact, the Hahn Tapered Implant enables precise con- trol of positioning and angulation during placement. The Hahn Tapered Implant System incorporates a unique thread pattern that establishes stability in all quali- ties of bone. Its tapered, root-form body and wide array of sizes allow for placement in all regions of the mouth, from tight anterior spaces to first molar sites. This advanced sys- tem is well-suited for placement in fresh extraction sockets, where the implant’s sharp threads engage the lingual wall and thereby help practi- tioners avoid the facial plate. The Hahn Tapered Implant in- cludes coronal microthreads designed for crestal bone preser- vation and a machined collar to facilitate soft-tissue maintenance. The conical, internal hex connection provides a secure, stable prosthetic seal. The angled thread pattern of the implant enables swift insertion, with self-tapping grooves to facilitate delivery and initial stability. Engineered and manufactured in the United States, the Hahn Tapered Implant System is compatible with popular surgical instrumentation already used in many implant prac- tices. Its simplified surgical protocol includes implant-specific drills that precisely control the diameter and depth of the osteotomy. The system includes a comprehensive assort- ment of prosthetic components to support the full range of traditional and custom restorative protocols. The next tapered implant system By Kettenbach LP Staff n Visalys® Core, the new product from Kettenbach LP, represents the nextgenerationofcorebuild-upmate- rials. The most recent addition to the Visalys family is a dual-curing core build-up material with unique active- connect-technology (ACT) to ensure a reliable bond with all common adhesives — without an additional activator. The product was first unveiled at this year’s International Dental Show in Cologne, Germany. Visalys Core is the first core build- up material from Kettenbach. The fluoride-containing, dual-curing com- posite was developed for the fabrica- tion of radiopaque core build-ups and core fillings and for cementing root posts. The product incorporates ACT, which is unique in the market. This enables the material to bond actively with all common light-curing and dual-curing, single-step and multi- step adhesives, without an additional activator. The advantage for users is that it allows them to use the bonding agent they are used to — no matter whether it is a light-curing or dual-curing, a single- or multi-bottle system. A firm foundation According to the company, Visalys Core ensures easy and reliable han- dling with excellent positional stabil- ity. At the same time, it exhibits good flowability and low extrusion force. The excellent compressive strength results in a stable monoblock and a secure bond. Optional light-curing allows the procedure to be continued imme- diately, according to the company, and reliable self-curing provides for dependable strength even on the cavity floor and in root canals. Excel- lent polishing characteristics ensure precise preparation; even without light-curing, the smear layer is mini- mal. The product is also free of bisphenol A and its derivatives. Visalys Core is available in dentin and white shades in a 5 ml double syringe and in a 25 ml cartridge.
