manufacturer news Fotona one of the most versatile curing lights Enhancing laser endodontics Unleash the multispectral power Fotona’s proprietary ASP (Adaptive Structured Pulse) technology rep- resents a step forward with respect to controlling laser pulses in the temporal domain. By introducing a revolution- ary new SWEEPS (Shock Wave Enhanced Emission Photoacoustic Streaming) mode, developed to further improve the cleaning and disinfecting efficacy of LightWalker’s laser-assisted PIPS® endodontic proce- dures. Although the PIPS® irrigation is very effective, its cavitation dynamics is still much slower than what it could be if not slowed down by the friction on the root canal walls. With the specially adapted SWEEPS pulse structure, a faster photoacoustic collapse can now be produced even in narrow root canals, re- sulting in the emission of a large number of enhanced pressure waves throughout the canal. This is a very exciting develop- ment. With SWEEPS-supported endodontics, you not only im- prove the streaming of irrigants throughout the complex root ca- nal system, but also enhance the direct removal of the smear layer and disinfection, potentially eliminating the need for the use of aggressive irrigants. that is the VALIANT from Vista Dental Vista Dental Products introduces the VALIANT LED curing light that produces uniform, high-intensity light in the 395–500 nm wavelength range. As a multispectral curing light, VALIANT is capable of polymerising nearly all light-cured dental materials, making it one of the most versatile curing lights on the market. The VALIANT combines an optimised clover-shaped LED ar- rangement with precision optics to provide a uniform beam through three curing modes (standard, ramp, boost) for user preference. The irradiance is 1,200 mW/cm2 for standard and ramp modes, and 2,500 mW/cm2 in the boost mode. The VALIANT also has a transilluminator for detecting fractures, cracks and residual caries. The VALIANT is ergonomic in style and lightweight, weighing just 72 g/2.5 oz and its one-button operation is intuitive and makes it easy to use. The VALIANT is cordless and contains an inductive charging removable battery provides >= 150 20 second-curing cycles. The VALIANT curing light starter kit comes with the handpiece, two rechargeable batteries, a charging base, 100 protective sleeves and a light-attenuating shield. The VALIANT is the smart choice over other curing lights as it is efficient, lightweight and provides a substantial cost SAVINGS compared to curing lights from other leading brands. www.fotona.com www.vista-dental.com Swiss quality in dentistry Produits Dentaires expands in endodontics Produits Dentaires stands for Swiss quali- ty in dentistry.
