Thenovelnew material is the first all-in-one bioactive and biocompatible dentine substitute, showing Septodont’s continued commitment to pioneering and innovative research and development, not just in the field of anaesthetics, but in every aspect of cutting-edge dentistry. Everyday dentists are facing multiple conditions involving dentine including: • Permanent Dentine Restorations • Pulpotomies • Apexification • Pulp exposure • Perforations • Internal/External Resorptions • Apical surgery Biodentine™ can be used to treat all of these indications. Based on unique Active Biosilicate Technology™, never before has a product so closely mimicked dentine itself. Highly biocompatible, thanks to its Tricalcium Silicate core, Biodentine™ helps preserve pulp vitality by promoting reactionary dentine genesis and has outstanding sealing properties to reduce the risk of clinical failures through bacterial percolation, thus ensuring the absence of post-operative sensitivity. Biodentine™ also needs no surface conditioning or bonding and sets quickly, making it simple and easy to use for the busy clinician and an ideal tool in emergency restorative situations where time is of the essence. Biodentine™ is also compatible with the final composite restoration, making it an important addition to the clinician’s armamentarium.” For more information on Biodentine please contact your dental dealer directly.

This less intrusive and more comfortable solution to impression taking brings dentists closer to clinical perfection by improving the accuracy of dental restorations and the quality of interaction between dentists and their patients. Dentist Ilan Preiss at Bow Lane Dental Group is already feeling the rewards of working with the Lava C.O.S, and claims that since using the scanner not only has his relationship with his patients improved, he has also seen a vast improvement in the fit of his restorations. Doctor Preiss said: “My patients love to see their teeth in 3-D images and they feel part of the process and educated in what is happening to them. The unpleasant part of impression taking has been made more fun and less intrusive for the dentist and patient” If you are a dentist with vision who would like to improve your patients’ experience in the chair and provide superior quality treatment, please visit 3M ESPE at stand L02 at the BDTA showcase in October.
