Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | November 2015A6 Ad Rhein’83, a global producer of preci- sion attachments on removable pros- thesis, describes its OT Equator as the smallest dimensional attachment sys- tem on the market. It has a reduced vertical profile of 2.1 mm and diameter of 4.4 mm (metal housing included). It is compatible with any implant brand. Superior stability Because of its shape, Equator provides superior stability when compared with traditional attachments, according to the company. It corrects divergence of up to 25 degrees, the company reports. Functionality is guaranteed by cou- pling of attachment and cap. Caps are available in four colors, based on levels of retention — from a minimum of 0.6 kg to a maximum of 2.7 kg. Caps should always be used with metal housing.

Futurabond M+ ver- satility enables it to be used in self-, selective- or total-etch mode without any additional primers on virtually all substrates. Futurabond M+ achieves total-etch bond strength levels with all light-, self- and dual-cure resin-based composites, cements and core buildup materials. With a dual-cured activa- tor, Futurabond M+ will self-cure without any light activation, which, according to the company, offers a big advantage for endodontic applications such as post cementation where it avoids the pooling effect, a problem with light-cured adhesives. Futurabond M+ also adheres well to metal, zirconia and ceramic, making extra primers unnecessary. Futurabond M+ needs only one coat and takes 35 seconds from start to finish. Its low film thickness of 9 microns makes bonding margins invisible (i.e. no “halo” effect) and prevents pooling problems. Addi- tionally the material does not need to be refrigerated. Further Futurabond M+ benefits include its indica- Single-bottle adhesive self- cures with no light activation tion as a desensitizer for use under amalgam restora- tions or on hypersensitive tooth necks, as a protec- tive varnish for glass ionomers as well as an intraoral repair of ceramic restorations.
