Product news The corrosion of erosion
The consumption of soft drinks, fruit juices and sports drinks continues to rise. The erosive nature of these drinks is well documented, which raises the question: what can be done to provide protection against their damaging effect? One study found that toothpaste containing stabilised stannous fluoride provided significant acid protection over that provided by conventional fluoride products. This is strongly attributable to the high
bioavailability of stannous fluoride in the formula.
It is believed that toothpastes containing this ingredient produce a protective barrier layer that remains on the tooth for hours after the products use. It is this, the authors conclude, which helps protect enamel against the initiation and progression of dietary acid attack. Oral-B Pro-Expert toothpaste contains a combination of stabilised stannous fluoride and sodium hexametaphosphate. Preventing enamel loss is just one benefit of Pro-Expert. It also helps protect against plaque, gum problems, caries, calculus formation, dental hypersensitivity, staining and oral malodour.
Life-changing solutions
“I’ve been using the All-on-4 treatment concept for about seven years, and you can offer an immediate solution in most cases,” according to Dr Riz Syed from Leading Dental Implants. “Patients’ biggest worry is having to wear a denture and the All-on-4 treatment is life-changing for them.” Offering an innovative alternative to dentures, the All-on-4 treatment from Nobel Biocare gives edentulous patients back their smile and their confidence. It uses just four implants to support an immediately loaded full-arch prosthesis, restoring a fully
functional and natural-looking smile in a single appointment. The ground-breaking concept is supported by years of clinical research, finding an impressive 94.8-98 per cent survival rate between five and 10 years after surgery.

Visually perfect results Bifix Temp combines highest
aesthetics and simplest applicability and thus makes visually perfect results possible for temporary restorations. The translucent and tooth-like shade universal ideally adapts to highly aesthetic temporaries, does not shine through and promotes the natural appearance of the temporary treatment. Thanks to film layers of below 5µm in
thickness, temporaries can be luted to fit perfectly and without time-consuming finishing work. Dual-curing is facilitated by the composite-based material, which can be worked for approximately 90 seconds and self-cures within four minutes. Use of a polymerisation light can shorten the setting time.

Clarity to impress
The more visible the details in a dental radiograph, the quicker and more precise the diagnosis. Dürr Dental’s new VistaPano uses S-Pan technology to provide unrivalled clarity.
Until now, modern digital devices have generated panoramic images along a prescribed contour, which follows the jaw line of an ‘average’ person on the axial plane.
S-Pan technology works completely differently. A huge number of parallel layers are segmented and the system selects the images which best match the actual anatomy of the patient. The result is an image with impressive clarity.
