Show Review IDS Cologne 2013

“At some point in time, the dentist is
going to want an all-Sirona office”
An interview with the new Sirona CEO Jeffrey T. Slovin
of film to digital cameras. Today almost
all cameras are digital. In dentistry,
it is primarily a matter of where practitioners are located. In some areas,
it takes longer for adoption, but the
reality is that digital dentistry is the
future. We see it here today at IDS and
it is not a matter of if but when a dental practice will adopt digital. Dentists
want their patients to benefit from
safer and faster treatment solutions,
and I see it coming to life with our
CAD/CAM-for-everyone approach.
And how would you assess Sirona’s
position in this development as
compared to other companies?
These days, many companies talk
about being digital, but the ability to
truly integrate digital technology is an

5

expertise and great competence of
Sirona. With the 25 innovations we
have introduced this year, one can see
the power of Sirona with regard to integrated solutions. While others have
only one digital solution or integrated
workflow, Sirona offers a whole integrated process because our products
can be connected. At some point in
time, we think that the dentist is going
to want an all-Sirona office.
Coming from the US and knowing
the overseas dental market very
well, what kind of differences have
you noticed in Europe and Germany
in particular?
I have been to many countries, but
what I think is in common for all dentists is that they want to practice better,
safer and faster dentistry. All patients
want to spend less time in the dental
chair. This adds significantly to patient
acceptance and their experience. Because of that, digital dentistry, digital
workflows and integrated solutions
matter because not only do dentists
benefit from simplified and faster procedures but primarily the patient does,
too. I think Sirona is in the best position to help dentists experience all the
advantages of the digital workflow.

Jeffrey T. Slovin in talks with Dental Tribune editor Claudia Duschek.

n Sirona Dental Systems has been
operating in the dental industry for
more than 130 years. At the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne,
the company presented 25 hardware
and software innovations to facilitate
the digital workflow in dental practices. Dental Tribune editor Claudia
Duschek had the opportunity to speak
with Jeffrey T. Slovin, who was recently appointed CEO of Sirona, about
his own impressions of the show and
the future trends in dentistry.
Claudia Duschek: Mr Slovin, this
year’s IDS marks your seventh al-

together and your first as CEO of
Sirona. Would you please describe
some of the impressions of the last
days?
I have been in the dental business
for 14 years and I have always enjoyed
the IDS. Since it is my first show as CEO
of Sirona, this IDS will certainly be a
memorable one that I will never forget.
The most exciting development for me
is that the solutions we are presenting
at IDS were engineered in the time
when I was about to become CEO. Seeing all of these products exhibited at the
show is something that makes me very
proud of our employees and company.

With regard to technological developments, I see a lot of companies
trying to establish themselves in CAD/
CAM today, a business Sirona has been
involved in for 28 years. Today we
serve more than 30,000 CEREC customers all over the world. I think that
we are very well positioned to further
drive digital dentistry.
Indeed, digital workflow is one of
the most used expressions these
days. Yet, has digital technology arrived in dental practices?
This digital workflow development is comparable to the transition

Show Review IDS Cologne 2013

DWOS open software platform continues to progress
Further developments aiming for maximized flexibility and optimized workflow presented by providers at IDS Lunch & Learn event
n Two years after having announced
their initiative to solve the problem of
software incompatibility, the three
dental companies 3M ESPE, Straumann
and Dental Wings presented the latest progress on the DWOS open standard software platform at IDS 2013.
The exclusive Lunch & Learn Event,
held on Friday 15 March, illustrated how the commercially available
DWOS open software platform can
build bridges between clinicians, labs
and manufacturers. Over 350 people
attended the event.

