Sirona presents the DAC UNIVERSAL combination autoclave at the national decontamination conference The combination autoclave DAC UNIVERSAL manufactured by Sirona is the only device which cleans, lubricates and sterilises dental instruments in a fully automatic process. This became evident at the“4th National Conference on decontamination of dental instruments” of the prestigious University of Glasgow Dental School.Sirona,oneoftheleadingmanufacturers of dental hygiene systems, supporting the event as a sponsor, presented the DAC UNIVERSAL in the exhibitors’ area and was given a very positive reception from the experts. The DAC UNIVERSAL combination autoclave fully complies with the Best Practice Requirements of HTM 01-05. It simultaneously cleans and sterilises up to six handpieces in one cycle after which the instruments are ready for use within 15 minutes. Alternatively, the instruments can be wrapped after sterilisation and are then available for immediate use for up to 21 days. The DAC UNIVERSAL is one of the few devices that can be validated.

A manufacturer’s certification is available to demonstrate to the authorities that this method complies with the HTM 01-05.

Lord Sugar’s approach to Dental Practice sales practices4dentists have been created following the strategic merger of the Dental Practice Consultancy Service and the leading independent dental financial advisory group, money4dentists. Mike Hughes of DPCS commented: “We are delighted to form this strategic alliance at this time as it enables us to combine our established expertise in the field of dental practice valuations and sales, with the huge gap in the market for the need for competitively priced sales agency fees”. Richard T Lishman, Principal and cofounder of money4dentists commented: “The common theme for dentists looking to buy and sell dental practices is price and service, and as many sales agencies charge in excess of 2%*, there is a need for this kind of service. “Alan Sugar shook the computer sales market up by reducing the price of a PC by half, and this is what we are looking to do with a fee of 1%*. For more information of their independent practice sales and acquisition services please contact practices4dentists on 0845 345 5060, email info@practices4dentists.co.uk or have a look at their website www. practices4dentists.co.uk *additional fees such as valuation and marketing costs may be chargeable. “It is so nice to have one company look after everything.” The Endoclinic is a referral-only practice based in Cockfosters, setup in 2009 by Maria Lessani BDS, MFDS RCPS, MClinDent (Endo.)

Once we realised they also provided surgery design and fitting, we were overjoyed. “During the refurbishment, Clark Dental liaised really well with our architects, contractors and IT suppliers, making sure that services and computers were correctly placed. We knew we could rely on Clark to manage the project whilst we were working in other locations. “Much of our equipment and fittings, including our cabinetry, dental chair, and digital imaging tools were supplied by Clark Dental, as was our sterilising room cabinetry and decontamination apparatus. It’s so nice to have one company look after everything. “Thanks to Clark Dental’s expert knowledge and advice, our vision for the practice has been realised.
