exhibitors34 Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 1, 2015 n TAUB Products, a long-time manu- facturer of dental consumable prod- ucts, announced the release of Liquid Magic Resin Barrier for implant and cosmetic dentistry. Liquid Magic is a light-cured resin used to protect threading, screws and internal com- ponents of implants and abutments. Used prior to the placement of a crown, Liquid Magic works in conjunction with ZERO-G Bio-Implant Cement, resulting in better seating of the crown and easier cleanup. “LiquidMagicprotectsabutmentandimplantcomponentsduringcemen- tation,” said Ed Matthews, vice president of sales for TAUB Products. “It is easily removed during recall to allow clean access to the screw head. New science helped us develop this product.” To check out Liquid Magic and other TAUB products, stop by the booth, No. 2708, here at the Greater New York Dental Meeting or go to www.taubdental.com. n DEFEND+PLUS sterilization pouches are manufactured with lead-free, built-in dual inter- nal and external indicators to ensure the correct sterilization temperature is reached in the autoclave chamber as well as inside the instrument compart- ment. These options eliminate the need for internal indicator strips. To see the DEFEND+PLUS sterilization pouches, stop by the Mydent International booth, No. 3709, here at the Greater New York Dental Meeting.

The Foresight 45 SGL has an innovative design, incorporating an air-driven generator inside the handpiece to power a bright LED light directly into the surgical pocket. This technology illuminates the operative field without the need for fiber optic systems from a delivery unit, according to the company. Traditionally, fiber optic systems provide the source of light through a bulb in the coupler or in a tube from the airline. This light travels through a fiber optic rod that leads to the head of the handpiece. The fiber optic rod has a tendency to yellow over mul- tiple autoclaves, lowering the color temperature and dimming the trans- mitted light to the working site. These fiber optic systems contain other components such as bulbs and electrical sources, which also need to be maintained. The Foresight 45 eliminates the need for multiple components, pro- viding you with a single-piece solu- tion to your lighting needs with a standard four-hole back-end hand- piece, Medidenta asserts. Many dental offices rely on over- head lamps or loupes to light surgical procedures. The downside to this, however, is that it will create shadow- ing in the working site. When using the Foresight 45 SGL, youcaneliminateanyshadowingthat would have been created using those lighting setups. With a direct LED light inside of the surgical pocket, you will experience more visibility, a wider field of view and a brighter working site. Unlike conventional surgical handpieces on the market where air escapes from the back of the headcap, the Foresight 45 SGL does not allow any air to escape into the oral cav- ity. All of the excess air is funneled to the back end of the handpiece, eliminating all possibilities of an air embolism, according to Medidenta. This ensures an air-free oral cavity, allowing for multiple surgeries in succession while still maintaining patient safety. The 45-degree head offers max- imum access and visibility when performing all surgical procedures, the company asserts. It is capable of extreme power, delivering more than 20 watts of constant torque for consistent cutting power even under the heavy load conditions that often occur while sectioning third molars. The patented chuck design works to grip the bur tighter as the RPMs increase to ensure patient safety and minimize the risk of bur slippage. It also comes backed with a one-year warranty that covers both the shell and the turbine, which the company states is among the highest in the industry for a surgical highspeed handpiece.