Naoum Araj, CEO of
Dental Wings, described
DOWS as a knowledgebased ecosystem
that efficiently
links clinical
information
to

“The main
advantage
of DWOS
is the
open software architecture,
which allows
me to remain at
the forefront of technology and optimise my work-flow.
My team was excited about the new

Thanks to DWOS, dental labs will
now have the flexibility of designing
prosthetics using data from multiple
systems and sources, for example
CBCT/CT, in-lab modesl, chairside intraoral scans, as well as impression scans
received directly from dental practices, according to the companies.
They also said that restorations
can be manufactured in-house as well
as be outsourced to milling centres
that offer high precision and additional material options.

the manufacturing process through
a variety of integrated ‘apps’. When
asked about his experiences with
the platform, Daxton Grubb, President of R-dent Dental Lab, USA, said:

software and we are manufacturing
consistently high quality products.”

Matter explained the integration of
Straumann’s CARES 8.0 into the DWOS
platform, which offers customers the
choice between Straumann validated
solutions or other milling alternatives
for the production of prosthetics. According to Matter, the digital workflow
will be completed by new collaborations with 3M ESPE and Innovation
MediTech, a Dreve company. Using
Trusted Connection with 3M True
Definition Scanner, dentists can now
send digital impressions directly to
labs using CARES 8.0 which design
and order CARES prosthetics. With the
help of the Dental Wings Virtual Model
Builder software, they can order a corresponding high-precision model from
Innovation MediTech, that is required
for finishing the prosthetics, he said.
David Frazee, Vice President &
General Manager, Digital Oral Care,
added that all workflow steps of the
3M ESPE’s LAVA Design software are

now supported by DWOS which further
increases the possibilities for dental
labs and makes digital dentistry more
affordable while generating trusted
connections between all players involved. Furthermore, it has pathed the
way for integrating new materials that
allow dental labs to offer a wider product range. “DWOS has brought consistency and higher quality to our workflow. We can easily work with different
partners as well as outsource the
milling process,” commented Dominik
Mäder from the Zahnmanufaktur in
Bern, Switzerland, when asked to describe the impact of DWOS on his lab.
All parties agreed that DWOS has
opened the way for stronger collaborations between dentists, labs and manufacturers. The open software architecture allows dental labs to integrate
new technology into their current workflow and stay up to date in the rapidly
evolving field of digital dentistry. 7

Show Review IDS Cologne 2013

GC Corporation innovates in Cologne
Improvements and new products in the fields of prevention, restorative dentistry and prosthodontics presented
n Dedicated to the theme of “GC:
Innovative. Restorative”, the dental
manufacturer’s stand at IDS proved
once again that GC never ceases to
innovate, even in more “traditional”
fields, such as prevention, restorative
dentistry and prosthodontics. Among
other products, professional personnel
explained the new everStick product
line’s features (everStick C&B, everStick Perio, everStick Post, everStick
Net and everStick Ortho), which allow
to create various types of periodontal
splints, root posts and bridges quickly
and easily. Innovations were also presented with Fit Checker Advanced and
Fit Checker Advanced Blue, both Vinyl
PolyEther materials in two transparent colours for checking pressure
spots and the fit accuracy of prosthetic
works—for example aesthetic restorations such as crowns, bridges or metal
based restorations and dentures.
Another crowd puller was GC’s
new Fuji IX GP EXTRA, an improved,
self-curing, conventional glass ionomer filling material. Thanks to its next
generation glass fillers, restorations

made with GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA are
said to offer a very high translucency,
that hardly changes over time. Compared with Fuji IX GP FAST the new
Fuji IX GP EXTRA glass ionomer cement also releases three times more
fluoride, the company said.
According to the family-owned
company, other products also attract-

ed huge attention, such as the impression material EXA’lence, which provides dentists and dental technicians
with a complete system that offers
different viscosities and setting times.
In the area of prevention the main
focus was on Minimum Intervention
(MI), a ground-breaking concept that
comprises products like Tooth Mousse
and MI Paste Plus. In addition, SalivaCheck Buffer and the Tri Plaque ID Gel

provide basic saliva diagnostics as
well as impressive caries protection,
GC said.

