Two great educational
options side by side
By Robin Goodman, today Staff
Attend today’s session
n Those willing to take a walk to the
far north side of the exhibit hall will
be richly rewarded by two great educational options side by side (if you
land at Grant’s Tomb, you’ve gone too
far!). The floor space where 425 people
are seated and 30 more are standing
at the back of the crowd is none other
than the Live Dentistry Arena.
On Tuesday, the Live Dentistry
Arena’s morning session featured
Dr. Ross W. Nash who presented
COMPONEERS™ by Coltene. He demonstrated a direct composite resin veneer
technique that incorporates a prefabricated enamel layer.
The technique allows Nash to place
direct composite resin veneers in about
half the time he normally uses to place
freehand composite veneers.
The afternoon session featured Dr.
Raymond A. Yukna’s presentation
on “The Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP).” Attendees
walked away with an understanding
of the scientific basis for the LANAP
procedure, how to verify appropriate
tissue interactions and what a laser
wound looks like.
Be sure to come early for today’s
session on “DentaVerse™ Live: Anterior
Esthetics — Problems and Solutions.
What To Do … When, Why and How?”
This double session will detail the
clinical, financial and human considerations when patients desire treatment
Today from 12:30–1:30 p.m. in
aisle 5000, Dr. Selma Camargo will
present “Diode Laser Applications
in Soft Tissues.” This lecture will help
attendees understand the functionality, importance and applications of
diode lasers in soft-tissue procedures
as well as learn how to perform these
procedures. They’ll see just how easy
it is to operate a laser and how to implement this technology into their dental
practices after deciding if they actually
need a soft-tissue laser. Laser fundamentals will explained along with the
effects of lasers on biological tissue.

for anterior teeth that require esthetic
and possibly implant treatment. The
program features the input of 12 leading clinicians who address diagnosis,
treatment options, patient questions
(including financial ones) and how to
ensure that your lab delivers what you
require. The live patient demonstration
will include preparation techniques,
provisionalization, prosthetic fabrication and placement.
Right next door to the Live Dentistry Arena is the Dental Tribune
Study Club C.E. Symposia. Tuesday’s
lineup featured six lectures ranging
from topics such as predictable endodontics, creating an online presence,
predictable implants, direct posterior
composites and optimizing endodontic treatment.
Today there are three more options
for C.E. credit by Drs. David Peck, Ron
Kaminer and Selma Camargo. Peck
will focus on implementing lasers into
a general practice while Kaminer will
demystify new concepts in cariology.
Camargo will clarify the diode laser
applications for soft tissues (See box
above for more details).
Be sure to visit www.DTStudyClub.

