40 roots1 2016 ultrasonic irrigation New cordless Ultrasonic Activator significantly improves debridement imaging Detailed images without noise or artefacts with Planmeca’s endodontic imaging mode Sciencehasshownthatirrigantsaremoreeffectivewhentheyareelectro-me- chanicallyactivated.Acousticstreamingandcavitationofendodonticsolutions has been shown to significantly enhance cleansing of difficult anatomy. Stud- ies have shown that low frequency (Sonic) oscillation (160–190Hz) was not sufficient in creating acoustic streaming or cavitation within the canal space. EndoUltra is the only cordless, compact, battery operated piezo ultrasonic (40kHz) activation device. Only EndoUltra is capable of producing acoustic streaming and cavitation in small canal spaces, resulting in significantly im- proveddebridement,disruptionofbiofilm,improvedpenetrationofirrigantsinto dentinaltubules,andtheremovalofvaporlock.Resultinginimprovedoutcomes. EndoUltra features unique 15/02 Activator Tips, which resonate along the en- tire length of the tip and do not engage tooth structure. Activator tips feature depth markers at 18, 19, and 20mm. For over 20 years Vista Dental Products have been offering hundreds of top quality dental products, endodontic solutions, equipment, and accessories.

Vista Dental Products 2200 South Street Racine, WI 53404, USA www.vista-dental.com Specificallydesignedforendodonticstudies,Plan- meca’s advanced endodontic imaging mode pro- vides perfect visualisation of even the finest ana- tomical details. It is available for all X-ray units belongingtothePlanmecaProMax3Dfamilyandis ideal for endodontics, as well as other cases that requireimagingofsmallanatomicaldetails,suchas imaging of the ear. The imaging programme pro- duces extremely high-resolution images with a very small voxel size (only 75µm). The Planmeca AINO noise removal and Planmeca ARAartefactremovalalgorithmsallowimagestobe noise-free and crystal-clear, while visualisation of segmented teeth and their roots is made straight- forward and easy with the new Tooth Segmen- tation tool. PlanmecaARAremovesartefactsefficiently Metal restorations and root fillings in the pa- tient’s mouth present a challenge, as they can cause shadows and streaks in CBCT images. The intelligent Planmeca ARA Artefact Removal Algo- rithm removes these artefacts efficiently from Planmeca ProMax 3D images. Planmeca AINO removes noise from CBCTimages A particularly low radiation dose or small voxel size can cause noise in 3-D X-rayimages.ThePlanmecaAINOAdap- tive Image Noise Optimiser is an intelli- gent noise filter that reduces noise in CBCT images without losing valuable details.Thefilterimprovesimagequal- ity in the endodontic imaging mode, where noise is inherent due to the ex- tremely small voxel size. It is also espe- cially useful when using the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose protocol, where noise is induced by the particularly low dose. Planmeca AINO also al- lows reducing exposure values and consequently the radiation dose in all other imaging modes. Efficient tooth segmentation The new version 4.2 of the Planmeca Romexis all- in-one software platform introduces an intuitive andefficienttoolforsegmentingatoothanditsroot from a CBCT image. The guided process enables quick segmentation of a patient’s full dentition. Surface models of segmented teeth can be visual- ised, measured and utilised in Planmeca Romexis, or exported to other systems as open STL files.