A visit by Makoto Nakao
Whenever the company’s international trade press conference is held,
Makoto Nakao (Fig. 1), president and
CEO of the GC Corporation, do not miss
the opportunity to greet the audience
and set the stage for the presentations to follow. In his brief welcoming
speech at this IDS, he pointed out the
latest achievement of the company,
which celebrated its 90th anniversary
two years ago. He also provided an insight into the corporate philosophy
“Semui”, an essential working principle of GC and important success
factor, that, according to Nakao, combines selflessness, objectivity and
great wisdom.
Nakao mentioned that GC’s mission as a dental company was to contribute significantly to the improvement of the quality of life all around
the world, which is also linked to good
oral health. The company distinct itself through its effectiveness of its
products and services as well as high
standards in environmental protection and sustainability, he said. Operating on these principles, GC is now
present in markets on five continents
with manufacturing sites in Japan,
Europe, USA and China. Soon, a site in
India will join the group.
The GC International Department
is also going to open office in Switzerland by April 2013 with the goal to
establish a more centralised location.
According to the company, not only
all global operations will be launched
from there but it will also be Nakaos
future workplace.
Henri Lenn, director of Global
Businesses for GC Corporation in
Japan since early 2012, presented the
fruits of the philosophy, such as the
third place among 500 companies
in a 2010 Quality Management Ranking. In the same year, the “European
Foundation for Quality Management”
awarded GC Europe with the quality
seal “Recognized for Excellence”, conferring top credentials and five stars.
Lenn said that GC was also among the
finalists of the current nominations.
Despite difficult market conditions worldwide, the GC Corporation
achieved distinctive growth again in
2012, according to Lenn. He said that
in contrast to general market development, GC will be continuously extending its service and strive to be in direct
contact with dental offices and laboratories.

Customer focus through
high profile and
skill enhancement
Eckhard Maedel (Fig. 2, page 8),
Lenn’s successor as president of
GC Europe, emphasised that the
European market offers many opportunities yet also presents a number
of challenges. Owing to these challenges, GC therefore developed its
commitment to dental services in
Europe far more stringently, he said.
In addition, the company was responding to the diversity of regional
markets with separate branch offices
in central European countries as well
as service teams with experts from
the specialist dental business. He said
regionalism also plays a role at the
GC Campus Meeting and Education
Centre in Leuven, as this is where tailored advanced training programmes
are provided for dentists and dental
technicians in their local language.
Frank Rosenbaum, General Manager of GC Germany, hosted the press
conference, mentioning the broadlybased German “Aktion Volksmund”
campaign, an initiative to provide
information and education about the
opportunities and possibilities of
modern basic dental care for the patients. Later on, interim findings and
results of long-term clinical studies
supported by internationally recognised experts in the fields of restorative dentistry, prosthodontics and
dental materials were presented.
Prof. Reiner Biffar (Fig. 3, page 8)
from the University of Greifswald
in Germany showed the results of a
prospective, randomised, blind study,
which investigated the question of
the clinical performance of the two
glass ionomer materials Fuji IX GP
FAST und EQUIA Fil. The study was
interesting, as practising dentists
were involved as investigators for
the first time, in order to be able to
describe everyday care in dental
practices. Based on Biffar’s presentation, the data showed the restoration
routine and even under these conditions and in compliance with the recommended indications, no adverse
behaviour by the latest generation of
glass ionomer fillings is anticipated
which means EQUIA* is a suitable
material for basic dental care, that
represents an alternative to amalgam
fillings and composite restorations
for small single and double surface
fillings in the appropriate treatment
area.
Frank Rosenbaum stressed that
inter alia GC with its EQUIA product
was “helping to ensure public health
fund patients would not miss out on
medical advances and that EQUIA is
a scientifically backed filling alternative”.
Dr Lohbauer from the University
of Erlangen in Germany reported on
results obtained from tests as part
of the development process for
FujiCEM 2. Compared with FujiCEM
Automix, FujiCEM 2 offers significantly increased flexibility with the
same flexural strength. This produces a more stable luting material,
he said. Lohbauer also concluded
that the newly developed self-adhesive luting cement G-CEM LinkAce
showed superior adhesion to zirconia
compared with similiar products on
the market.

