| industry news solutions for endodontic treatment VDW: Endodontics with a system Every dentist wants to perform safe and efficient endodontic treatment to preserve patients’ teeth for as long as possible, but can root canal therapy be easily integrated into general everyday practice? With almost 150 years of experience in endodontics, VDW provides perfectly coordinated solutions for the four key stages of endodontic treatment: preparation, irrigation, obturation and post-endodontic care. “We offer new solutions that save time, simplify procedures and ensure the long-term success of treatments. We have adapted all of these innovations to VDW’s entire system solution approach,” said Arjan de Roy, Commercial Development Director of VDW. “We demonstrate that endodontics as a system solution pays off.” Simple preparation perfectly combined No dentist wants to deal with the hassle of an instru- ment breaking—for his or her own sake and above all that of the patient. Reasons for a fracture can be many and varied, including a complicated root canal anatomy, incorrect preparation techniques or poor processing of materials. Especially with severely curved root canals, a broken-off file can be removed only with a great deal of patience and skill. However, the alternating motion of reciprocating instruments, such as RECIPROC, significantly reduces the risk of file breakage. With RECIPROC blue, VDW went one step further: the latest generation of the single-file system is particularly flexible owing to a revolutionary production process. The result is a significantly reduced risk of fracture and even greater safety for the dentist and patient. With the RECIPROC blue, VDW provides the most effective tool for preparing all canals. No endo without an endo motor In modern treatment, wireless endodontic motors for reciprocating and rotating file systems have proved to be reliable. The handling of VDW’s motors is extremely simple: fully rotatable contra-angle hand- pieces with small heads allow easy access, excellent visibility and quick change of rotation. For optimum use and patient information, there are now also apps available with many functions, including preset pro- grammes and a file library. Different file sequences and precise torque specifications allow safe opera- tion while the dentist can also inform and best advise the patient. The innovative VDW.CONNECT Drive wire- less motor combines all of these advantages for opti- 42 roots 2 2017
