3D UPGRADABLE OPG
DB Dental Equipment

DB Dental is pleased to introduce their latest in digital imaging technology. The Xera-smart is compact, upgradable to 3D and available with Ceph. Conventionally, scanners convert X-rays to visible light by a scintillator, the CCD transforms light into electronic signals that diffuse and consequently result in ‘blurred’ images. The direct CMOS sensor directly converts X-rays to electronic signals which eliminates diffusion and delivers high-definition clinical image quality for accurate diagnosis. This technology enables high image quality and by minimising exposure time reduces the patient dosage by 50% (compared to other YOSHIDA equipment).

This user-friendly, state-of-the-art digital imaging system is equipped with the latest software that captures over 4,000 images in one exposure, allows the dentist to correct poor patient positioning and enhance the quality and focus of images.

CROWNS AND BRIDGES
Knight Dental Design

Knight Dental Design’s latest generation of all-ceramic crowns and bridges puts an end to unattractive and obviously false dental restorations. The UK dental laboratory has invested in the KaVo Everest CAD/CAM system, enabling it to produce high strength KaVo Zirconia and Ivoclar e.max restorations to an accuracy of 25 microns. From single inlays to full-arch bridges, Knight Dental Design’s attention to detail delivers lifelike aesthetics and functional durability. Dr Jeff Amos from The Clinic, Brighton, said, ‘Having worked with Tony Knight and his dental lab over the last seven years, I can honestly say that his work is second to none. During 30 years of practice, I have not encountered an equivalent level of professionalism, helpfulness and, most importantly, attention to detail.’

MPA
Optident

MPa is a total-etch system designed utilising scientifically-advanced and clinically-proven chemistry to provide the dentist with an easy-to-use system that addresses the key factors for successful bonding: etching capability; prevention of post-operative sensitivity; ease of use for consistent application; high bond strength to dentin and enamel; and prevention of microleakage. Unlike previous 4th and 5th generation systems that require three, four, or even five coats of primer (a primary reason why dentists experience low bond values or sensitivity) and a second resin, 7.5% nano-filled MPa requires only a single bottle, single coat application. With MPa's natural resins and slightly higher film thickness, one coat will address virtually all bonding situations - easily sealing the dentin tubules for a sensitivity-free, totally sealed restoration. To eliminate post-operative sensitivity, the MPa system incorporates G5 All-Purpose Desensitiser, a glutaraldehyde-based desensitiser, used after acid etching.
