Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | May 2016 a16 INDUSTRY NEWS Ad TAUB Products has been a pioneer of in- dustry materials for the dental lab and den- tal practice. The company started as George Taub Dental Ceramics Laboratories in the 1930s, specializing in the design and creation of bridgework and porcelain crowns. Today, according to the company, TAUB Products is a hybrid company cross-serving two dental markets and understanding the needs of communication and association between the dental laboratory and dental practice during treat- ment planning. Some recent highlights in innovation: 2014 • FUSION-Zr™ cements offer self-adhesive properties for permanent cementation of all-ceramic restora- tions, zirconia, lithium disilicate, CAD/CAM materials, veneers, crown and bridge, inlays/onlays, PFM, metal, titanium and fiber posts. Bonding agents can be used but are not required. FUSION-Zr cements offer self- adhesive strength to zirconia and other restorative substrates. According to the company, practitioners will enjoy highly favorable handling characteristics and color stability, while producing a remarkably fast and easy clean-up. Trusted by renowned clinicians, FUSION-Zr cements are implemented into lectures and educational curriculums. 2015 • ZERO-G is a dual-cure implant cement and is recom- mended for intermediate to long-term cementation of implant-retained restorations. This cement can also be used for traditional crown and bridge restorations. The company reports that light-curing for 20 sec- onds enables complete margin curing. Self- cure working time is 1 minute and 45 seconds. Set time is 2 minutes and 30 seconds. According to the company, ZERO-G provides excellent radio-opacity for good visualization af- ter cementation to document complete clean-up, as well as diagnostic examination upon follow-up. ZERO-G implant cement is retentive and easily al- lows removal of excess cement, where it may occur. Unique color has highly visible contrast to gingival tissue to create easy visualization. That also makes it easy for clinicians to precisely see and detect excess cement, according to the company. • Impulse Crown and Bridge Remover is made of med- ical grade stainless steel and is available in satin or pol- ished finishes. The Impulse comes with two quickly interchangeable tips for the removal of crowns, provi- sionals and bridges/splints. The Impulse and tips can be sterilized separately by any method. “The Impulse is very easy to use,” said Ed Matthews, TAUB’s vice-president of sales. “It was redesigned with patient comfort in mind. The crown can be removed by breaking the seal of the cement as opposed to pull- ing with a hard force, so patients have a much easier experience. The procedure is painless, even without local anesthesia. In most cases, metal-ceramic crowns and bridges can be removed with no damage.” 2016 • Ca-Lok Flowable Adhesive Calcium Base/Liner is a light-cured, calcium-filled resin with adhesive prop- erties to dentin and seamless compatibility to other restorative materials. Ca-Lok is radiopaque and re- TAUB Products innovative as ever CDA BOOTH NO. 1278 leases fluoride. It is used as a protective liner and can be placed under restorative materials and cements for all deep cavity preparations. With its flowable viscos- ity and hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties, precise placement and control is achieved once light cured. According to the company, Ca-Lok creates adhesion that seals out micro-leakage and eliminates sensitiv- ity. Larry Taub, one of the original members of the TAUB team, said, “I am pleased to see the advance- ments made in the use of resin-modified calcium ad- hesive base/liners. TAUB is still at the forefront of this important dental technology.” Liquid MagicTM is a light-cured, resin barrier for im- plant and cosmetic dentistry. According to the com- pany, Liquid Magic is recommended for filling and protecting abutments as an alternative to having to use multiple products for the same result. The com- pany reports that Liquid Magic can be used to protect the screw head from cements and composite restor- atives — and to seal the screw access hole on abut- ments and screw-retained restorations. It also can be used on screw threads and internal implant compo- nents to provide temporary protection during recall and debriding. When cured, Liquid Magic is a flexible, soft material allowing for easy removal when desired, often in a single piece, making clean-up fast and com- plete, according to the company. Tomorrow Taub Products reports that it diligently continues to work on new innovative products, and it encourages practitioners to watch for new products coming soon. (Source: TAUB Products)