Integrate lasers into
your daily practice life
By Kristine Colker, Managing Editor
▲
▲
n TODAY from 10 to 11 a.m. in
aisle 5000, room 3, Dr. David Peck
will present “Implementing Dental
Lasers in the General Practice: A
Real-World Report” as part of the
DTSC Symposia.
In his session, he will focus on
lasers and dentistry. Lasers improve
clinical results, open new treatment
paradigms, simplify many common
headaches and provide real, tangible
return on the investment.
Peck talked to today about what to
expect from his symposium.
Dr. Peck, you are presenting a
DTSC Symposia session called
“Implementing Dental Lasers in
AD
the General Practice: A Real-World
Report.” Would you give us a brief
overview of your session?
The lecture encompasses the total
general dental practice and the implementation of a dental laser on a daily
basis. It is not used for one procedure
or one type of patient but is integrated
into the daily use in the dental office.
It is an integral part of delivering
world-class dentistry in a painless,
comforting environment.
How did you first begin using lasers in
your own dental practice, and what is
it about them that you like? Was there
something in specific that made you
want to try them?
I first got certified in 2000 with the
use of an NdYag laser at the Univer-
sity of California at San Francisco
and have never looked back. I have
always liked being on the cutting
edge and delivering the best quality
of care for my patients.
You talk a lot in your session about
the advantages of using lasers —
both clinical and financial. Could you
give us a little insight into what some
of those advantages would be?
Clinical advantages are quick healing and treating a condition in the
moment, which provides benefits to
dentist and patient. No longer is referral to a specialist necessary to provide the basic dental care in a general
dental practice.
The financial advantage is huge.
As a general dentist, we must have
many streams of income to provide
for a financially profitable practice.
By keeping procedures in-house, we
achieve this and more. Patients love
to remain with the general dentist and
not go elsewhere.
But remember, education and
hands-on education is a must, and
no short cuts qualify. The practice
should see at least a 5:1 return on its
investment.
If someone is interested in starting to
use lasers in his or her own practice,
do you have any tips or advice for him
or her?
Just do it. No justifying or deliberating. Look at the equipment as an
investment in their dental practice
financially and emotionally. And, as
always, ask if the addition provides
a higher level of care to our patients.
If an attendee is interested in going
to your session, is there anything
he or she should be aware of ahead
of time? Is your session aimed at
specialists or is it more of a general
topic?
Be open minded and come to learn and
leave with a new sense of encouragement that there is so much dentistry
sitting in their charts that they will
have to do.
The session is aimed at all dentists
but specifically at general dentists. I
am a general dentist who has chosen
a journey of knowledge, passion and
enthusiasm in my practice, and I have
chosen to share that information with
others.
Your session is sponsored by Biolase.
How did you begin working with the
company and what is it that you like
about its products and services?
About the speaker
David I. Peck, DMD, graduated with
honors from Northeastern University
in Boston with a bachelor’s degree in
pharmacy in 1979. He continued on to
graduate in 1983 from the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
He completed his general practice
residency at Danbury Hospital in Danbury, Conn., and regularly upgrades
his expertise as a dentist by taking advanced dental courses at the Las Vegas
Institute. Peck was certified at the University of California at San Francisco in
laser treatment for cosmetic soft tissue
re-contouring and periodontal therapy.
He specializes in a wide array of
cosmetic dentistry procedures, including dental implants, crowns, dental
veneers, bridgework, teeth whitening
and composite bonding.
I started using a Biolase product,
the iPlus, about one year ago. Because
I had used lasers in my practice for
the last 12 years, the company was
interested in my opinion.
I had resisted hard-tissue lasers for
years and had in my practice diode,
medical grade CO2 and NdYAg lasers.
I felt the addition of one laser uncomplicated my life and made practicing
easier.
I also found the present company to
be ethical and true to its word.
If there is one thing you hope
attendees to your session come
away with, what would it be?
Dentistry is amazing and the success
of a dental practice is all encompassing. We must master or bring in segments to our practice that include
clinical and practice management.
It is not enough to become proficient with a piece of equipment, but
then to know how to present to our
patients.
But as I tell everyone, what one
dentist can do, so can another.
Is there anything else you would like
to add?
Do not miss this lecture and take
great notes.

