Product news Value in disinfectors
Dolby Medical, Scotland’s leading Dental LDU supply and servicing company, has launched a free training and advice service for dentists in the use of washer disinfectors.
Iain Pryde, Product Manager at Dolby Medical, said: “We were the chosen partner for the NHS in the installation of hundreds of washer disinfectors across Scotland. We have accumulated a great deal of expertise in helping with this transition and in showcasing the real value this equipment brings.” Dr Alan McClure from Partick Dental Practice said: “We find our dental nurses can now spend more
time with patients and less time in the LDU – another surprise to us was the total cost per cycle, it’s a lot less than we originally thought.”

Yes, you cannula
All cannulas in the Dürr Dental range share the same quality features – they are ergonomic, free of edges, and comfortable for patients and staff. Their shape means that there are no pressure points in the patient’s mouth and the design facilitates an optimum grip with 30 per cent less suction noise compared to other cannulas.
Dürr produces a surgical disposable sterile-packed cannula, but there is also the Surgical Multi-cannula as a single-use product, which is
made of metal with a slim profile available in either 3mm or 5mm. The Universal Cannula Petito is for younger patients which is extremely small and comes in a range of bright colours. And there’s also the Prophylaxis Cannula, which is effective at suctioning larger particles and/or spray powder.

Is your suction safe?
Regularly flushing out suction units with water isn’t enough to fight biofilm build-up. Nor does using cleaning agents help, because germs/germ-infested films can remain.
Dürr Dental’s opinion is that regular application of disinfectants protects against biofilm formation. It’s not true that aggressive disinfectants, which do long-term damage, are effective.

Disney magic
Oral-B recently presented their new Disney Magic Timer app at a symposium in Poland. With this app, kids are playfully motivated to complete two minutes of brushing. When they brush, Disney and Marvel character images are revealed during the two minutes. Children are able to unlock animations and rewards, ensuring that the app maintains its novelty and transforms the act of brushing into a game.
Paediatric specialists received this interactive app for children with great enthusiasm, as it has already been shown to increase brushing time, which is identified as an area of concern. It’s freely available in many countries and languages (Disney Magic Timer by Oral-B, available on iOS and Google Play). It’s hoped that technology will help positively influence children’s oral health and reduce the incidence of carious lesions and lower DMF levels.
formulated specifically for disinfection of suction units such as Orotol plus. This solution is suited to simultaneous disinfection, cleaning, deodorising and care of suction units and amalgam separators.
