Biodentine™: The Ultimate Dentine Substitute The world of dentistry is about to be changed forever following the launch of a breakthrough new product by Septodont that is literally‘dentine in a capsule’. Launched in the UK in September 2010, Biodentine™ is a revolutionary new product that can be used wherever dentine has been lost or damaged. The novel new 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 BiosilicateTechnology™, 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.

In comparison to other leading brand names FLEXI has proven to be a firm favourite with patients when used as part of their everyday oral health regime. Made from high strength wire, FLEXI is more durable than many conventional brushes. The bristles themselves are made from the highest quality filaments which vibrate effectively against the teeth, resulting in better interdental cleaning. With regular use, the durable FLEXI brush will provide easy access and efficient cleaning of hard to reach areas. Patients will also notice a significant improvement in the health of their teeth and gums. Furthermore, because FLEXI is so easy to use, patients will want to maintain the oral health program suggested and, more importantly, stick to it. Gaining compliance is the key for every dental professional, but without a purpose-designed, quality brush the patient will not be able to realise the results of their hard work. For further information about FLEXI, please contact the company at uk@tandex.dk to ask for your free samples of interdental cleaning products or by visiting www.tandex.dk Paradigm Design With compliance with the requirements of HTM01-05 only a few months away, a visit to Paradigm’s stand is essential for every practice seeking to achieve optimal efficiency and workflow.

SMARTSEAL’S RADIO-OPAQUE SMARTPOINTS TO BE SHOWCASED AT UK’S PREMIER DENTAL EXHIBITION Smartseal, the creator of innovative endodontic systems, is set to showcase its newest family member - radio-opaque smartpoints - to thousands of dental professionals at the BDTA Dental Showcase in London in October. More than 12,000 members of the dental team are expected to attend the three-day event at ExCeL in London Docklands between October 14 and 16, where propoint, smartseal ‘s newly released, fully radio-opaque hydrophilic polymer, is likely to be met with great excitement. The dedicated team at smartseal has worked tirelessly to create propoint following feedback from practitioners who said they found smartpoints easier and quicker to use but requested the point be more radio-opaque. Jerry Watson, Chief Executive of smartseal, said:“Since its launch to thousands of clinicians at the BDA’s British Dental Conference and Exhibition in May we have been inundated with enquiries from leading dental professionals eager to put propoint to the test.” Propoint matches s5, ProTaper and constant taper .04 and .06 file systems. The smartseal family also includes biocompatible root canal sealer, smartpaste bio, smartpaste and smartpointPT, all of which are instantly recognisable due to their trademark packaging.