➟
Prof Pekka Vallittu (Fig. 4) from
Finland officially announced the
launch of the new glass fibre-reinforced composite everX Posterior.
The areas in which fibre-reinforced
composites (FRCs) are commonly
used in dentistry are the reinforcement of orthodontic appliances,
removable prostheses, as well as (implant-supported) bridges. It can also
be used as a dental filling material,
to repair veneers and bridges or dentures, as well as for root canal posts,
periodontal splinting and after dental
trauma.

Researchers who have studied
the use of FRCs in dental filling materials have noted that the design of
a biometric restoration structure is
crucial for countering polymerisation
shrinkage more effectively. This is
why everX Posterior was developed as
a composite material developed with
short glass fibres, that mimic the collagen fibres of dentine and therefore
achieve a higher fracture toughness
for restoration (5.1 MPa/m½).
According to Vallittu, the value
exceeds that of dentine, which is a
natural, fibre-reinforced material. The
optimised length of glass fibres with

everX Posterior results in high stability
and hardness as well as effective adaptation of the material to the cavity wall.
Owing to its properties as a substructure, everX Posterior is suitable
for reinforcing composite restorations
for larger cavities in the posterior
area and its exceptional properties
avert cracks and fractures. In order to
achieve sufficient abrasion resistance
and the best aesthetic result, everX
Posterior should always be covered
with a light-curing universal composite, such as GC’s G-aenial family
or other composites available on the
market.

Hans-Joachim Hoof speaks at the International Dental Show 2013 in Cologne.

n French dental specialist Acteon
presented the innovative SoproCare
fluorescence camera, which was first
presented in June 2012 at the Europerio conference in Vienna. Leading
experts demonstrated the camera’s
functions, and industry professionals
were then invited to see for themselves just how efficient the device is
during a live demo.
Hans-Joachim Hoof (general manager of Acteon Germany) opened the
press conference with a brief presentation of the new products. Alongside
X-ray machine X-Mind unity and the
EndoCenter, consisting of an electric
motor and an ultrasound generator,
Hoof also presented the latest generation of ultrasound generators,
Newtron P5 and P5XS, as well as
MeToo, a fast and effective toothwhitening system.

Next to address the audience was
Dr Pierre Montillot (PhD, CEO of Sopro
S.A., La Ciotat, France), who spoke
about his work in the field of fluorescence imaging of hard and soft tissue.
His scientific work in the field ranges
from fluorescence measurements for
different dental tissues and soft-tissue
tumor detection based on induced fluorescence, right through to the detection of specific enamel pathologies
and differentiating between healthy

and infected root cementum. His work
acted as a basis for the development of
the two intraoral cameras, SoproLife
and SoproCare.
The next presentation, from Prof.
Dr Wolf-Dieter Grimm (PhD, MSC,
University Emeritus, Witten/Herdecke,
Germany), focused on the perio-modus
principle used in intraoral camera
SoproCare as well as the initial results
of a clinical and microbiological comparative study that led Grimm to his
conclusion that the intraoral camera
makes a significant contribution to increased effectiveness of conservative
and surgical perio therapy.
Dentist Dr Andreas Kurrek (DDS,
Ratingen, Germany) then spoke about
using SoproCare as a preventative
tool and a way to provide patients
with information and generate (re)motivation.
Kurrek sees fluorescence technology as a way of providing patients
with added value, as it can make
pathological aspects such as tooth decay and gum inflammation immediately visible. Visualization technology
is already gaining recognition in the
field of pediatric dentistry and for
use with anxious patients. A live demonstration then showed how camera
technology can be used in the field. 7

