Dental Updates Align Technology announces exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Ultradent Products Align Technology, Inc., a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures and sells the Invisalign system of clear aligners, iTero intraoral scanners and exocad CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, has announced an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Ultradent Products Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of high-tech dental materials, devices, and instruments worldwide. As part of the multi-year agreement, Align will offer Invisalign-trained doctors an exclusive professional whitening system with the leading Opalescence PF whitening formula from Ultradent, optimised for use with Invisalign clear aligners and Vivera retainers. The system will carry the co-branded name of “Invisalign Professional Whitening System – powered by Opalescence” and will offer the same great whitening outcomes and streamlined practice experience dental professionals expect from the Opalescence PF product during active tooth movement with Invisalign aligners, as well as during passive retention using Vivera retainers. The Invisalign Professional Whitening System will be commercially available globally in 2022. “A brighter, whiter smile is an important part of the Invisalign patient journey. In fact, a survey of North American Invisalign practices1 shows that half of their patients ask for teeth whitening during or after they complete Invisalign treatment,” said Raj Pudipeddi, chief product and marketing officer, SVP, and managing director of the Asia Pacific region at Align Technology. “We believe that by providing an all-in-one solution that combines a leading teethwhitening system with the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, we enable Invisalign-trained doctors to enhance their patients’ treatment experience with a seamless workflow that also enables practice efficiency and growth. We’re very excited to partner with Ultradent to offer the first professional whitening system optimised for use with Invisalign clear aligners and Vivera retainers. Invisalign system trained doctors can use Opalescence PF for in-office teeth whitening treatment and for doctor supervised athome whitening.” “We’re honoured to partner with Align to make the top professional teeth whitening products available to more clinicians and patients around the world,” said Dirk Jeffs, president and chief executive officer of Ultradent. “Providing Align with teeth whitening products, ideal for use with Invisalign aligners and Vivera retainers, is a considerable step toward our mission of improving oral health globally and we look forward to pursuing this mission together.” ■ Ultradent is an ISO13485 certified facility and will manufacture the products according to those standards. 1 2017 online survey of Invisalign doctors, data on file at Align Technology Amann Girrbach introduces fully automatic Ceramill Map 600+ The fully automatic Ceramill Map 600+, Amann Girrbach’s new scanner flagship for open articulator scanning, excels with outstanding precision for perfect restorations and optimally supports dental technicians in their work. The new high-performance scanner heralds the advent of Industry 4.0 in the laboratory. The intelligent software algorithm automatically assigns the upper and lower jaws, thereby eliminating the vestibular scan and up to 30% of the manual steps in the laboratory. Due to its integrated universal carrier plate for all common types of articulators, the Map 600+ saves timeconsuming plate changes and the intelligent scan height control automatically moves the object to be scanned into the best possible scanning area. In parallel, Amann Girrbach has equipped the Map 600+ with an Ultra HD camera. The highly sensitive industrial 3D sensor with blue light technology ensures outstanding depth of field and a scanning accuracy of four micrometres. The optimal use of the advantages of digitisation and a seamless workflow requires precise conversion of the model situation from the real articulator into a data set. The new, more efficient calculation algorithm also reduces the matching time by up to 35%, depending on the indication. This reduces the active waiting time of a scanning process by up to 25 seconds. Depending on the indication, the Ceramill Map 600+ therefore provides time savings of between 15-38%. ■ 8 DENTAL ASIA NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2021
