A strong emphasis on research and development has led to breakthroughs in dental materials, equipment and biomaterials. This trend continues with two of its latest products: the i-ROOT electronic apex locator and the E&Q Master cordless gutta-percha obtura- tor. Another product will soon be released. I-ROOToffersunparalleledaccuracyinthemeasure- ment of apical constrictions. Using dual frequency, i-ROOT is the fifth-generation apex locator from META BIOMED. It is able to measure accurately re- gardless of the root canal’s condition—whether it is dry, wet or bleeding, or in the presence of a saline solution, EDTA, NaOCl or chlorhexidine. The device has a colored display that allows for greater detail, with audio measurement. Developed and upgraded with the technology of the e-Magic Finder (EMF- 100 series) apex locator, it is simple to operate. The locator is powered by three AA batteries and provides up to 60 hours of continuous use. Weigh- ingonly390g,i-ROOTistheidealportable,durable and user-friendly apex locator. The E&Q Master is designed to be user-friendly in every aspect. Its slim design with a firm grip allows foreasyhandling,anditssimplemethodofoperation can be learned quickly. The obturator runs at a low voltage,makingitsafetouse,anditisabletoperform continuously for 90 minutes. Its lithium-ion battery charges within 3 hours in a similar manner to a mo- bile phone. The thermo-plasticized method of filling the canal allows the device to provide fast treatment, as it is ready for use within 2 minutes. Finally, META BIOMED is proud to announce another new system for continuous wave obturation that will soon be re- leased internationally: the EQ-V obturation gun and pen combine simple use, chemically proven housing material, outstanding heating performance, extend- ed battery time, and ergonomic design. Among other features, the gun’s innovative 360 degree rotating cartridge needle provides dental professionals with the best choice for obturation. “Both disposable and reusable cartridges will be available, so doctors can easilyapplythetechniquefor3-Dobturation.Thanks to EQ-V, all levels and ages of dentists will enjoy root canal filling with great success. We ultimately target toreplaceconventionaltechniqueswithourlow-cost cartridgesolutions,”saysIanYun,ManagingDirector at META BIOMED Inc. META BIOMED Co Ltd. Chungbuk, Korea www.meta-biomed.com The new XP-endo Shaper, developed by Swiss dental manufacturer FKG Dentaire, is an innovative single-file system indicated for shaping the vast majority of root canals in three dimensions. Providing ease of use, swiftness, effectiveness and resistance to cyclic fatigue, the XP-endo Shaper is designed to facilitate the clinicians’ work while maximis- ing endodontic treatment quality and safety. Manufactured from the patented MaxWire alloy, it features extreme flexibility and remarkable fatigue strength, compared with competing instruments that achieve the same final size. It has the capacity to expand, from its initial 0.01 taper to a minimum taper of 0.04, and the abilitytoprogresswithagilityalongthecanal,reducingtheriskoftorsionalfatigue. Featuring the Booster Tip, which has six cutting edges, the XP-endo Shaper starts shaping at ISO diameter 15 and then increases its working scope to achieve ISO diameter 30. The Booster Tip keeps the instrument centred and avoids ledging or straightening of the root canal. Owing to the instrument’s small core diameter, its cutting efficiency and the stream generated in the irrigation fluid, a large amount of dentine micro-de- bris is evacuated efficiently. This prevents the risk of debris compaction into canal irregularities and limits the extrusion beyond the apex. Used after preparing a glide path to a minimum ISO 15/02, the XP-endo Shaper can achieve a final canal preparation size of at least ISO 30/04. These technical advantages, combined with high-speed continuous rotation and minimum torque, minimise the stresses exerted on the canal walls and prevent the risk of microcracks. The XP-endo Shaper has a gentle, non-ag- gressive action and promotes conservative procedures. With this new instrument, FKG enables general dentists and endodontists to perform root canal shaping simply, quickly, safely and with just one instrument. Available in 21, 25 and 31mm lengths, the XP-endo Shaper comes in sterile blister packs of six instruments.