BruxZir Solid Zirconia meets an anterior Aesthetic challenge
A clinical demonstration by Dr Michael C. DiTolla, Director of Clinical Research and Education at Glidewell Laboratory
n As the R&D department of Glidewell
Laboratories refines its processes,
as well as improving the material’s
translucency, aesthetics continue to
improve. Advancements to improve
the aesthetic properties of BruxZir
Solid Zirconia restorations were recently achieved as demonstrated in
this case by Dr Michael C. DiTolla,
Newport Beach, USA.
While Gidewell does not suggest
that dentists suddenly switch all of
their anterior restorations to BruxZir
crowns, they may want to consider using it for patients with parafunctional
habits or old PFMs, where an aesthetic
improvement is essentially guaranteed, the company said.
During the first appointment, the
PFM crowns on tooth #8 and #9 (Fig. 1)
were removed with BruxZir Solid Zirconia crowns (Glidewell Laboratories).
Then the shade was taken with help of
the VITA Easyshade Compact which
displayed the shade in both VITA
Classical and VITA 3D-Master shades.
Next, the selected 2M1 3D-Master

shade tab was held to the tooth, along
with the 1M1 3D-Master shade tab for
contrast.
The shade tabs in the mouth were
photographed. PFG gel was placed
into the sulcus of tooth #8 and #9 with
an Ultradent syringe. Next, they were
anaesthetised with an STA Single
Tooth Anesthesia System device. The

porcelain and metal substructures,

it easily cuts through the existing
PFM. The crown was torqued with a
Christensen Crown Remover.
After using a periodontal probe to
ensure there is enough biologic width
to safely remove some tissue (Fig. 2),
a NV MicroLaser was used to remove
1.5 mm of tissue. With the margins
exposed, a 856-025 bur and KaVo
ELECTROtorque handpiece was used
to drop the margins to the new gingival level.
The dental assistant relined BioTemps Provisionals (Glidewell Laboratories) on tooth #8 and #9 with
Luxatemp provisional material. Using
a thin, perforated diamond disc, the
gingival embrasures were opened
to avoid blunting the interproximal
papilla, as well as to make sure the gingival margins were not overextended
and the emergence profile was flat.
TempBond Clear was used to cement
the BioTemps, and loupes were used to
inspect around the temps and gingival
embrasures for excess cement.
After two weeks, the temps were
removed and the preps cleaned with
a KaVo SONICflex scaler. After trimming the gingival margin with the
diode laser, an Ultrapak cord #00
(Ultradent) was placed, cutting the
cord intraorally on the lingual to avoid
any overlap. A second cord (Ultrapak
cord #2E) was placed before refining
the preparation.

As the top #2E cord on tooth #8
was packed, the top cord on tooth #9
exposed the margin (Fig. 3). Now finishing the preps begun using a fine
grit 856-025 bur.
Two moistened ROEKO Comprecap Anatomic compression caps were
placed on the preps. Then the patient
bit with medium pressure for 8 to
10 minutes. The Comprecaps were removed and the top cords pulled. For
the impression, medium body impression material was applied around the
preparations with a syringe and a bite
registration was taken. Then the temporaries were replaced.
During the third and final appointment—another two weeks later—the
temps were off, the BruxZir crowns
were approved and a layer of desensitizer was placed on the teeth (G5
All-Purpose Desensitizer). A warm Air
Tooth Dryer was used after applying
both coats of the G5, while the assistant placed Z-PRIME Plus inside the
crowns. The crowns were then loaded
with a resin-modified glass ionomer
cement (RelyX Luting Plus Automix)
and seated, using a pinewood stick
to ensure that they were fully seated
and had the same length. In the “after”
picture (Fig. 4b), there is not any porcelain on the BruxZir crowns. 7

