Business Wednesday, 23 September 2015 16 www.fdiworldental.org IAdressing all problems a clinician faces when restoring a single tooth in the posterior, Nobel Biocare is trying to bring innovation back to the posterior region with its new completeposteriorsolution. MultipleNobelBiocarenov- elties combine to make this solution complete, but the foundation for treatment successistheimplantitself, the company said. Here NobelBiocareoffersseveral options, each engineered for the specific demands of the posterior. A new variant offers the benefits of the NobelActivefamilybutwith dimensions ideal for the molar region. The Nobel- Active WP (wide platform) implant possesses a wi- der diameter implant body (5.5mm)tobetterfitthelarge extraction sites in the molar region and a wider implant platform for an optimal emergence profile. NobelActiveWPalsocomesinan optionwithashorterbody(7mm)to avoid critical anatomical structures such as nerves. Alternatively, clinicians can opt for NobelParallel Conical Connection (CC). Combining a parallel-walled im- plant body that is well documented with an advanced internal connec- tion,thisimplantoffersextraordinary flexibility. It is engineered for use in allbonequalitiesandforawiderange of indications. The 5.5mm wide platform option is designed for an optimised emer- gence profile for large molar sites. Both new implants also benefit from Nobel Biocare’s internal conical connection. This advanced connec- tion’s conical seal and hexagonal in- terlocking mechanism provide high mechanicalstrength.Itoffersrestora- tive flexibility too, being compatible with Nobel Biocare’s most innova- tive restorative solutions, including those designed specifically for the posterior. These include the new PEEK Healing and PEEK Temporary Abutments, which are anatomically shaped to match the molar contours. As the PEEK Abutments come ready- shaped for an optimized emergence profile,feweradjustmentsareneeded. This can simplify treatment and re- duce costly chair time. When it comes to the final restoration, the FCZ (full-contour zirconia) Im- plant Crown is designed for strength and pre- dictability even under the high occlusal forces of the posterior. There’s no worrying about chipping either, as the full-contour natureoftheNobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown re- moves the need for ve- neering. The biocompatibility of the materials used con- tributes to biological stability in the areas it matters most. Plus, being screw retained, the FCZ Implant Crown is completely cement free, avoiding the risks associated with cement excess entirely. Even the titanium adapter is mechanically retained. The ability to use an angulated screw channel (ASC) allows the screw access hole on the FCZ Im- plant Crown to be placed anywhere between0°and25°ina360°radius. Thismeansitcanbeangledtowards the front of the mouth for easy ac- cess, even in the posterior. It also helpsavoidplacingtheaccesschan- nel on the cusp of a tooth, where it could affect occlusion. The associ- ated Omnigrip Screwdriver further simplifies work on the restoration. Itseffectivepick-upfunctionandse- curegriponthescrewhelptheclini- cian to work safely and efficiently. Natural-looking tooth color is another benefit offered by the FCZ Implant Crown. Whichever of the eight available shades is used, the color is applied throughout the material. This means discoloration isn’taconcernwhenmakingadjust- ments. Cutbacks and staining can also be used to achieve the desired aesthetic effect. NOBELBIOCARE, SWITZERLAND www.nobelbiocare.com/ bringinginnovationback Booth A211 Nobelintroducescompleteposteriorsolution ITailored to the needs of dental sur- geries good, suction systems from Dürr Dental opened up the possibili- ties for ergonomic dental treatment aroundfiftyyearsago.Apioneerinthe field the company began distributing them as as early as 1964. Since then, Dürr has been constantly working on improving its technology. As a result, the new generation of dental suc- tion systems called Tyscor is quieter, smaller and lighter. According to the company, it also reduces energy con- sumptionbyupto50percent*. In the 1960s, systematic spray mist suction was developed to suc- cessfullydealwithfundamentalprob- lems such as the exposure of both patients and staff to aerosol-based germsaswellastheoftenuncomfort- able working position of dentists, whichuntilthenhadbeenunavoidable. Itishardtothinkofanotherinnovation that has made so much progress with regard to the known prevalenceofback complaints in dentists. With the new in- vention, it was now possible fordentists to treat re- clined pa- tients whilst they themselves weresittingdown. Nowadays, energy efficien- cy is becoming increasingly impor- tant and this is where Dürr Dental has made inroads with its recent techno- logical breakthrough. Its engineers have designed the new Tyscor gen- eration of suction machines in such a way that it works with radial com- pressors in- steadofside c h a n n e l blowers. Until now, radial com- pressorshave mainly been used for indus- trial and domestic applications. Larger-sized examples include ventilation and air-conditioning systems as well as refrigeration engineering, two of many sectorswherereliabilityandendurance arevital. Tyscor suction machines offer the reliability products from Dürr Dental are known for, the company said. They are easy to install with the help of dental trade experts, require low mantainance and exhibit a high level of failure safety. As the new Tyscor generation works even more quietly than its predecessors, it completely blends into the background. A dry Tyscor suction machine can beeasilyconvertedintoawetsystem, if nessessary. Owing to its modular design, the separation system can be easily integrated into the existing unit, according to Dürr. It goes with- out saying that the new suction units arenetworkableandcanbeusedwith Tyscor Pulse software meaning that clinicians can conveniently set their suction machine to one of three dif- ferentsuctionlevels(Eco,Balanced, and Boost) from a personal com- puter. Owing to demand-based control of the vacuum, users tend to save 50 %* in total energy costs compared with traditional devices. The new Tyscor suction machine generation is available now, with each unit being accessible by two dentists. Tyscor V 2 is the dry suc- tion unit and Tyscor VS2 is the wet version. The CA 2 is also available as a suitable amalgam filtration device. *DatareleasedbytheFraunhoferInstitute, Germany, in July 2014 DÜRR DENTAL, GERMANY www.duerrdental.de Booth A68 Dürrhighlightsnewclassofenergyefficiencysuctionsystems IWith the combina- tion of CAD/CAM solutions and X-ray units in the Plan- meca ProMax 3D imaging family, dentalprofession- als can now bring together a wider range of informa- tion for treatment planning and diag- nostic purposes. According to the manufacturer, the PlanmecaRomexis software platform opens new doors in creating a new standard of care for patients by of- fering high-quality features for different specialities, includ- ing implant plan- ning and other re- storative treatments, all available through one software interface. PlanmecaProMax3Dimag- ing units reveal intricate infor- mation on soft and hard tissue structures, including the mandibular nerve canal, while the Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanner captures precise data above the gum line. The combina- tion of these data helps build a complete under- standing of any case and makes 3-D prosthetic de- signing quick, accurate and easy, the company said. Clinics are able to op- erate more flexibly, as restorations caneitherbemilledataclinicwiththe Planmeca PlanMill 40 milling unit, or easily sent to a dental lab in an open STLdata format. Standardised data is the driving force behind many of the latest de- velopments in digital dentistry, as it guarantees the interoperability of images and dental data across dif- ferent hardware platforms. Bringing Planmeca’s CBCT and CAD/CAM sys- tems together through the Planmeca Romexis software platform makes effective chairside dentistry a reality and presents dentists with a stream- lined opportunity to substantially grow their practice. A streamlined digital workflow also ensures the full utilisation of resources, according to Planmeca, leading to a more efficient treatment environment. Instead of two visits, patients can be treated in one hour and with no temporary crowns or physical dental models required.
