6 INDUSTRY Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 3/2017 EVO.15 - The world's safest contra-angle, developed by Bien-Air By Bien Air BIENNE, Switzerland: In response to public health authorities’ growing concern over patient burns caused by rotary dental instruments, Swiss medical technologies company Bien- Air Dental has developed the EVO.15, the safest contra-angle on the mar- ket today. In procedures involving contra-an- gles, the slightest contact between the instrument’s push-button and the inside of the patient's cheek may cause the instrument to overheat, resulting in possible burn injuries. "While overheating can be an indica- tion of a damaged or clogged instru- ment, laboratory evaluations reveal that this hazard is just as prevalent in new and properly-maintained handpieces," says Clémentine Favre, Chief Technical Officer. She goes on to specify that the most severe cases have caused third-degree burns re- quiring reconstructive surgery, and potentially exposing the practitioner to lengthy legal action. the EVO.15 features a considerably smaller and lighter shockproof head and premieres technological inno- vations ranging from a new spray/ lighting system to an improved bur-locking system. Committed to safety, the EVO.15 gives progressive dental practitioners peace of mind in all situations. Equipped with patented Cool- Touch+™ heat-arresting technology, the EVO.15 is the only contra-angle proven never to exceed human body temperature. After years of research and development, this technology works to protect both the patient and the clinician during some of the profession’s most frequently per- formed procedures.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art showroom and facilities for local cus- tomer support and service, the office centre, which began operating in No- vember, will be an important contact point for Indian customers. “With the local presence of our sales and service team we can establish a direct link to the Indian customers. This is an important basis to build up a good reputation and create confidence of our Indian users with the W&H and Planmeca products we sell,” said Raghavan Radhakrishnan, General Manager of W&H India and Planmeca India. In addition to the institutional sec- tor, particular focus will be directed towards the private sector, as the demand for innovative, high-tech solutions for efficient patient care is currently growing in India. “This is a terrific new dawn for Planmeca in India,” commented Planmeca Vice President of Sales Jouko Nykänen. “We are extremely excited about the country’s growing dental mar- ket and will utilise this new kind of grassroots partnership and partner support model to provide increas- ingly better customer experiences in India,” he added. Commenting on the cooperation, W&H Managing Director Peter Mal- ata remarked: “The collaboration with Planmeca, also a family-run en- terprise with advanced technology, allows for synergies of two strong brands. The purpose of establishing a subsidiary in India is to be able to learn first-hand the needs of den- tistry in India. The sharing of office space and infrastructure by Plan- meca and W&H will allow us to offer perfect solutions for dental clinics in India. This is what we strive for.” EMS at AEEDC 2017 Raghavan Radhakrishnan, General Manager of the office centre in Bangalore, (left) and W&H Managing Director Peter Malata. (Photograph: W&H) By EMS DUBAI, UAE: Preventive dentistry and oral hygiene was at the center of attention for visitors at the 21st AEEDC Exhibition and Conference in Dubai. Preventive dentistry is a growing field and EMS centers all re- sources on this topic to help dentists and clinics manage it in a profes- sional way. This greater emphasis on preven- tion will translate into fewer cavities and periodontal disease; and shorter treatment times. As the global leader in Professional Prophylaxis and Periodontology, EMS launched the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) concept in UAE and all GCC countries in during AEEDC. The GBT concept was the central theme of EMS’ presence at AEEDC. This concept not only includes the most innovative and state-of-the-art products but also clinical protocols supported by scientific evidence. The Swiss Dental Academy courses are also included in the concept. These renowned courses give clini- cians a complete education on how to use the latest methods and prod- ucts to deliver effective and comfort- able results to patients. Learn more about this innovative concept today or register for a Swiss Dental Academy course!
