Orascoptic introduces cordless LED headlight
n After introducing the first LED
light system to the dental market in
2005, Orascoptic, a pioneer in lighting technology, is once again bringing innovation to the marketplace
by providing the Freedom “cordless”
LED headlight.
Responding to practitioner concerns that current LED cables are
both cumbersome and unreliable,
Orascoptic has developed the industry’s first light system that does
not employ belt-packs, long electrical
cables or buttons. The benefits of the
new Freedom system include:
• No more cumbersome cords: Lightweight battery pods connect to the
temple arms of the loupe, provid-

ing power that way rather than
with heavy belt-packs employed
by traditional LED systems. By
moving power to the loupe itself,
the Freedom system eliminates the
issue with long, dangling electrical cords that are prone to getting
caught on chairs, doorknobs and

cabinets in the dental office.
• User friendly: Innovative capacitive touch technology eliminates
the need for any buttons, knobs or
switches but, more importantly,
allows the practitioner to control
the light while holding instruments in both hands.
• Easy to clean and maintain: Capacitive touch also eliminates bacteria
traps associated with traditional
light-system controls, making the
Freedom easy to sanitize and maintain.
• Comfortable to wear: Unique
weight-neutralizing counter-balance between the battery pods and
the headlight relieves pressure on
the nose caused by the light and
telescopes.
• Powerful visualization: The loupes
provide variable illumination up to
4,000 foot candles.
• Compatibility with more than 99
percent of TTL loupes: A robust
yet innovatively simple universal
mounting clip securely fastens the
lightweight headlight to virtually
any TTL loupe on the market.
By eliminating belt-packs, cables
and buttons, this latest innovation
from Orascoptic has established
a new standard for LED headlight
design as the company continues to
strive to provide the dental community with better visualization.

As easy as one, two, three
Shofu’s BeautiBond
seventh-generation
bonding agent is simple
to use and offers quality
results
By Fred Michmershuizen,
Dental Tribune
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 they were 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 Dental Tribune.
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
the fact 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 minimally
invasive restorations.
And 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 due to BeautiBond’s
HEMA-free composition, resulting
in virtually no gingival blanching,
which is normally caused by the
combination of HEMA and the acid
monomer.
With excellent biocompatibility
and bonding durability, BeautiBond
is an all-in-one adhesive that enables
etching, priming and bonding in one

simple step for a wide range of applications.
BeautiBond can be used with 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.
A practitioner who is always look-

ing 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.”

Atraumatic extractions with Luxator
By Dr. Simon Jones
n The extraction of a tooth is probably the most traumatic event a
patient can experience in the dental
office, and if the extraction doesn’t
go smoothly, things can become quite
stressful for the dentist as well.
When the use of a simple surgical
instrument can make the extraction process infinitely easier for both
patient and dentist, I find it surprising that not all dentists reach for a
Directa Dental Luxator as their first
instrument of choice.
To understand how best to remove
a tooth, it helps to appreciate the
structures and forces that are holding
the tooth in position. It is only by overcoming these forces that the tooth can
be removed.
First, consider the bone structure
surrounding the roots. As the bone
sits intimately against the root surface, any irregularities, undercuts or
curvatures of the root will provide
mechanical retention. To overcome
this retention, the socket must be
dilated until the path of removal of
the root is unimpeded by bone.
The second factor resisting the
removal of the tooth is the periodontal ligament, composed of collagen
fibers. Like millions of little ropes, the
cumulative strength of these fibers
resists the strongest of biting forces.
Imagine how much force would be
required to overcome this combined
strength in an attempt to simply pull
out a tooth.
The third force to overcome is
that of atmospheric pressure. Withdrawing a tooth from its socket will
create a void or vacuum at the apex
of the socket, and until this void is
filled with blood or an ingress of air,
then atmospheric pressure will effectively push on the tooth to keep it in
position. Anyone who can remember
back to the Magdeburg Hemisphere
experiment in school physics will
know that simple atmospheric pressure resisted the force of two teams of
horses pulling in opposite directions.
Little wonder then that simply
using a combination of forceps and

brute force can lead to unnecessary
loss of alveolar bone, root fracture
and a subsequently more stressful
experience for both patient and dentist. Dealing with the fracture of a
maxillary tuberosity can certainly
ruin your day!
The careful and considered use of
a Luxator helps the dentist to divide
and conquer the forces retaining a
tooth, making the extraction process
an infinitely more predictable and
stress-free process.
The appropriate size of Luxator
is chosen to match the diameter of
the root, and the angle of the blade
is chosen to give the best access. The
tip of the Luxator is gently inserted
into the gingival margin, with the
blade angled slightly toward the root
surface. This ensures that the Luxa-