Cariology for today’s clinician
By Kristine Colker, Managing Editor
▲
▲
n TODAY from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15
p.m. in aisle 5000, room 3, Dr. Ron
Kaminer will present “Dentistry
101: Demystifying New Concepts
in Cariology” as part of the DTSC
Symposia.
In his session, he will focus on the
doctor and hygienist team, taking
traditional concepts in cariology and
making them current, modern and
extremely relevant.
Upon completion of this program,
if you follow some of the concepts
revealed, expect to see more producAD
tivity and a higher level of care in
your practice.
Kaminer talked to today about
what to expect from his symposium.
Dr. Kaminer, you are presenting a
DTSC Symposia session called
“Dentistry 101: Demystifying New
Concepts in Cariology.” Would
you give us a brief overview of your
session?
The entire dental caries model has
changed over the years. We will discuss current concepts in cariology
and how it relates to diagnosis and
treatment. We will cover traditional
and newer modalities for caries detection including digital X-ray technology.
You talk about taking the more
traditional concepts of cariology and
making them more modern, current
and relevant to today’s dentistry.
What are some of these traditional
concepts that many practitioners go
by that could use such an update?
The old drill-and-fill philosophy
needs to be changed. Including new
chemotherapeutics to combat disease
is essential today. We cannot solely
rely on our dental explorers for diag-
About the speaker
Ron Kaminer, DDS, graduated from the
State University of New York at Buffalo in 1990 and remained in New York
to practice laser and comprehensive
dentistry in Hewlett and Oceanside.
He lectures around the globe on the
subject of integrating lasers into dental practices and is a member of the
Academy of Laser Dentistry, Academy
of General Dentistry, American Dental
Association and Academy of Operative
Dentistry. He lives in Hewlett, N.Y.,
with his family.
nosis because they are not accurate
enough.
In your session, you also get into
digital technology a bit. How do you
feel the move to digital technology
has affected concepts of cariology?
Digital technology can humble even
the most astute practitioner. Finding tiny cavities at their earliest
inception is made easy with new
technology. Early diagnosis leads to
early intervention, which makes for
a better overall experience for our
patients.
If an attendee is interested in going
to your session, is there anything
he or she should be aware of ahead
of time? Is your session aimed at
specialists or is it more of a general
topic?
All the attendee needs to do is come
with an open mind. I will challenge
old concepts while at the same time
making sure new concepts make
sense. This program is especially
great for hygienists and doctors.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 28, 2012
Renew your passion for dentistry
By LVI Staff
n Welcome to the Greater New York
Dental Meeting 2012, and congratulations on actively moving your understanding and professional success
forward.
It is only through excellent education that we can individually grow
and develop as dental health professionals and, through that, build a
practice that is not just successful
but delivers comprehensive and highquality care.
As a patient, I expect the best
care I can find. As a dentist, I want
to deliver the best care possible.
That takes us to the power of continuing education and, as dentists, we are
faced with many choices in continuing education.
As a way to introduce you to the Las
Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental
Studies, or LVI, I want to outline
what LVI is about and what void it
fills in your practice. The alumni
who have completed programs at LVI
were given an independent survey,
and unlike the typical surveys of
dentists, 99.7 percent love being a
dentist, and of those surveyed, 92
AD
5
The Core I program (Photo/Provided by LVI)
percent enjoy their profession more
since they started their training at
LVI. That alone is reason enough to go
to LVI and find out more.
While the programs at LVI cover
the full breadth of dentistry, the
most powerful and life-changing program is generally reported as being
Core I, or “Advanced Functional Dentistry — The Power of Physiologic
Based Occlusion.” This program is a
three-day course that is designed for
clinicians and their teams to learn
together about the power of getting
their patients’ physiology on their
side.
In this program, clinicians can
learn how to take control of their practice and start to enjoy the full benefits
of owning a practice and providing
high-quality dentistry. Regardless of
whether it is a solo practice or a group
setting, every dentist can start the
process of creating comprehensive
care experiences for their patients.
We will discuss why some cases
dentists are asked by their patients
to perform are actually dangerous
cases to restore cosmetically. We
will discover the developmental science behind how unattractive smiles
evolve and what cases may need the
help of auxiliary health-care professionals to get the patient feeling
better.
The impact of musculoskeletal
signs and symptoms will be explored,
and we will look at how the supporting soft tissue is the most important
diagnostic tool you have — not simply
the gingiva but the entire soft-tissue
support of the structures and not just
in the mouth but also in the rest of
the body.
A successful restorative practice
should not be built on insurance reimbursement schedules. An independent business should stand not on the
whims and distractions of a fee schedule but rather on the ideal benefits of
comprehensive care balanced by the
patients’ needs and desires.
Dentistry can be a challenging
and thankless business, but it doesn’t
have to be. Through complete and
comprehensive diagnosis, there is
an amazing world of thank yous and
hugs and tears that our patients bring
to us when we change their lives. The
Core I program at LVI is the first step
on that journey. That’s why when
you call, we answer the phone: “LVI,
where lives are changing daily!”

The pursuit of BruxZir
anterior esthetics: part 2
By Michael C. DiTolla, DDS, FAGD
n In an effort to increase the indications for BruxZir ® Solid Zirconia
crowns, the research and development department at Glidewell Laboratories is working to increase the
translucency of this monolithic zirconia material.
While the dental laboratory is not
yet to the point of being able to do
veneers, anterior BruxZir crowns are
starting to come into their own.
In Part II of this photo essay, the
reverse preparation technique is used
to prep tooth #8 (a natural, endodontically treated tooth) and #9 (a failing
PFM) for BruxZir crowns.

