C Notes

Centric Notes

C Notes simplifies the writing of clinical notes by streamlining the time it takes to compose them; comprehensive treatment notes are created simply by pressing buttons and following prompts. Using the touchpad benefits of an iPad and “decision making routes,” dentists can write specific notes about what occurred with each of their patients. The software covers 11 dental departments, so complete notes can be written for many treatments.

Wish you had a template for every situation? C Notes, described as “templates on steroids,” solves the problem of producing notes quickly without the need for manual editing of templates. For active practices where both staff and doctor write notes, C Notes levels the playing field so all notes are written with the same detail; all users have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their notes are well written. Soon the application will integrate with Dentrix practice management software systems, for even more streamlined office communication.

LUM Subenamel Illumination

Digital Doc

The LUM’s subenamel illumination diagnostic methods extend the detection capabilities of Digital Doc’s IRIS intraoral camera. Compact and easy to use, the LUM provides instant documentation as well as detection of all findings.

Its specialized LED technology applies a high-intensity light source to the tooth, positioned so the light travels perpendicular to the plane of the tooth. In a tooth without impurities, the light will travel uninterrupted from the buccal surface to the lingual, which can be observed on the occlusal table of the tooth by its uniform illumination. When a tooth has impurities such as fractures or leaking amalgam, the light is dispersed, showing up clearly in images that are near X-rays in quality.

“Adding the LUM to our intraoral cameras was as good of an addition as the intraoral camera itself. I’ve never seen cracks and the shadow of decay so clearly or vividly. So many areas of ‘innocent stain’ are confirmed to be decay with the LUM technology, helping me avoid that ‘watch it’ conversation time after time. With the LUM, I can now be confident when I say it is decay … or it simply isn’t.”

Meridian PM Oral Appliance

The Center for Craniofacial & Dental Sleep Medicine

Recently cleared by the FDA to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring, the Meridian PM oral appliance represents the next generation in oral appliance therapy. By holding the lower jaw in a more comfortable position, it eliminates the potential jaw pain and changes in a patient’s bite that’s often experienced with traditional oral appliance therapy.

The Meridian PM appliance treats snoring, OSA and associated breathing symptoms by stabilizing the lower jaw and training the tongue to stay forward, maintaining a clear upper airway during sleep. The natural result is a decrease in the frequency and duration of apneic and hypopnea events, including snoring. The appliance also supports oxygen exchange during sleep.

Dr. Ron Perry noted that half of the time and cost of taking an impression is due to retraction/hemostasis. Addressing this concern, NoCord VPS, offered in 50- and 380-milliliter cartridges, is the first and only one-step self-retracting impressioning system that removes the time, frustration and costs of traditional cord retraction.

NoCord Wash incorporates a hemostatic agent to control bleeding and fluid flows. NoCord MegaBody Tray Material drives the wash to gently retract gingiva from the tooth. Together, they work as a complete system to provide an optimal impression result without separate retraction and hemostasis procedures. Because they are VPS materials, they deliver the accuracy and dimensional stability dentists expect from vinyl polysiloxane impression materials.

NLZ Electric Micromotor Systems

NSK

NLZ Electric Micromotor Systems feature new technology, faster performance, compact design and a new proprietary contra-angle check function. The NLZ has the highest torque in its class (4.2 Ncm), with the smallest dimension. The NLZ-E, the endodontic version, has both a reciprocating and rotary function, making it compatible with Dentsply Sirona’s WaveOne files.

With its new technology, the NLZ is more powerful yet lighter and with less heat generation than NSK’s existing models. The conventional magnet rotor has been replaced with an improved magnet rotor to offer more powerful rotation, and the water and air lines are now integrated with the motor to make maximum use of space.

The Contra-Check Function helps detect abnormalities caused by deterioration of the electric attachment and insufficient maintenance. To use it, connect the electric attachment to the motor, press the Check key and view the results on the Control Unit. If “Oil” or “NG” is displayed, the motor will automatically slow down and stop.

PainFree Gel Dentin Desensitizer

Parkell

With just one 30-second treatment with PainFree Gel Dentin Desensitizer, even the most sensitive patients get immediate relief from painful cold stimuli. With a thick gel consistency that won’t run off the tooth, it provides more precise, pinpoint placement of medication, providing desensitizing results exactly where dentists need them.

PainFree Gel doesn’t require acid-etching the dentin or anesthetizing patients, which can lower their pain threshold and make the pain worse. It seals the tooth’s open dentinal tubules with its tripolymer formulation, penetrating deep down the side walls and grafting the molecules tightly to the calcium in the hydroxyapatite. This network of polymer chains creates a durable barrier to the movement of fluid, a known cause of tooth hypersensitivity.

Phasor Composite Warming System

Vista Dental Products

The patent-pending, first-of-its-kind Phasor Composite Warming System uses NIR technology to rapidly warm highly filled composite compules. With the touch of a button, the system is able to heat composite material to 150 degrees F in seconds and maintain that temperature throughout the procedure while remaining cool to the touch. This technique provides the benefits of bulk fill, highly filled and flowable composite in one.

Unlike other devices, the Phasor system is not limited to a single brand of composite. This makes it versatile not only in quick posterior bulk fills but also with traditional incremental layering techniques in aesthetic regions.

Warming composite significantly lowers the viscosity of the material, resulting in better adaptation, reduced voids and microleakage, and improved depth of cure. Materials remain highly sculptable, nonsticky and easily shaped during manipulation.
