A8 INDUSTRY NEWS Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | May 2018 Ultra-bright light is ultralight in weight High-def, uniform light with maximum intensity ByEDesignsEffrEVisifnEStaff CDA BOOTH NOS. 846, 1202 headlights. You can choose imaging high-definition with either a wired or wire- less design to meet your preference, and either HDi headlight will illuminate the entire oral cavity. AAPD BOOTH NO. 626 Designs for Vision is introduc- ing an advanced photonic design that provides uniform light dis- tribution with maximum inten- sity. The patent-pending head- lights optically focus the light from the LED to provide 45 percent more light with uniform distribution. The new LED DayLite® Micro HDi™ uses the new high-definition imaging in an ultra-lightweight headlight in combi- nation with the new Micro power pack. According to the company, the Micro is the market’s lightest and smallest power pack. The complete unit includes two power packs, and each power pack can run up to 10 hours. Designs for Vision also has added high-definition imaging to the LED DayLite WireLess Mini HDi, providing a lightweight cordless solution with light intensity comparable to many corded Designs for Vision’s Wire- Less headlights free you from being tethered to a battery pack. The simple modular designs uncouple the headlights from a specif- ic frame or single pair of loupes. Prior technology married a cord- less light to one pair of loupes via a cumbersome integration of the batteries and electronics into the frame. The compact design of the LED DayLite WireLess headlights are independent of any frame/loupes. Designs for Vision is also featuring the “REALITY five-star-rated” Micro 3.5EF Scopes, which use an innovative optical design that reduces the size of the pris- matic telescope by 50 percent and re- duces the weight by 40 percent — while providing an expanded-field, full-oral- cavity view at 3.5x magnification. High-definition headlights optically focus the light from the LED to provide 45 percent more light with uniform distribution.

Designs for Vision has expanded into a new 67,500-square-foot location at 4000 Veterans Memorial Highway in Bohemia, N.Y. You can visit www.DesignsForVision. com/move.htm to check out some photos of the new facility. You can see the Visible Difference® yourself by visiting the Designs for Vi- sion’s booths, No. 1202 or No. 846, at the 2018 California Dental Association meet- ing in Anaheim.

Bulk fill composite easily adjusts to the tooth ByEDr.EJfsephEKim When it comes to composite restorations, dentists are often asked to sacrifice speed for qual- ity, or quality for speed. This has been especially true when it comes to bulk fill composites, which brought the promise of larger increment sizes, but required specialized equipment or were otherwise difficult to handle. Now, clinicians can have a com- posite that easily adapts to the tooth and can be used in a true bulk fill tech- nique. REVEAL® HD Bulk is BISCO’s new bulk fill light-activated restorative com- posites, optimized for simpler and faster posterior restorations. REVEAL HD Bulk combines appropriate handling, depth of cure and polishability, which enable clinicians to provide patients with func- tional and esthetic composites while sav- ing valuable chair time. REVEAL HD Bulk allows for layering increments up to 5 mm due to its pre- dictable depth of cure. This feature is ac- companied by low volumetric shrinkage, high flexural strength and excellent ra- diopacity, resulting in long-lasting, dura- ble restorations. While REVEAL HD Bulk is indicated for all direct and indirect res- torations, clinicians will appreciate the significant time savings that bulk filling provides, especially in posterior teeth. Like other restorative composites, it CDA BOOTH NO. #400 AAPD BOOTH NO. 611 is important to maintain adequate isolation to prevent contamina- tion of the tooth from saliva and blood. When indicated, use of a sectional matrix system with significant separating force will ensure excellent adaptation to the proximal margins, as well as, interproximal food minimize impaction. After excellent isolation has been achieved, a universal bond- ing agent such as ALL BOND UNI- VERSAL® is applied to all prepared surfaces according to manufacturer instructions. When possible, it is ideal to selectively etch the enamel surfaces where the composite is intended prior to application of the bonding agent, result- ing in minimal long-term marginal leak- age and dentinal sensitivity issues. Depending on operator preference, a flowable composite resin may be used in the deepest and least accessible areas of the preparation, including undercuts and the cavosurface margins of proximal boxes. The appropriate shade of REVEAL HD Bulk can be placed in a single incre- ment for most Class 1, 2 and 3 restora- tions. For preparations that include areas that are deeper than 5 mm, it is advisable to build the restoration in appropriately sized increments. Keep in mind, that due to its unique chemistry, care should be taken to avoid unnecessary exposure to light, including from ambient and over- REVEAL HD Bulk is BISCO’s new bulk fill light-activated restorative composite, which is optimized for simpler and faster posterior restorations.

Finally, the restoration can be finished with fine diamonds and finishing car- bides, followed by finishing points. It is worth noting that since REVEAL HD Bulk’s viscosity has been tuned for bulk fill applications, it is preferable to limit occlusal carving and shaping to primary anatomy prior to curing. After curing, greater detail may be added with finish- ing burs, as needed. Alternatively, when darker or opa- ceous restorative composite shades are required, REVEAL HD Bulk can by placed and cured short of the occlusal cavosur- face margins. The final layer can be a traditional restorative composite in an ideal shade and opacity. Because REVEAL HD Bulk is universally compatible, it will serve as an excellent base under all light- activated restorative composites. REVEAL HD Bulk has been specifically designed to address the needs of clini- cians who require the speed of a bulk fill restorative composite without sacrific- ing strength and ignoring esthetics. It is currently available in the most com- monly used shades, from A3 to B1, in both syringe and unit dose form.