Fig. 1
I use the 801-021 round diamond bur
from the Reverse Preparation Set
(Axis Dental) to cut a half-circle into
the gingival third of the tooth. This
half-circle is the formation for the
perfect margin.
Fig. 2
I make my next depth cut to ensure
adequate incisal reduction. I use the
MADC-020 bur (Axis Dental) to place
2 mm depth cuts in the incisal edge of
#8 to give the technician a good opportunity to build an esthetic, strong
incisal edge.
I complete the preparation sequence
using the MADC-015 (Axis Dental),
856-025 (Axis Dental) and Alpen 379023 burs (Coltène/Whaledent).
Fig. 3
The next step of the reverse preparation technique is to place the #2E
Ultrapak top cord (Ultradent). Packing this second cord can be difficult;
you can’t floss it into place interproximally like you can with the first cord
because doing so would disrupt the
bottom cord, which we want to stay
firmly planted at the base of the sulcus.
Here at the GNYDM
For more information on BruxZir Solid
Zirconia crowns and bridges, stop by
the Glidewell Laboratories booth, No.
4400. To view a live video of this
case, visit the video gallery at www.
glidewelldental.com.
Fig. 4
Once the top cord is in place, you get
one last look at your margin. I am
not entirely happy with what I see
because the shape of my margin does
not match the contour of the gingiva.
I prepped the margin with a super
coarse 856-025 bur, which left little
chips, so I use my fine grit 856-025
bur to get rid of that choppiness.
After placing two ROEKO Comprecap
Anatomic compression caps (Coltène/
Whaledent) for eight to 10 minutes, we
can remove the top cord and take the
impressions.
Fig. 5
The patient returns after five days for
temp removal and final BruxZir crown
try-in. The BruxZir crowns fit well,
so it is time to start the cementation
procedure.
Zirconia crowns are susceptible
to salivary contamination when they
are tried in the mouth. Fortunately,
Ivoclean™ (Ivoclar Vivadent) was
released earlier this year, specifically
for the purpose of cleaning out restorations prior to bonding or cementation.
I place a couple drops in both of the
crowns. The drops will stay in place
for 20 seconds before being rinsed
away.
Ceramir ® (Doxa Dental), which
contains the same phosphate groups
that bond to zirconia, can now be used
to cement the BruxZir crowns.
Fig. 6
Here are the cemented final BruxZir
crowns on #8 and #9. I’m not suggesting you switch to this material for all
of your anterior crowns. Unless you
see the patient has broken other restorations or shows higher-than-average
wear, you may be better off sticking
with IPS e.max® (Ivoclar Vivadent) for
this type of situation.
We are getting closer, however, to
BruxZir Solid Zirconia becoming a
go-to anterior crown and bridge material.

Easy as one, two, three
Shofu’s BeautiBond
seventh-generation
bonding agent is simple
to use and provides results
Here at the GNYDM
Visit Shofu at booth No. 3207 for more
information.
By Fred Michmershuizen, today Staff
n BeautiBond™ is a seventh-generation bonding agent developed by
Shofu. This new product contains
unique dual adhesive monomers that
work independently to produce equal
bond strengths for dentin and enamel.
Available in convenient unit doses,
BeautiBond offers easy, one-step, onecoat applications.
Just ask Howard S. Glazer, DDS,
a general practitioner who has been
using the new product for some time
now at his practice in Fort Lee, N.J.
“I have been a seventh-generation
user from the day it was introduced
and have used every one on the market, and I am telling you — this one is
hot, and it is getting hotter,” Glazer
told today.
BeautiBond’s enhanced bond
strength rivals that of leading sixthgeneration adhesives, but with the
convenience of a seventh-generation
material.
“It will definitely get people who
have been hesitating to switch. In fact,
it makes ‘the leap’ so much easier, and
‘the leap’ is in quotes because there is
no leap really,” he said.
Glazer said he likes BeautiBond

because it incorporates two separate
chemistries that bond to both the dentin and the enamel.
He also likes that it works with a
very low micrometer thickness, leaving no gap of potential porosity for his
patients.
The light-cure, self-etching adhesive has a film thickness of less than
5 micrometers for better adaptation
of restorative materials and is ideal
for highly esthetic and minimallyinvasive restorations.
Another huge plus, Glazer said,
is the ease of use the product offers.
BeautiBond requires very few steps
and the unit dose delivery is stable, for
excellent chairside handling.
“There is no fumbling, no mixing,
no shaking,” Glazer said. “Just look
at the steps card — it is as easy as one,
two, three.”
A single application of BeautiBond
requires just 30 seconds for a durable,
reliable bond. High-bond strengths
are achieved because of BeautiBond’s
HEMA-free composition, resulting
in virtually no gingival blanching,
which is normally caused by the
combination of HEMA and the acid
monomer.
BeautiBond is an all-in-one adhesive that enables etching, priming and
bonding in one simple step for a wide
rangeofapplications.Itcanbeusedwith
any composite resin on the market,
and is ideal for use with Shofu’s Beautifil® II composite restorative material.
Beautifil II, designed for any application, is wear-resistant with low
shrinkage and has a “chameleon-like
quality that allows for a harmonious
blend of shades with natural tooth
color, yielding ideal fluorescence and
optical characteristics that mimic
natural teeth,” according to a review
by Glazer.
An inquisitive practitioner who
is always looking for increased efficiency, Glazer typically tests half a
dozen or so new products every month.
“I want things that are faster, easier
and better, not only for me, the doctor,
but also for the ultimate end user — the
patient,” he said. “After all, we’re in
the smile business, so we like to keep
everybody smiling.”

