Product news Celebrating Orotol’s 50th birthday


Dürr Dental will be giving away three 20-gram gold ingots in 2015 to mark the 50th anniversary of their suction cleaner, Orotol. In 1965, Ludwig Pflug developed the first Orotol formula along with Walter Dürr. 50 years later, his son now heads the Hygiene division at the disinfectant’s manufacturing company Dürr Dental, and Orotol has taken its place as the flagship amongst their hygiene range. With Orotol


the bactericidal,


fungicidal, and partially virucidal agent even works against non-enveloped viruses such as adenovirus and noroviruses. Furthermore, in addition to tuberculosis agents, it also eliminates the hepatitis C virus. It therefore comes as little surprise that it is recommended by leading manufacturers of treatment units.


Those wishing to be in for a chance of winning one of the gold ingots should register at www.orotol.de


Compact line Milling Unit M1


The development of the compact line was based on the proven M5 milling unit technology of Zirkonzahn’s flagship range and is available in several models designed to match the needs and budget of any-sized dental laboratory looking to take advantage of computer-aided manufacture. The four-axis Milling Unit M1 Abutment model can, for example, process precast titanium abutments Raw-Abutments as well as glass ceramics. The


Raw-Abutments can also be processed with the Milling Units M5 and M Wet Heavy with the aid of the Raw-Abutment Holder.


Alternatively, the M1 Soft, M1 Wet, and M1 Wet Heavy Metal models are provided with intelligent five-axis orbit technology to deliver the ultimate in versatility. This means that milling is possible in any conceivable plane – even undercuts and diverging abutments are processed simply and fast.


Access for all Look, no hands!


Most practices these days will have made provision for disabled patients, however, there’s more to be considered in addition to how they enter and leave the building. Taking X-rays, for example, must also be accessible to patients in a wheelchair. Such logistics are effortless with Durr Dental’s new VistaPano.


Accessibility does not


compromise quality. The VistaPano uses S-Pan technology to provide unrivalled clarity. An extremely large number of parallel layers are segmented and the system automatically selects the image parts which best match the actual


Dürr Dental’s new ‘Touchless’ contact-free soap and


anatomy of the patient. The result is an image with impressive clarity. Radiation safety is also optimised. The VistaPano S can take a panoramic image in just seven seconds, meaning patients are exposed to the lowest possible radiation dose. The equipment also adapts the dosage according to 17 different programmes.


Networking –


not just for computers Networks for X-ray systems and practice management software are commonplace at many practices. Networking can also now be achieved with your compressor and suction system. By linking them to the network, practices can see the performance of each piece of equipment at a glance.

Linking the compressor to the digital network yields numerous benefits, such as displaying current status, faults and messages. Advanced suction systems, such as Tyscor from Dürr Dental, are network-enabled making them exceptionally efficient, using as little as half the electricity as their predecessors.


disinfectant dispenser combines good looks with impressive functionality. The failsafe automatic sensor reacts as soon as your skin comes within its detection range, dosing exactly the right dosage of liquid.


It can be used for disinfectant, liquid soap or hand lotion. Its aluminium, anodized casing hinders the growth of bacteria by virtue of its bacteriostatic effect. Not only is it easy to use, it’s also easy to clean. Five replaceable single cell batteries, which last up to two years, ensure long and reliable service.


This new dispenser is part of the reliable range of hygiene products from Dürr Dental. For more information visit www.duerrdental.com


Every journey begins with the first step


How many of us would welcome the opportunity to improve the alignment of our teeth – no matter our age – and with it the chance to smile more confidently? Irish Tatler Man’s editor Alexander Fitzgerald has just embarked on such a journey using the Invisalign system. The treatment begins when his orthodontist Dr Muireann O’Donovan takes an impression of his teeth to enable a detailed treatment plan to be developed using ClinCheck 3D software. This shows the series


of movements Alexander’s teeth are projected to go through during his treatment. Dr O’Donovan said: “As soon as we have the 3D digital images we will share the projection with Alexander. Our patients really love the digital ‘reveal’ showing how their teeth are expected to look, and we are keen to see how Alexander reacts.”