Once in the periodontal ligament,
the Luxator is worked down the
length of the root with a side-toside rocking motion and steady axial
pressure (Fig. 2). This motion first
severs the periodontal fibers, and
then as the blade is introduced further, the socket is dilated to allow an
easier path of removal. Finally, as the
periodontal ligament is severed and
the socket dilated, bleeding and air
ingress overcome the vacuum that
resists tooth removal.
The Luxator should be inserted
around as much of the circumference of the root as possible to evenly
dilate the socket. Once this has been
achieved, the final delivery of the
tooth may be performed with forceps,
although this is often not required
with single-rooted teeth.
When using a Luxator, the handle should sit neatly in the palm of
your hand, cradled by your fingers
and thumb, with the index finger
Fusio Liquid Dentin
Fusio™ Liquid Dentin, the first flowable composite to bond to both dentin and enamel without a
bonding agent, is now indicated for restoring Class
V carious lesions. Formulated with 4-MET technology and a new proprietary BPA-free resin, Fusio
Liquid Dentin etches, primes, bonds and restores
using only one product. By effectively fusing
together self-adhesive and restorative technology,
clinicians can now restore teeth faster than ever,
saving both time and money.
Fusio Liquid Dentin’s ability to tenaciously bond
to both dentin and enamel without a separate adhesive opens up new possibilities for this segment of
restorative materials.
“While it shares many of the same indications as

a traditional flowable composite, its use as a dentin
replacement material or a self-adhesive base liner
shatters previous perceptions of where and how
flowable composites can be used,” said Jeremy
Grondzik, Pentron Clinical product manager.
This new generation of flowable composite is
priced similar to traditional premium flowable
Dr. Simon Jones is
a leading U.K. dentist with a practice
in Middlesbrough,
in the northeast of
England. He qualified in 1985 and
has worked mainly in the British
National Health Service since
then. For the past six years,
he also served as a vocational
trainer for the Northern Deanery
of Newcastle University Dental
School.
extended toward the tip of the instrument (Fig. 3). This allows for precise
control of the tip and prevents the risk
of slipping. Excessive force should
be avoided; the Luxator is a surgical
instrument and should be used as
such, not as an elevator.
To complement its range of Luxators, Directa now produces an elevator called the Luxator Forte. Having
dilated the socket using a Luxator,
if it is felt that greater dilating and
elevation forces are required, then
the stronger Luxator Forte should be
used. The Luxator Forte is recognizable by its black handle (Fig. 4). This
sequence of luxation, followed by
elevation, generally means forceps
are only ever used for the final easy
delivery of the tooth.
Having used Luxators for more
than 20 years, I cannot imagine
undertaking the extraction of any
tooth without first severing the periodontal fibers with my trusty friend.
It would be the equivalent of struggling to remove my boots without first
undoing the laces.

Three walking tours in
the heart of Vancouver

soon come across the seawall. Originally, Stanley Park’s Seawall ended
at the Burrard Bridge, but now it
continues through Yaletown to Main
Street/Science World.
Turning right at the end of Davie
takes you for a walk along the water
to Science World — or the “Golf Ball”
as locals call it — and, past that, all the
way to Granville Island, if you desire
a long walk.
n Vancouver is a great city to explore.
For attendees who might want to get
outside and do a little walking, there
are plenty of options. Here are three.
False Creek
In 1859, a British surveyor discovered
that a centuries-old fishing settlement he was interested in did not
connect to Vancouver’s inner harbor.
He was so disappointed with his
discovery he dismissed the area as a
“false creek.” Today, that area is lined
with restaurants and waterfront condominiums on the downtown/Yaletown side and the markets, marinas
and shops of Granville Island on the
other.
Begin at the Main Street SkyTrain
station to take a look at the area’s
last remaining industrial waterfront
along First Avenue. Pass beneath
the Cambie Street Bridge and into
another world of parkland, seawall
footpaths, marinas and enclaves of
charming houses and apartments.
Take a short walk to Granville

Island and its famous public market,
or hop a ferry across the creek to
explore the other side of False Creek,
known as Yaletown.
Yaletown
Yaletown was previously known as
a warehouse district without much
to draw people in, other than business. But during the dot-com boom
of the late ’90s, Yaletown began to be
transformed into the hub of emerging

Stanley Park is truly a walker’s
paradise right in the heart of the city.
It’s one of the largest urban parks in
North America, with 1,000 acres of
woodlands, gardens, flowers, trails,
lakes, beaches and wildlife.
Circumnavigate the park via the
seawall (a brisk, two-hour walk) or
take the road less traveled around
Lost Lagoon or Beaver Lake to view
the resident geese, swans and raccoons. Stanley Park is home to the
Vancouver Aquarium as well as a
children’s farmyard, tennis courts,
pitch and putt golf course.
