Crestal Approach Sinus KIT

Crestal Approach Sinus KIT

HIOSSEN Inc

Hiossen’s Crestal Approach Sinus KIT (CAS-KIT) is specifi cally designed to easily and safely lift the membrane in the maxillary sinus from a crestal approach.

The chief component of HIOSSEN’s CASKIT is the CAS-Drill, which features a unique design to enhance the convenience and safety of maxillary sinus surgery. The atraumatic design of the drill tip allows the user to perform sinus surgery even if the sinus floor is flat, incline, or septum. It offers precise cutting, with a fl exible cutting speed, and the CASDrill tip forms a conical bone chip when drilling, which assists with safely lifting the membrane. The drill is designed with 4 blades that reduce defl ecting off of the bone, and the straight sides dampen vibrations. In addition, bone particles generated while drilling discharge upwards, producing a “Membrane Auto-Lift function,” according to HIOSSEN.

MyPerioPath

MyPerioPath Salivary Diagnostic Test

OralDNA Labs

MyPerioPath provides DNA-PCR assessment of periodontal disease bacteria via simple salivary testing.

OralDNA Labs’ MyPerioPath is a simple, chairside salivary test that detects the presence and quantity of specific bacteria associated with periodontal disease. Based on DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, the molecular test enables early and accurate1 diagnosis and provides the information needed to design treatment plans tailored specifically to each patient, thus ensuring more predictable outcomes.

NV MicroLaser

Portable Diode Laser

Dentistry’s first microlaser, the pocket-size, wireless NV MicroLaser is completely portable yet just as powerful as conventional soft-tissue lasers.

The NV Microlaser from Discus Dental puts diode laser technology in your hand with a convenient, cordless device.  The first of its kind, it is one of the smallest, lightest lasers on the market. NV is activated by a wireless foot pedal, providing better flexibility and mobility than hand-activated lasers, while allowing unobstructed access and visibility with posterior procedures without finger fatigue or loss of dexterity.

Gendex GXCB-500

Cone Beam 3D Imaging System

The GXCB-500 optimizes 3D imaging with medium field of view coupled with extended-view capabilities.

Recently introduced by Gendex Dental Systems, the GXCB-500 cone beam 3D imaging system combines medium field of view technology with extended-view capabilities, producing enhanced diagnostic information for precise treatment planning with “unparalleled scan and amazingly fast reconstruction times.”

KODAK 9000 3D

3D Extraoral Imaging System

KODAK 9000 3D’s 2-in-1 technology combines focused-field 3D with panoramic intraoral imaging.

The KODAK 9000 3D System from Practice Works combines “the power of focused-field 3D with cutting-edge panoramic imaging” for enhanced diagnostic capabilities.

PaX Trio

The PaX Trio combines computed tomography, digital panoramic, and cephalometric features into one system.

In April 2007, Vatech announced that they had received permission from the US Food and Drug Administration to sell PaX Trio in the United States. This cone beam computed tomography (CT) system includes digital panoramic and cephalometric features and is designed for private dental clinics, allowing them to provide reliable implant surgery.

Tempit

Centrix Tempit

Unit-Dose Provisional Material

Tempit’s unit-dose delivery system eliminates mixing while facilitating placement and maximizing asepsis.

Centrix’ Tempit is a moisture-activated temporary filling and sealing material developed specifically for sealing the access cavity between root canal treatments. Single-dose syringe tips eliminate the need for mixing while facilitating placement; the material is simply injected directly into the prep. Unit dosing also maximizes asepsis.

Picasso

AMD LASERS Picasso

Soft-Tissue Diode Laser

The Picasso diode laser provides optimum power, precision, and portability for a broad range of soft-tissue procedures.

AMD LASERS recently launched the Picasso soft-tissue diode laser that combines ease of use with compact yet powerful design, delivering comprehensive results for virtually any diode procedure.
