A2 ENDO TRIBUNE Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 6/2019 Dentsply Sirona launches the TruNatomy™ solution, redefi ning root canal treatment Combining Swiss precision and advanced engineering, the TruNatomy™ range offers clinicians a solution that provides effi cient performance and increased respect of the tooth anatomy, combined with a smooth user-experience. By Dentsply Sirona TruNatomy’s™ unique combination of features was developed in part- nership with skilled practitioners, Dr. George Bruder and Dr. Ove Peters, leaders in the fi eld of endodontics, working in partnership with the Dentsply Sirona’s Maillefer Research and Development Engineering teams. TruNatomy™ capitalizes on Dentsply Sirona’s 130 years of expe- rience in manufacturing fi les like ProTaper® and WaveOne® Gold fam- ilies. Combining Swiss precision and advanced engineering, the TruNato- my range offers clinicians a solution that provides effi cient performance and increased respect of the tooth anatomy, combined with a smooth user-experience. Additionally, there is a growing in- terest in maximizing the preserva- tion of dentin in endodontics and TruNatomy™ addresses that need, thanks to its slim, highly-fl exible al- loy wire and regressive taper. TruN- atomy™ enables clinicians to pro- vide a smooth predictable root canal treatment even in cases with curved canals or limited straight line ac- cess. TruNatomy™ is available with matching ConformFit gutta-percha points, paper points and irrigation needle. Innovations simplify traditional workfl ows “Our developments in consumables provide solutions to dentists’ chal- lenges in fi lling treatment and en- dodontics as well as with the emerg- ing digital dentistry,” says Thomas Leonardi, Group Vice President Con- sumables Dental Product Group at Dentsply Sirona. And, as a result we expect reduced chair time for our patients and improved patient sat- isfaction.” – Respect of the natural tooth anat- omy thanks to its superior canal centering ability. The instrument ad- justs to the canal (and not the other way around). – A smooth experience with fi les that, progress down the canal with almost no screwing in effect, giving you a full sense of control during the whole preparation. a n o r i S y l p s t n e D © With a unique set of features, TruN- atomy™ offers a host of benefi ts in- cluding: – Better performance and more space for debridement and debris removal thanks to a new fi le design with an enhanced off-centered cross section, a slimmer NiTi wire. Its high- er speed of operation provides great- er effi ciency with less torque. – Preservation of the tooth integrity achieved by the combination of the fi le geometry, the slim wire and its increased fl exibility together with a shorter 9.5mm handle that perfectly fi ts micro-head handpieces, allowing to perform effi cient root canal treat- ments without straight line access, only removing dentin where clini- cally needed. – Simplicity since this single-fi le shaping system (following the use of the TruNatomy™ Orifi ce Modi- fi er and TruNatomy™ Glide Path) is an easy to learn rotary endo solution complemented by matching paper points, Conform Fit™ gutta-percha points and a fl exible irrigation nee- dle.

New Propex IQ® apex locator from Dentsply Sirona: Cutting-edge technology for more effi cient root canal treatments By Dentsply Sirona With Propex IQ®, Dentsply Sirona is now launching the fi rst apex loca- tor on the market that can be com- bined with a smart handpiece – the X-Smart IQ® – and that can be fully integrated into an iPad platform – the Endo IQ® application. The apex locator offers clinicians the latest technology for root canal treatment to the highest standard. In root canal treatments, it is im- portant to work with extreme ac- curacy and precision. For every root canal that needs shaping, the dentist must determine the working length. The new Propex IQ® apex locator from Dentsply Sirona Endodontics brings state-of-the-art technology to endodontic practice. The accurate and reliable detection as well as the visualization of the progression of the endodontic fi le in the root canal – which can be compared to a park- ing sensor in the car – provide secu- rity for the dentist and enable him to focus more on the patient. Propex IQ® offers the most compre- hensive package of tools when the apex locator is used together with the X-Smart IQ® handpiece and the Endo IQ® application. It is a consist- ent ecosystem where Endo IQ® is the core and Propex IQ® and X-Smart IQ® are the functional supplements. When the devices are used together, they allow clinicians to custom- ize individual settings before the treatment of the canal they want to treat. If the feature Shaping Tar- get for instance is enabled, once the pre-set point has been reached, and auto-reverse feature is activated, the X-Smart IQ® handpiece automati- cally changes the motions of the fi les and reverts them back. A further advantage: With the app, clinicians can monitor the progression of the fi le on their iPad throughout the full course of the treatment. “Digital technologies can bring real added value to clinicians in endo- dontic practice today”, says Valerie Baschet, Group Vice President Global Endodontics, Dentsply Sirona. “At Dentsply Sirona we are pleased that our new Propex IQ® apex locator combines latest technology with our many years of experience in endo- dontology. This way, we help clini- cians to treat the root canals even more effi ciently and accurately.” It is planned that Dentsply Sirona will further expand its endodontic prac- a n o r i S y l p s t n e D © The Propex IQ® apex locator with the X-Smart IQ® handpiece and the Endo IQ® platform: Cutting-edge technology for more effi cient endo treatments. tice ecosystem based on the Endo IQ® software with further elements in the future. With a weight of just 80 grams, the apex locator is ultra-light and port- able. The device can be placed on the tray during treatment. Propex IQ®, X-Smart IQ® and Endo IQ® can be used together for 16 treatments without having to re-charge the batteries. The smart handpiece is er- gonomically shaped and meets the highest demands of everyday prac- tice. It is connected to the apex lo- cator with a cable. The communica- tion to the Endo IQ® app takes place wirelessly. Firmware upgrades for using the Propex IQ® apex locator and X-Smart IQ® handpiece are fully integrated in the Endo IQ® applica- tion and can be easily installed by updating it. Propex IQ® can also be used modularly, without the smart handpiece and the app. Find out more by scanning the QR code.
