Dental Tribune Asia Pacific Edition | 1+2/2018 BUSINESS 09 zotome’s ergonomics makes the de- vice naturally intuitive and reliable. Furthermore, it enables surgeons with less experience to perform a variety of treatments. In accord- ance with the cutting selectivity, soft tissue (membranes and nerves) is preserved. During piezoelectric surgery, fine and precise cuts mini- mise bone loss. In 98 per cent of cases, patients do not need to use analgesics postoperatively and barely any swelling is observed. Sur- gery with Piezotome Cube main- tains the patient’s quality of life,” said Trödhan. In implantology, bone grafting materials may be necessary for the implant to succeed. For this reason, QUALIOS was developed, and it was first introduced at IDS 2017. The ma- terial has a unique bone-support- ing structure and high level of me- chanical resistance. Its large inter- connected pores make it particu- larly suited to bone colonisation, and it is completely resorbable, en- suring high-quality bone regenera- tion. Being entirely synthetic, it is free of any contamination risk that comes with products of animal or human origin. It is clear from this that QUALIOS complements ACTEON’s implantology product line. In ACTEON’s continuous prod- uct expansion, patients’ well- being continues to be the top priority. We felt the passion employees put into their daily work to support ACTEON’s inno- vative portfolio for imaging and piezoelectric surgery. These prod- ucts have positioned the com- pany as a pioneer in oral surgery and dentistry. They are less inva- sive, safer and faster to operate, and provide patients and practi- tioners with the best treatment options available. AD tion and ensures that the levels of exposure are kept low. User-friendly software Computer scientists would say the software is as important as the hardware. ACTEON provides intui- tive and ergonomic imaging soft- ware that has all the required func- tions—scanning, measuring, edit- ing, commenting. In the factory cel- lar, Reither explained the special features of the ACTEON Imaging Suite software and stated that it can be linked to most practice manage- ment software and all ACTEON im- aging products, such as the X-Mind trium, CBCT and panoramic de- vices, and intraoral scanners. It is compatible with both macOS (and soon iOS) and Windows and has a TWAIN driver for full compatibility with all imaging software. This gives practitioners the ability to move around and interact directly with their patients. The radiographic unit is in con- tinual operation at most dental practices. It is clearly imperative then to ensure that dental profes- sionals have the skills to adequately handle the devices and take high- quality images with the correct set- tings. “The user-friendly software enables the customer to either use the workstation provided or use their own. However, with the work- station provided, our professional and efficient team of service techni- cians can perform remote connec- tions to solve problems of configu- ration or calibration. We want our customers to choose the software option that is best for them,” ex- plained Reither. Safe surgery X-Mind trium offers extraordi- nary functionality in the field of im- plantology, making it suitable for more demanding treatments. Mis- leading or insufficient information obtained from a radiograph can lead to the loss of an implant, one of the worst scenarios for both the pa- tient and the dentist. “In pre-im- plant procedures, accurate meas- urements of the bone density and volume are essential to guarantee a higher success rate in implantol- ogy. The 3-D capability of X-Mind trium also facilitates safer osseo- integration,” said Giani. Clinical decision- making has seemingly be- come easier than ever with X-Mind trium. Certainly, our tour would not have been complete without a look at ACTEON’s well-known Piezotome ultrasonic brand. Thousands of dentists worldwide have adopted the company’s celebrated Piezo- tome devices as their choice for pre-implant surgery, with Piezo- tome Cube representing ACTEON’s new stan dard. It is a powerful ultra- sonic device with a rotary motor, as well as a handpiece and a tip, ensur- ing optimum performance. Lead- ing oral surgeon and implantolo- gist Dr Angelo Trödhan successfully uses Piezotome Cube in his every- day treatment procedures. “The Pie-
