PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Mectron
Next-generation ultrasonics
Mectron has developed Micropiezo,
a piezoelectric scaler designed to
simplify day-to-day clinical practice.
Micropiezo helps to minimise
patients’ discomfort when
undergoing a treatment, which, in
turn, increases the quality of care for
both the patient and the clinician.
The compact, ergonomic and
minimalistic MICROPIEZO device is
the ideal solution for meeting the
needs of hygienists and their patients.
Supporting the needs of hygienists
and their patients, the compact and
ergonomic Micropiezo is packed
with a ultra-slim ultrasonic handpiece
with circular LED light for optimal
illumination surrounding the treatment
area at all times and a multifunctional
touch keyboard with colour coding
according to the clinical indication
selected.
Micropiezo features three functions
with 12 dedicated power settings:
scaling and perio, endodontic and
prosthetics.
The Soft Mode ensures ultra-gentle
scaling for sensitive patients. This
function avoids excessive ultrasound
oscillation, allowing a gentle and
efficient insert movement. ■
Kerr Dental
Power obturation with no strings attached
Obturation is a critical step in root canal
procedure as it helps to prevent leakage,
entomb remaining bacteria and reduce the
chance of reinfection.
The elements IC obturation system from
Kerr Dental is designed to be used with
the Continuous Wave warm vertical
condensation technique. The new extended
battery life and inductive charging base
makes the elements IC the latest technology
for 3D endodontic obturation without cords
or wires getting in the way.
With elements IC, users can get excellent,
predictable results faster and easier, and
rely on its longer lasting battery, inductive
charging, and a comfortable, ergonomic
design.
The downpack device provides fast heating
of the heat plugger with precisely controlled
temperature and timing, making it suitable
for single-motion downpack obturation of the
apical portion of the root canal. It features an
adjustable heating range from 140-400°C and
heats to 200°C in less than 0.5 seconds.
The ergonomic backfill device features
a motorised extruder system for precise
temperature and speed control for a 3D
obturation of the root canal system, utilising
single-use gutta percha cartridges.
“I really liked elements IC. Thanks to the
developments, it is faster and more efficient
to work with, than elements Free. I like that
I can check the gutta percha level on the
backfill unit. Easier to keep it clean thanks
to the new induction charger. My assistant
loves it. Thanks to the ring button on the
backfill unit more comfortable to use under
microscope,” said Dr Janos Zoltan from Nagy,
Hungary. ■
