Endodontic aspirating tip for the root canal
Coltene is pleased announce the addition of Surgitip-endo to the Surgitip and Endodontic range. Surgitip-endo is an aspirating tip specially designed to dry root canals. The innovative design of the suction tip allows for a multi- directional flexibility, it can easily be introduced into hard-to- reach root canals without having to bend the canal tip.
Aspiration is
highly effective at all angles and visibility
is not constricted. Surgitip-endo removes rinsing solutions and moisture quickly and effectively, shortening the drying time considerably so less paper points are required.
Surgitip-endo is delivered with a double adapter for adapting the tips (ø 6.5mm) to ø 11 mm and ø 16 mm aspirating equipment.

Effective disinfection
Alkapharm’s Protein Testing Kit has been scientifically developed to instantly help determine and monitor the effectiveness of the day to day cleaning/disinfection procedures within the dental practice.
The presence of proteins upon any hard surface would suggest that potentially harmful bacteria may also be present.
In the case of equipment or clinical surface previously considered as clean then identifying the presence of protein will indicate that further cleaning is required and also
help identify
that only detergent/disinfectant products that will achieve adequate levels of decontamination will be in use within the practice. Each kit will allow for 20 individual tests with each test taking just a few minutes to identify protein levels as low as 20ppm on hard surfaces to include: surgical/ medical/dental instruments; washer disinfectors, ultrasonic cleaners, autoclaves; and clinical surface areas, medical furniture and equipment etc.

Practice makes perfect
Prestige Medical is pleased to announce that Smileright has chosen their Advance B Class Autoclave to provide instrument sterilisation in the prestigious new Cardiff clinic opening on 4 February within Boots the Chemist on Queen Street.
Smileright clinics are expanding into central locations in Boots stores around the UK. Advance is already installed in Smileright clinics in Basingstoke, Cheltenham and the London Barbican.
Charles Quail of Smileright said: “We chose the Advance autoclave initially because, although compact, it has a higher capacity than many other autoclaves on the market –
making it ideal for our busy clinics. Having the option of using vacuum or non-vacuum cycles on the one unit also gives us the flexibility we need. We have been so impressed with the quality of the equipment and the excellent service we have enjoyed from the team at Prestige Medical, that we didn’t hesitate to choose an Advance for our clinic.”

Now’s the time to floss
The chances are your patients good intentions to take better care of their teeth might be starting to wane by now and New Year’s resolutions may have fallen by the side.
Now’s the time not to be despondent but take hope as Oral-B’s Pro-Expert Premium Floss is easier to use and more effective than its predecessor. The monofilament strand is non-shredding and slips easily through the tightest of contacts. In clinical trials 75 per cent of patients preferred this type of
floss and sited ease of use as the main reason.
Combating flossing inertia amongst patients will never be easy, but hopefully with Pro-Expert Premium Floss they’ll be running out of excuses why they haven’t ‘cleaned in between’.
With any luck, flossing can become as firmly established as brushing is in their daily oral care regime.
