34 roots 2 2016 products use of composites Therma-Flo Composite Warming Kit dental isolation A dental isolation technique that is unlike anything else Vista Dental Products is revolutionizing composite delivery with its new line of Therma-Flo products, which the company says are uniquely engineered to utilize heat for optimal performance of any preferred composite material. The Therma-Flo Composite Warming Kit is designed to improve the flo- wability of highly filled composites more than 100 per cent through the use of heat. With the Therma-Flo Warming Kit, your preferred highly filled composite will perform like a flowable, providing greater adaptation to the cavity walls, according to Vista. Scientific research indicates heating composite material aids in the reduc- tion of curing time and improves polymerization, which reduces voids in the restoration, the company says. Heated composite material is much easier to manipulate, making placement fast and effortless. The Therma-Flo Warming Kit accepts most manufacturers’ composite capsu- les and composite guns, so dentists can continue to use the composite of their choice. The kit also includes Vista’s new Therma-Flo Step Down tips, ideal for precision placement of composite material. Vista Dental Products 2200 South Street Racine, WI 53404 USA www.vista-dental.com Dental isolation is one of the most common and on- goingchallengesindentistry.Themouthisadifficult environment in which to work. It is wet and dark, the tongue is in the way, and there is the added humidity of breath, which all make dentistry more difficult. Proper dental isolation and moisture control are two often overlooked factors that can affect the longevity of dental work—especially with today’s advanced techniques and materials. Leading dental isolation methods have long been the rubber dam—or manual suction and retracti- on with the aid of cotton rolls and dry angles. Both of these methods are time and labor intensive, and not particularly pleasant for the patient. Enter Isolite Systems: Its dental isolation systems deliver an isolated, humidity- and moisture-free working field as dry as the rubber dam but with significant advantages, including better visibility, greater access, improved patient safety and a leap forward in comfort. Plus, it allows dentists to work in two quadrants at a time. The key to the technology is the Isolation Mouth- piece. Compatible with Isolite’s full line of pro- ducts, the mouthpiece is the heart of the system. It is specifically designed and engineered around the anatomy and morphology of the mouth to accom- modate every patient, from children to the elderly. The single-use Isolation Mouthpieces are now available in six sizes and position in seconds to provide complete, comfortable tongue and cheek retraction while also shielding the airway to pre- vent inadvertent foreign body aspiration. Constructed out of a polymeric material that is sof- ter than gingival tissue, the mouthpieces provide significant safety advantages, and their ease-of- use can boost your practice’s efficiency, results and patient satisfaction. Isolite Systems provides three state-of-the-art product solutions for every practice, every ope- ratory: Isolite, illuminated dental isolation system; Isodry, a non-illuminated dental isolation; and the new Isovac, dental isolation adapter. Using the Isolation Mouthpieces, all three dental isolation products isolate upper and lower quad- rants simultaneously while providing continuous hands-free suction. This allows a positive experi- ence where the patient no longer has the sensati- on of drowning in saliva/water during a procedu- re and the practitioner can precisely control the amount of suction/humidity in the patient’s mouth. Isolite Systems’ dental isolation is recommended for the majority of dental procedures where oral control and dental isolation in the working field is desired. It has been favorably reviewed by leading independent evaluators and is recommended for procedures where good isolation is critical to qua- lity dental outcomes.