DrQuickLook: The age of handheld dental imaging
By DrQuickLook Staff
n In the recent presidential election,
just how many times was the word
“change” mentioned by the candidates? The reason is that this word
“change” has the ability to conjure up
the good things that can happen when
you let go of the present way of doing
things and look to a new and exciting
direction.
DrQuickLook™ represents a new
frontier in dental imaging by allowing the patient to view teeth on a
screen that is held in their own hands.
The power of this is difficult to put
into words. The advent of cellular
phones has literally put the world
at our fingertips. People of all social
backgrounds can see images in their
hands that they could only dream of
before. DrQuickLook puts the patient
in the position of holding the fate of
their dental care in their own hands.
Seeing is believing!
The ease with which DrQuickLook
is used by dental staff, who need
virtually no training, has led some

to observe, “It’s just a viewer.” This is
100 percent correct. It’s just a viewer
that allows patient to see exactly
what you see.
It’s just a viewer that allows the
dentist to show the patient problems
during treatment quickly and clearly.
It’s just a viewer that lets you walk to
the reception area to talk with a parent or guardian. That’s the beauty of
hand-held dental imaging.
Users say DrQuickLook can really
sell dentistry. It doesn’t.
DrQuickLook validates what dental professionals tell patients, allowing them to make the commitment
to treatment and feel comfortable
about it. This results in the patient
not only making the next appointment but keeping that appointment.
For more information on DrQuickLook,
stop by the booth, No. 3829.
DrQuickLook becomes the patient’s
second opinion. Immediate confirmation equals treatment success.
A successful dental practice is one
that takes advantage of the strength
of unique advances in science.
Clearly, DrQuickLook represents an
advantage that can outpace nearly all
others on a value basis.
The ability to have every staff
member learn to use DrQuickLook
in a matter of minutes is critical to its
success. So many dental dollars are
spent on items that never provide any
return on investment.
Placing a DrQuickLook in your
patients’ hand today will give you
control over your practice. No more
empty operatories —- just satisfied
patients who can see and appreciate
the care you deliver. DrQuickLook
can deliver this and so much more.

Advanced LED
optics solutions
for your practice
n Here at the GNYDM, DentLight is
offering a number of innovative LED
optics solutions to help you build and
increase revenue, including Fusion,
rated by Clinicians Report as one of
the best curing lights. In fact, it is so
advanced and so much more than just
a curing light it is offered as a “dental
oral exam” (DOE) system.
The Fusion-DOE Kit is available at a
special price during the GNYDM: $1,797
(regularly $2,500). As Dr. Richard Liu,
president of the Plano, Texas-based
manufacturer, explained, in addition
to its curing functions, Fusion’s highcontrast fluorescence imaging can also
be used for oral-cancer screening and
its transillumination for caries and
lesion detection.
Liu said the light has a patented
focused beam that allows a composite
to cure four times faster than other
lights, and its double depth penetration means it is the best light for bulk
curing.
“This just blows everything else

on the market away,” Liu said. “There
isn’t anything else like it currently
available.”
He said the light adds to profitability
for the dentist, offers increased marketability potential for new patients,
and is particularly effective in detecting HPV virus-induced lesions on the
back of the throat because of its high
fluorescence image contrast and small
size, which makes access easier.
Scott Mahnken, a dental industry
consultant who works with DentLight,
said the light means less clutter in
the dental office, more efficiency and
increased revenue.
“Fusion offers the fastest ROI of any
product I have seen,” Mahnken said.

