SHOW PREVIEW industry Highest industrial standard at the push of a button (cid:132) Print@Dreve from Dreve Dentamid (Booth T030–U031, Hall 10.2) is cur- rently the only German-made service offering for additively manufactured dental models. High-performance printers allow for superior industrial standards with regard to precision, quantities per building platform, mate- rial selection and flexibility in techni- cal process adaptation. New additions to the Print@Dreve product portfolio are transparent occlusal and bruxism splints that are clear, unbreakable and extremely precise. Owing to the refinement of the en- tire workflow, which includes cleaning and final curing of the models, and the ongoing efforts by the company’s re- search and development department towards innovations and further im- provements, Print@Dreve persistently provides the detail and precision that is crucial for dental models at lower unit prices. The smooth implementa- tion of processes is secured by the highly skilled technical support of- fered by Dreve Dentamid. Further- more, the open system provides maxi- mum flexibility in selecting intra-oral scanners and the corresponding soft- ware. The entire process is carried out in the company’s factory in Unna in Germany, allowing the models to be sent out within 48 hours. In addition, Dreve has introduced a whole new system for impres- sion-taking: Dynax. Owing to more ac- curate and user-friendly impression silicones, the entire process now takes less than 3 minutes, according to the company. High hydrophilicity ensures outstanding sharpness of detail, while its intensive snap effect allows a long working time, but a short curing time. Superior mechanical properties pro- vide high safety and, owing to a scan- nable surface, the silicones can be used with digital processes. Dynax comes in five different ver- sions: Dynax mono, Dynax putty, Dynax heavy body, Dynax light and Dynax clear. As the all-rounder, the thixotropic Dynax mono allows pre- cise impressions for all common indica- tions with only one material. Non- sticky and easily kneadable, Dynax putty was developed as a reliable aid for complex impressions, such as in case of a reduced dentition with peri- odontal damage. The addition-curing tray-type silicone Dynax heavy body is a very thixotropic and stable cartridge material that can be combined with the thin-flowing corrective silicone Dynax light. With its excellent flow and hydrophilic properties, Dynax clear further allows the dentist to check the details during impression-taking.

Some of the features of the scan- nable impression silicone line Aqium 3D have been considerably improved. Furthermore, the product group has been strategically extended with Aqium 3D PUTTY STANDARD for a wider range of applications. “While this is just the first step towards 3-D printing technology, there are many more to follow,” com- mented Jens Günther, Marketing Manager at Müller-Omicron. Visitors can look forward to pro- fessional consultation, live demon- strations and samples at the Müller- Omicron booth (Hall 4.2, J090– K099).

Featuring small, lightweight hand- and mouthpieces, it will not only lead in ergonomics, but also challenge existing market prices by offering highly competitive pricing without compromising qual- ity, the company said. “In the development, our focus has been to bring a scanner to mar- ket that easily fits into the modern dental practice and workflows. We achieved a sleek and small, light- weight, ergonomic design in a solu- tion that delivers great depth percep- tion, colour recognition and speed.. We understood that, first and fore- chitecture. It is compatible with most dental CAD systems, ensuring maxi- mum flexibility for laboratory inte- gration. With the help of live video feed and guidance tools, the user is guided through performing a scan of the full dental arch in one workflow. The scanner itself is intuitive and ex- tremely easy to use with its light- weight and compact design and a ro- tating tip that provides the best an- gle for scanning, according to the company. Heron IOS facilitates auto- mation in the practice’s workflow, as well as great communication options both between the dentist and the lab- oratory and between the dentist and the patient. scanners,” said Thomas Weldingh, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “However, we rec- ognised that dentists and clinics that primarily perform the most common restorations and a limited number of impressions per year have different needs. With them in mind, we have created a scanner that covers all common features and restorations. Heron IOS takes up its own spot in the middle segment of the market as the sensible and smart choice—the ‘Volkswagen’ of scanners.” Heron IOS will be available later this year, with shipments expected to commence in the fourth quarter.
