Quality Endodontic Distributors Ltd QED Individually packed sterile endodontic instruments It has been scientifically proven that it is impossible to adequately clean and sterilise Endodontic Instruments after use. The time wasted and risk of stick injuries makes even attempting this folly. Consequently Quality Endodontic Distributors Ltd have introduced triniti® Nickel Titanium Instruments and SteriFiles®. Both are supplied sterile and individually blister packed. triniti® Nickel Titanium Instruments were developed to meet the demands of GDPs who want the benefits of Rotary Instrumentation, within NHS constraints. They have an innovative cross section which allows more free space for debris removal. Whilst retaining its core strength, it also allows excellent flexibility and maintains a perfect cutting edge. The non-cutting tip reduces the risk of perforations. SteriFiles® are designed for conventional endodontic instrumentation. Supplied in K and H Type presentations they are manufactured from high- grade stainless steel, which maximises both flexibility and strength. The K Type file features an enhanced non-cutting tip, it is the first choice for preparing curved and narrow canals.

DENTSPLY launches new SDR™ at BDA Conference Delegates visiting DENTSPLY’s stand at this year’s BDA Conference in Liverpool were treated to a very special product launch, SDR – the smart dentine replacement that simplifies posterior direct restorations, saving time. Dr. Louis Mckenzie presented a popular seminar titled ‘A practical guide to posterior direct restorations’ which included SDR, and dentists from all disciplines were eager to see how the newly patented posterior bulk-fill flowable composite could improve the treatments they provide. SDR™ has a flowable viscosity that enables a simple and efficient filling technique unlike any other, excellent for all class I and II restorations. Conventional procedures require complex and time-consuming layering, but SDR makes the entire process up to 40% quicker as it does not require layering or a liner. Compatible with most other composites and adhesives, SDR™ minimises shrinkage stress by 60%, significantly reducing the incidence of microleakage, sensitivity and decay. SDR perfectly complements other products in DENTSPLY’s comprehensive range of restorative materials and equipment to simplify posterior direct restorations.
