Nano Series Handpieces
The new NSK Nano series of handpieces offers a 1:5 increasing electric attachment and 1:1 direct drive. They are more than 10% smaller than conventional angles and are delicate and precise while in use. The smaller, slimmer and lighter nature of the handpiece makes it well-suited for female clinicians. The handpiece feels more balanced, reducing arm and shoulder fatigue during procedures. They have a durable titanium body with ceramic bearings. In addition, diamond-like carbon is applied to the gears for optimal durability.

The Nano 95LS and 25LS deliver on the high-performance standards of NSK contra-angles, and when used in conjunction with the NLZ micro motor system, give optimal maneuverability for an air turbine, ensuring more accurate treatments.

HD Black Line Mirrors
Hu-Friedy’s HD Black Line Mirrors feature a diamondlike carbon coating on the handle and mirror frame that reduces glare by up to 80% for increased visibility. The black color of the finish provides enhanced contrast and visual acuity within the oral cavity, creating a distinct contrast between the instrument and the tooth or surrounding tissue, allowing for easy intraoral identification.

The coating and the color of the HD Mirror glass facilitate quicker, more accurate visibility of the mouth, with a 113% reflection factor for exceptional image clarity. Front surface reflection provides a sharp, distortion-free image. The durable black matte finish helps to reduce strain and fatigue by reducing the need for clinicians to adapt their viewing position because of unwanted shine produced by a traditional metal mirror. Combined with a large diameter handle that increases user control, HD Black Line Mirrors are an ergonomically friendly option that provides maximum comfort in addition to reducing hand fatigue.

Take 1 Hydro Impression Material
KaVo Kerr’s new VPS impression material, Take 1 Hydro, features one of the industry’s lowest contact angles at ≤10° on uncured material. The material allows clinicians to push impression materials deeper into the sulcus to capture better margins and minute details, free of voids and distortions. This first-take accuracy reduces the need for time-consuming and costly redos, as well as patient frustration.

Take 1 Hydro offers highly durable and elastic material that provides excellent dimensional stability. This minimizes shrinkage during handling and shipping, resulting in final crowns that better match the patient’s preparation. The material also uses an advanced surfactant formula that breaks down moisture barriers between the preparation area and impression material. This excellent surface activation supports crowns that fit better and require fewer adjustments, preventing wasted time, schedule backups, and delays.

Bluewave Soft-Tissue Diode Laser
Clinician’s Choice’s Bluewave soft-tissue diode laser is a desktop laser that features enhanced ergonomics and a high-contrast blue-aiming beam that provides greater visibility at the surgical site.

The Bluewave laser outperforms over a wide range of dental indications, from gingival contouring and tissue retraction for impression taking to laser-assisted periodontal therapy, with greater patient comfort and faster healing times, often with minimal need for anesthetic.

The 810nm diode laser is engineered to make laser therapy convenient and expedient. Featuring a long-lasting lithium-ion battery, lightweight design and wireless foot pedal, the Bluewave is truly portable and allows clinicians to move between operatories with ease. Three intuitive, easy-to-use settings simplify treatment protocols, with an additional custom setting for individual user preferences.
