Wednesday, 23 September 2015 Business 21www.fdiworldental.org IAleadingproviderofdentalmilling technologies, Roland DG Australia recently announced the introduc- tion of its new wet milling dental machine. The DWX-4W and other newdevelopmentsinRolanddental millingtechnologywillbeondisplay at key dental conferences world- wide, including FDI 2015, the com- pany announced. The recent introduction of CAD/ CAM software, CNC milling machines andnewrestorativematerials,hasrev- olutionised the production of dental prostheses,includingcrowns,copings and bridges. One of the most popular restorative materials is lithium disi- licate that is gaining support from dentalclinicsandpatientsforitssupe- rior hardness and aesthetic qualities. Roland DG developed the DWX-4W millingmachineespeciallytomeetthe demandsofthisgrowingmarket. “By providing a device capable of wetmillingawidevarietyofmaterials with reliable precision, we plan to complement our existing portfolio of conventional dry milling machines that already receive great support from dental labs worldwide,” ex- plained Shane Adams, Distribution Sales Manager at Roland DG. According to Adams, Roland DG has identified a market need that it intends to fill. “In the current market we are fa- miliarwithproductsthatcombinethe functionality of dry milling and wet millingintoasinglemachine,”hecon- tinues, “While these machines can process a variety of dental CAD/CAM materials, they require a cleaning processwhenswitchingbetweenwet and dry milling. This includes the dis- posal of milling residue, then clean- ing the inside of the machine and drying out the processing area.” Roland DG’s multiple device so- lution of either dry or wet milling can handle the simultaneous processing of different materials without the in- convenience and delay of cleaning. “Each machine specialises in ei- ther wet milling such as the DWX-4W or dry milling such as the DWX-50 and the smaller DWX-4. Furthermore, having separate machines provides the opportunity to add an additional unit to meet production demands, withtheabilitytorunfourunitsoffthe one PC,” Adams said. Visitors of the FDI Annual World Dental Congress are invited to visit standBD239toseethenewDWX-4W and exciting new developments in Roland DG’s dental milling tech- nology.

It has been demonstrated to kill viruses, bacteria and fungi and to promote healing processes by activating the metabolism. The ozonised natural gum therapy ef- fectively supports the treatment of acute and chronic inflammation of the gums and, in contrast to chlorhexidine, causes no discol- oration. In addition to olive and castor oil, ozone is a main compo- nent of Hoffmann's PeriO3 Oil. This highly effective combination excels throughitsexcellenttolerabilityand is even recommended for the treat- ment of patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Hormonal changes during preg- nancy affect the oral vessels, which are then easier for bacteria to pene- trate and lead to periodontal dis- eases faster. According to Hoffmann, PeriO3Oilisthesolutionforpregnant and breastfeeding women, particu- larly owing to the oil not containing any alcohol. The highly reactive oxygen atomsinHoffmann’sPeriO3Oil purposefully eliminate the pathogenic anaerobic bacteria and restore the healthy oral flora. The sensitive oral mucosa and the taste buds are not irritated too. The bactericidal and fungicidal propertiesofozonisedoilshavebeen scientifically proven; when treating periodontal disease, ozonised oil provides better results than a 0.2 % chlorhexidine solution. There are significant benefits when it comes to dealing with staphylococcus aureus and porphyromonas gingivalis. Hoffmann’s PeriO3 oil is applied into the inter- dental spaces or the gingival pockets using a blunt cannula. In order to enhance the effect, professional dental cleaning and cal- culus removal or curettage should be performed priortotreatment.Hoffmann’sPeriO3 Oil is also suitable for the treatment of gingival injuries, grinding traumas and wounds after tooth extraction. Additional mouthwashes are con- traindicated during the application, the company said. “I particularly use Hoffmann’s PeriO3 Oil for patients with an inclination to chronic gum in- flammations, but also for those with simple gingivitis and for the treatment after periodontal treatment as a supportive meas- ure,” explains dentist Dr André Kaczmarek. “I have successfully treated more than 5.000 cases with this preparation in my dental prac- tice since 1998.” HOFFMANNDENTALMANUFAKTUR, GERMANY www.hoffmann-dental.com Booth A60 PeriO3 Oil contains natural triple formula for healthy gums State-of-the-art dental milling technology on display in Bangkok I In the presence of 100 guests and partners from South East Asia, den- tal manufacturer Ivoclar Vivadent recently opened a new marketing office in Indonesia. Located in the western province of Banten, the office is intended to provide marketing support on both clinical and technical products to business partners in the region. The former general manager of Ivoclar China, Jörg Brenn, will head the new operations. In addition to its marketing of- fice, Ivoclar Vivadent will offer hands-on courses and workshops held by nationally and interna- tionally prominent lecturers and instructors at a new International Center for Dental Education (ICDE), which will add to the company’s ex- tensive list of educational facilities around the world. In the upcoming months, dental professionals from the region will be able to learn about the ever- expanding Ivoclar Vivadent product portfolio, the Liechtenstein company said. Brenn warmly invited all dental professionals in South East Asia to utilise the newly created ICDE facili- ties in Indonesia, not only as a place for education and training, but also for exchanging ideas and experi- ences. Global Region Head Asia/Pacific Christian Brutzer commented, “The opening of the new facility shows Ivoclar Vivadent’s long-term com- mitment to serving the dental community in Indonesia and the region.” Ivoclar Vivadent currently main- tains over 20 ICDEs worldwide, in- cluding in Australia, India and the People’s Republic of China, as well as at its headquarters in Liechten- stein.