n Unveiled for the first
time at IDS in Cologne,
Smart Scaling from
Deppeler has recently
been launched to dental
markets. Designed for
maximum efficiency,
this pioneering periodontal instrument kit
has angulation and ergonomic features that
will allow to do the same
work as up to nine conventional instruments.
In addition, it is allowing much better access
to periodontal pockets,
the company said.
The innovative system also provides practitioners with more comfort
in their daily workflow. Like all Deppeler products, the Deppeler Smart
Scaling has been designed to make
periodontal treatments easier and
more effective. Developed with the
needs of dental professionals in mind,
it is the result of careful and considered research into the shape, the angulations, and the thickness and contour of the blade.
The depth of the pocket is also critical in periodontal procedures, and
Deppeler Smart Scaling is the first
instrument system to allow practitioners to observe the depth of periodontal pockets throughout the descaling
process. According to the company, it
was designed to simplify professional
practices, opening up new possibilities

in periodontal treatments and streamlining procedures by minimising the
number of instruments required.
First established in 1934, Deppeler has been using its technical
expertise and strive for excellence to
service the needs of the dental sector.
Recognised for its high standards and
its total control of the manufacturing
process, the company provides instruments of exceptional quality, ensuring
the highest levels of strength, effectiveness and working comfort. Deppeler also collaborates closely with
dental professionals in order to design
new solutions and offer a range of instruments perfectly adapted to their
needs. 7

DURAVIT 3P by B. & B. Dental
Italian market leader steps ahead with new generation of implants
n With DURAVIT 3P implants, the
Italian market leader B. & B. Dental
is offering a new generation of implants, that is supposed to differentiate itself from other products on the
market with unique and advanced
characteristics.
The contact area between the fixture
and the abutment, for example, is increased by the CONEXA connection
which offers internal tapering (cone
morse) and a hexagonal connection.
According to the company, CONEXA
provides prolonged durability over
time as well as superior stability.
Thanks to the internal hexagon and
the “morse taper” the unscrewing of
dental abutments are reduced while
micro movements can be avoided to
allow an optimal distribution of the
masticatory load.
The colonization of bacteria is
also decreased, the company said.
Owing to the platform switching
that provides different diameters
of the platform and the abutment,
vertical bone loss can also be minimised.

Collar microgroowing helps to
improve primary stability and to
facilitate the placement of implants.

The unique triple thread body with
its 60° beveled profile allows an
easier and less invasive insertion of
the implant body for faster osseointegration. The perfect anatomical
design with a radicular structure
implies a variable degree of tapering, more pronounced near apical
region.
According to the company, it provides high stability even if the bone
is undermined and ensures the full
integrity of all proximal structures.
The self-tapering system consists of
a triple apical groove that was designed with a special skewed section
to promote bone tapering during the
insertion and prevent any trauma
that can result from pressure at the
same time. A “bonefriendly” apex,
which helps to evaluate the floor at
the maxillary sinus, avoids the risk
of perforation.
B. & B. Dental S.r.l. says to be one
of the few Italian companies to use
high technological decontamination
procedures, such as the bombardment of accelerated ions with Argon
Plasma, for carefully cleaning the
surfaces of its equipment and re-

move contaminants efficiently from
the implants.
With Speed-Bone, the company
has also developed an exclusive
treatment that consists of sandblasting surfaces with alumina oxide
through a dedicated appliance as
well as treatment with double etching exploiting mineral acids. The aim
is to achieve a correct and controlled
micro-roughness of the implants
which facilitates the osseointegration and the initial anchor of osteoblasts.
According to the company, all
processes secure homogeneity along
the whole implant surface.
B. & B.’s says its main goal to offer
original dental solutions. Thanks to
its strong commitment to innovation
and long-term experience in developing high quality prosthetic implant technologies and materials for
bone regeneration, they have gained
a leading market position worldwide. 7

Chief Technology Officer Tais Clausen (centre) moderating an hands-on demonstration.

