DISCUS DENTAL BRINGS A NEW SEALANT TO THE MARKET
New Hero Pit & Fissure Sealant Features Innovative Embrace™ Technology

Culver City, CA, August 4, 2010 – Today, Discus Dental announces the release of Hero™, a new pit and fissure sealant featuring Embrace™ technology, which allows it to bond to slightly moist teeth. Hero features evidence-based technology backed by over 6 years of research for retention and carries prevention. Hero will help hygienists and pediatric dentists deliver improved carries prevention care to their patients. Hero also provides a source for fluoride and re-mineralizes the teeth.

“Discus is excited to add an innovative sealant to its growing list of oral hygiene product offerings, “said Robert Cartagena, Chief Operating Officer of Discus. “Helping clinicians prevent caries and periodontal disease is our ultimate goal, and Hero is a step along that path.”

Hero’s unique chemistry provides exceptional bond strength without the extra time and money required for a separate bonding step. It creates a margin-free seal around pits and fissures and integrates with the tooth, creating a tough barrier against microleakage. Ideal for pediatrics, Hero’s hydrophilic formula boasts low technique sensitivity and a fluoride releasing formulation helping to achieve the same long-term protective results for each patient. Additionally, Hero is Bisphenol A free.

Hero is available as a 2-syringe package (1.2 ml each) with 25 .22 gauge tips and a syringe (3ml) of Discus’ Matrixx Etchant with 25 .20 gauge tips. For more information or to purchase Hero, please visit Discus’ website at www.discusdental.com or contact customer service at (800) 422-9448.
