Product Highlight Amann Girrbach More Durable and Cost-Effective Ceramill PMMA Products With its relaunch, Amann Girrbach structures its Ceramill PMMA material range more accurately and increases the maximum wearing time to three years. At the same time, laboratories will benefit from the lower costs. The innovations in the portfolio include materials for temporary crowns and bridges, splints as well as casting and pressing. Ceramill A-Temp ML replaces Ceramill Temp ML as a material for longterm temporary restorations and will in future, be available as a monochrome as well as a multilayer blank in the most common A-D shades, according to the VITA shade guide. Due to the unique shade synchronisation with the materials of the Zolid zirconium oxide portfolio, A-Temp forms the perfect basis for the fabrication of highly aesthetic crowns and bridges. In addition, the material will also be available in block form, opening up new possibilities for intelligent stock-keeping with both AG and universal mandrel. Under the name A-Splint, Amann Girrbach introduces new PMMA blanks for the fabrication of CAD/CAM-manufactured splints with up to three years’ retention time in the patient’s mouth, replacing the Ceramill Splintec Standard product. In the area of casting and pressing, A-Cast succeeds the previous Ceramill PMMA blanks. The long-established products Ceramill Temp and Ceramill Splintec from Merz Dental will continue to be part of the portfolio. In addition to longer wearing time and lower costs, there is yet another advantage: Amann Girrbach introduces standardised sizes and new intermediate sizes in the course of the relaunch. Thus, all blanks are available in heights of 14, 16 and 20 mm (A-Cast only 14 and 20 mm). As a result, the right blanks can be found for every size of restoration. ■ Directa Everything Needed for a Successful Extraction The ability to reduce trauma during tooth extraction has become extremely important, especially for patients requiring subsequent implant placement with minimal bone lost. Modern implant techniques require real alternatives to traumatic forcep extractions. The Luxator ® instruments were invented by a Swedish dentist to make extractions as trauma free as possible. He developed subtleties in the design that only a practicing dentist would appreciate. Available in eight different blade shapes, Luxator ® Periotomes from Directa offer a safe and precise solution for successful extractions. The fine tapered blade compresses the alveolar ridge, cuts the membrane, gently eases the tooth from its socket which reduces damage to surrounding tissue, and also keeps a better anatomy for an implant site. The shape and size of the handle is designed to minimise the force needed during extraction. The thin blade easily inserts between the bone and the root with minimal damage. The Luxator ® product line also includes the Luxator ® Dual Edge Periotomes which have an innovative dual purpose tip ideal for probing deeply fractured teeth and decayed roots. On the other hand, the Luxator ® Periotome Titanium is distinguished by their gold coloured blades, coated with titanium nitride, which allows for easier access into the socket and offers enhanced durability. Also, the titanium coated tip does not require sharpening. Finally, the Luxator ® LX Mechanical Periotome sets a new standard for trauma free extraction offering improved safety, precision and access. Its self-directing tip allows the periotome tip to follow the root surface, reducing the risk of bone damage. Its reciprocating tip enables a secure cutting of the fibres in a patient friendly way. Manufactured with Swedish stainless steel, Directa instruments are extremely durable, retaining their strength and sharpness even after repeated use and sterilisation. With their acclaimed ergonomic handle Luxator ® Instruments, Directa is recognised worldwide for providing one of the best surgical instruments on the market. ■ 66 DENTAL ASIA JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2019
Renfert Wax Set for Functional Modelling and Creating Restorations Renfert has now launched another wax range: the GEO Expert Functional Wax-Set. It shows both dental technicians and dentists how to create a functional wax-up according to NAT (natural wax-up technique). True to the company’s motto, “Making Work Easy”, the six modelling waxes are colour coded according to the natural wax-up technique by MTD Dieter Schulz and the accompanying guide by MTD Oliver Dreher. It provides users an interference-free, supported, stable and efficient reproduction of functional and lifelike occlusal reconstruction of morphology and restorations. Therefore, the new Design Wax Set is an ideal addition to the exclusive GEO Expert Wax-Up Set by A. Bruguera found in Renfert’s GEO Expert Wax line. → THE EVOLUTION OF PROPHYLAXIS COMBI touch → AIR-POLISHING AND ULTRASOUND IN ONE UNIT → easy switch from supra to subgingival air-polishing by a simple click → subgingival perio air-polishing tip – flexible, soft and anatomically adjustable to the periodontal pocket → more than 40 inserts for scaling, perio, endo and prosthetics → soft mode: the ultra-gentle scaling for sensitive patients Colour-structured segmented wax-up according to NAT The accompanying manual is printed in colour was developed by Renfert in collaboration with Oliver Dreher. It contains basic information on the segmented wax-up technique and the Occlusal Compass, as well as practical information on the individual modelling waxes. With this manual and its photos and illustrations, it is possible to follow how the NAT is created to produce lifelike occlusal surfaces. The opaque GEO Expert Functional modelling waxes have excellent modelling and carving properties – in particular, when using an electric modeling instrument such as the Waxlectric. In addition, the six modelling waxes are also available as individual refills. According to the Schulz/Polz philosophy, functional and structured wax-ups based on NAT can be created using hard waxes: • GEO Expert Functional Wax green: for segments influenced by mediotrusion (MT). • GEO Expert Functional Wax blue: for segments influenced by laterotrusion (LT). • GEO Expert Functional Wax gray: for cusps influenced by lateroprotrusion (LPT). • GEO Expert Functional Wax yellow: for cusps influenced by lateroprotrusion (LPT). • GEO Expert Functional Wax orange: for segments influenced by medioprotrusion (MPT). • GEO Expert Functional Wax red: for precise waxing of the preparational margin. ■ → www.mectron.com → www.we-love-prophylaxis.com JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2019 DENTAL ASIA 67