n At IDS, Danish digital specialist
3Shape unveiled its new TRIOS
Color digital impression solution
with RealColor Technology. With the
new tool, the Danish manufacturer
now offers both TRIOS Color and
TRIOS Standard digital impressiontaking solutions.
According to 3Shape, the new
RealColor Technology in the TRIOS
Color digital impression-taking solution facilitates the creation of scan
images in the appearance of real
teeth and gingiva. Moreover, the
realistic display of colours is supposed to make it easy for dentists to
distinguish between the different
types of restorative materials (metals, enamel, composite, etc.), recognise bleeding areas and easily identify margin lines with enhanced
accuracy, the company said.
In combination with 3Shape’s established TRIOS Ultrafast Optical
Sectioning Technology, TRIOS Color
represents a high-performance color-scanning solution that is very

fast, very accurate and very easyto-use, the company said.
In addition, a new configuration
solution and an alternative to the
TRIOS cart was introduced—the new
TRIOS Pod, which enables scanning
with the TRIOS handheld scanner
and software using selected laptop
PCs. The solution offers mobility and
flexibility for dentists working in
multiple locations or for clinics with
limited space, according to 3Shape.
Users will be able to control scanning from an iPad or mirror the 3-D
view on other displays in the clinic,
such as monitors integrated in the
chair. TRIOS Pod works with both
TRIOS Color and TRIOS Standard
solutions.
Additional developments that
apply to both TRIOS Color and
TRIOS Standard digital-impression
solutions were on display at the
company’s booth in hall 4.2. 7

introduce this concept for creating a virtual patient for different clinical needs.
With the launch of the new imaging
mode for scanning impressions and
plaster casts to its Planmeca ProMax 3D
X-ray units, impressions can be automatically inverted to digital casts and instantly stored in the Planmeca Romexis
software in standard STL format.

cally, the intelligent mectron piezoelectric ultrasound technology makes
treatment more comfortable for both
the dentist as well as the patient. It also
boats a special soft mode for extra
gentle treatment power. The integration of a 360° adjustable LEDlight makes working with the
multipiezo touch even easier,
according to the company, as
the source of light can be directed right to the spot of activity, which is a unique
feature in the field
of ultrasonic
devices.

According
to mectron, its innovative design and self-explaining ergonomics are supposed to set new
standards in terms of user-friendliness
and practice hygiene, as in contrast to
common devices, its ergonomic touch
panel lets the user control all functions
fast and intuitive. Operating the device is therefore possible without buttons and control dials. Owing to the
smooth surface, the multipiezo touch
can also be cleaned and disinfected
much easier than other devices.

14th EXHIBITION OF STOMATOLOGY
AND DENTAL TECHNICS

VDW presents the
new GUTTAFUSION
Obturators entirely made of gutta-percha introduced
n VDW’s latest product GUTTAFUSION draws from the advantages associated with the use of
gutta-percha. The carriers for the
thermoplastic obturation of root
canals are now made entirely of
this material. The obturators have
a stable core made of crosslinked
gutta-percha, which remains stable even when heated, and are
coated with gutta-percha that
flows evenly when heated to effectively achieve a dense, 3-dimensional filling. The obturator handle,
specially designed to be used with
tweezers as well as fingers, is supposed to enable the easy application
of obturators in molars. In addition,
no other instrument is required to
separate it. The obturators also have
a high radiopacity, the company
from Munich said.
Good obturation results can be
achieved thanks to the homogenous
gutta-percha filling of the whole
root canal system, including ramifi-

cations, isthmi and the apex. The
gutta-percha core simplifies the
post space preparation procedure and the filling can be easily
removed for retreatment.
According to VDW, GUTTAFUSION is compatible with most
rotary NiTi systems. The suitable obturator size can be determined with a size verifier made
of nickel-titanium. Obturators and
reusable size verifiers are available
in the sizes 20 to 55.
GUTTAFUSION for RECIPROC
obturators are particularly convenient to use. The three obturator sizes correspond with the
instruments R25, R40 and R50.
A size verifier is not required. The
GUTTAFUSION oven can be used for
quickly heating the obturator. 7
