45 roots 4 2016 single file system S1—Single file system for modern endodontics dental imagining Endodontic imaging mode from Planmeca yields detailed images without noise or artefacts The S1 System is a single file system using a reciprocating motion—with new technology we are making root canal treatment even more simple. The design makesiteasytouseapplyingsteadymovements,forthebestergonom- ics. We simplify endodontics and also makes it more cost-effective. The S1 contra-angel handpiece with its reciprocating motion, has a unique design with an integrated gearbox and rotates 180° clock- wise and 30° anti-clockwise alternately—a smart solution which allows you to connect the contra-angle handpiece directly to your dental unit with no need for an external motor. In contrast with many of our competitor’s products creating reciprocating motion which use an external motor, cord and foot pedal—an unneces- sarily complicated procedure. The S1 contra-angle handpiece can be connected to an apex locator using the accompanying apex clip. You clean and sterilize the contra-angle handpiece just as you do other instruments. The S1 System is a single file system with several advantages. Because you only need one instrument, treatment is faster and since the instru- ments come in a practical sterile Treatment Pack they are ready to use directly from the package which saves even more time so you’ll be able to treat more patients. Sendoline’s unique S-profile with its double cutting edges is extremely effective in the root canal with the S1 System’s reciprocating motion. The instrument has a non-cutting tip, making it easier to hold it steady in the centre of the root canal. The instruments rotation 180° clockwise and 30° anti-clockwise alternately—and the nickel titanium alloy’s elasticity and flexibility minimize the risk of instrument fracture.

Sendoline Box 7037 Tillverkarvägen 6 18766 Täby Sweden www.sendoline.com Planmeca has in its offer an imaging mode specially developed for use in endodontics and that is ideal for cases dealing with small anatomical details, such as imaging of the ear. The imaging mode is available for all Planmeca ProMax 3D family units and provides perfect visualisation of even the smallest anatomical details. The program produces extremely high-resolution images with a very small voxel size (only 75µm). Owing to the intelligent Planmeca AINO noise removal and Planmeca ARA artefact removal algorithms, noise- free and crystal clear images are produced. Planmeca ARA removes artefacts efficiently Metal restorations and root fillings in the patient’s mouth can cause shadows and streaks in CBCT images. The intelligent Planmeca ARA Artefact Removal Al- gorithm removes these artefacts efficiently from Planmeca ProMax 3D images. Planmeca AINO removes noise from CBCT images A particularly low radiation dose or small voxel size can cause noise in 3-D X-ray images. The Planmeca AINO Adaptive Image Noise Optimiser is an intel- ligent noise filter that reduces noise in CBCT images without losing valuable details. The filter improves image quality in the endodontic imaging mode, where noise is inherent due to the extremely small voxel size. It is especially useful when used in accordance with the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose protocol, where noise is induced by the particularly low dose. Planmeca AINO also allows the reduction of exposure values and consequently the radiation dose in all other imaging modes. Planmeca Oy Asentajankatu 6 00880 Helsinki, Finland www.planmeca.com 42016
