PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Amann Girrbach
Amann Girrbach’s new milling unit to improve the digitisation of dentures
Amann Girrbach has released the
new Ceramill Motion 3, an intelligent
hybrid machine designed to make
fabricating dentures more convenient
and digital. At the same time, users can
benefit from a variety of materials and
indications as well as the company’s
high fabrication quality.
The Ceramill Motion 3 is designed for
wet and dry operation. The five-axis
milling machine operates autonomously
and can therefore manufacture
unsupervised during night-time or
on weekends when connected to the
AG-Live platform. Users can access the
intelligent hybrid machine remotely
to receive orders safely and quickly,
as well as monitor everything related
to production and customer service.
Additionally, the integrated analysis
functions allow workflows in the
laboratory to be analysed and optimised
on an ongoing basis.
Guided computer-aided design (CAD)/
computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
production and maintenance, an
intuitive human machine interface
(HMI), as well as integrated radio
frequency identification (RFID) tools
and holders ensure process reliability
and facilitate the handling of tools and
consumables. Innovative sculpturing
technologies, such as C-Clamp, allow
fissures to be milled into the front
surface of the restoration with the
Ceramill Motion 3.
“The machine thus meets the needs
of both the dental technician as well
as the laboratory manager and marks
a milestone in the digitisation of
dentures,” said Nikolaus Johannson,
head of the global business unit lab
CAD/CAM at Amann Girrbach. ■
Oral-B
Oral-B introduces new AI-integrated electronic toothbrush
Oral-B has announced its latest
technological innovation, the Oral-B
iO10 with iOSense, an artificial
intelligence (AI)-integrated device at the
Mobile World Congress Barcelona.
The new iO10 is accompanied by a smart
device called iOSense, which offers realtime
guidance with the aid of AI and a
personalised brushing experience that
ensures healthier gums and teeth.
In the press release by Oral-B, the new
iOSense will guide users in when, where
and how to brush their teeth. It also
comes with a magnetic charger that
charges the brush in about three hours.
For users on-the-go, it comes with the
Power2Go charging travel case.
The Oral-B iO provides a deeper
clean of teeth and gums, allowing
users to maintain oral health easily
and effectively. Compared to manual
toothbrushes, the Oral-B iO helps users
to get six times more plaque removal
along the gumline, and healthier gums and
whiter teeth in one week.
Benjamin Binot, senior vice-president
of P&G Europe Oral Care, said: “The
innovation represents a new era of
brushing that is more than just an electric
toothbrush – it’s a fusion of groundbreaking
technology, desirable design and
amazing performance. iO10 with iOSense
is our latest commitment to building
a digital health ecosystem that leads
with advanced technologies, accessible
solutions and more effective educational
tools to improve oral care and health for
all.”
Maike Siemons, Europe R&D Oral Care
leader, also commented: “Our clinical
tests show that Oral-B iO delivers a
deeper clean of teeth and gums
versus a manual toothbrush,
but now with iOSense, the
personalised brushing experience
will revolutionise our entire
relationship with our oral
health.”
According to Oral-B, in a sixmonth
clinical study, 96%
of patients using Oral-B iO
moved from non-healthy to
healthy gums, users have 14.5
times higher odds of moving
from non-healthy gums to
healthy gums compared to a
regular manual toothbrush,
and Oral-B iO removes 62%
more plaque than Sonicare
DiamondClean SMART
along the gumline and
26% more plaque in hardto-reach
areas. ■