said: “When it comes to curing lights,
I have long been a fan of the Fusion
from Dentlight for its power, ease of
use and value for the nominal cost.
The Fusion DOE Kit comes with a
snap-on head for the Fusion light as
well as snap-on filters for your loupes.
I am a firm believer in and advocate
for oral-cancer prevention through
early diagnosis, and the DOE system
is a very good way to conduct a fast
and non-invasive examination of the
oral cavity.”
As noted in the recent Clinicians
Report, only 50 percent of dental hygienists are conducting potentially lifesaving oral-cancer screenings.
Dr. Gordon Christensen said: “We
can do better. We need to observe it
earlier! We have the responsibility
to observe and question oral lesions.
Fluorescence is a viable adjunct to
mandatory visual and manual oral
cancer screenings because it reveals
abnormal cells before they may be
noticed visually.”
Several other lighting solutions are
available from DentLight. The Nano
loupe light offers the smallest overall
light with focused power and three
digital brightness levels. It allows the
dentist to see caries and helps improve
posture and vision.
In addition, for proper eye protection, a laser filter converts a regular
magnifying loupe into a laser loupe,
which Glazer considers a “must-have”
product when doing laser procedures.
Edge matrices for celluloid restorations
By Dr. Laurence Berenholc-Bury
n Co-form is an innovative composite
product for restoration of complex
incisal edges and dental fractures. It
is applicable for all kinds of fillings.
The pre-formed matrices consist
of celluloid, are easily adaptable to
the tooth and therefore facilitate a
natural-looking restoration.
In addition, the matrices are easy
to position and easy to remove without drag. The matrices come in sets of
mesial and distal edges for incisors
and canines.
They are also available in four
sizes and can be used in almost all
clinical applications.
An easy system for difficult
restorations
Teeth in need of major restoration are
difficult to repair. Moreover, both the
patient and the dentist expect durability, a bio-compatible filling as well
as a natural color, all achieved during
a simple and rapid one-time-only visit
to the dentist.
The pre-formed celluloid matrices
are simple, speedy and uncomplicated compared with other restoration options.

Reduction of chairside time
The reduction of chairside time for
each restoration amounts to five to
10 minutes by employing modern
matrix technology combined with
light-cured composites. The finishing
and polishing phases are also less
time-consuming. And finally, the preformed matrices are user-friendly.
Consequently,

Advantages and use of celluloid
matrices
As for conventional dentistry, the
cavities are filled by layers. The only
difference is that when the last is
light-cured, the matrix is pressed
against the soft composite, resulting
in a natural and healthy surface look
of the restored dentistry.
The composite is light-cured
through the transparent matrix. To
counter the loss of light through the
pre-formed matrix, the composite is
light-cured once again after removal
of the matrix.
This technique has proven to be
advantageous in many ways. The composite surface is hard and requires no
final polishing, because the surface is

as smooth as that of the natural teeth.
Any final adaptation is minimal or not
needed at all.
Improved results with
transparent matrices
Scientific studies have proven that
the hardest composite surfaces can
be obtained through transparent
matrices and reflecting edges. Other
studies have shown in connection
with the light-curing processes of
metal matrices that obvious sealing problems occur. The composite matrix surfaces are 10 times as
smooth as surfaces made by conventional matrix methods.

Keystone Industries’ Gelato Prophy Paste
PhotoMed’s polar_eyes
Keystone Industries’ newly
reformulated Gelato Prophy Paste
has received rave reviews from
the dental field. Recently the gelato
paste was evaluated in more than
2,500 uses by 35 consultants. Overall, the paste received a 91 percent clinical
rating. Forty percent of consultants found Gelato Prophy Paste better than
other prophy pastes they had used, and 43 percent found it to be equivalent.
Sixty-three percent of consultants would switch to Gelato Prophy Paste, and
80 percent would recommend it.
Reviewer comments included “easy to rinse” and patients “liked the flavor
variety.” One tester said it “does not feel gritty in the mouth.”
Gelato Prophylaxis Paste provides smooth, pliable and splatter-free application. The 1.23 percent fluoride ion gelato paste is perfect for high-luster
polishing and stain removal, but it remains gentle on the enamel with minimal enamel loss. Gelato paste comes in boxes of 200 individual disposable
cups for convenient use. For more options, the paste comes in 12-ounce jars
(exports only).
Keystone Industries continues to put forward a large assortment of flavors
such as orange sherbet mint, bubble gum and raspberry.
