Adravision Perio

Dental artificial intelligence (AI) company Adravision has announced the receipt of 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the commercialization of its Adravision Perio product within dental practices. This FDA clearance guarantees dental practitioners and patients the reliability and compliance of Adravision's technology with regulatory standards. Adravision’s Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) employs real-time AI to aid dentists and hygienists in assessing mesial and distal bone levels in bitewing and periapical radiographs. Periodontitis, if untreated, can lead to tooth loss, impaired chewing, and has associations with heart disease and arthritis, among other health concerns. Adravision Perio not only is designed to enhance patient comprehension of oral issues, leading to increased treatment acceptance rates, but it also streamlines the claims process for insurers, reducing fraud. It represents an innovative platform that merges the expertise of scientists, dental practitioners, and AI professionals to improve the interpretation of dental radiographs. The platform's robust Software as a Service (SaaS) tools empower clinicians to streamline their workflow, reduce time spent on interpretations and charting, and ultimately deliver optimal patient care.

Resin Pumping System

Designed to expand the printing capabilities for Formlabs 3 series printers, Resin Pumping System allows the system to operate without changing resins for 5 times as long. The plug-and-play system replaces the standard 1-liter resin cartridges with a 5-liter supply. Compatible with Form 3 and Form 3L printers, Resin Pumping System seamlessly delivers the material directly to the printer's resin tank. The expanded resin capacity is said to help dental labs reduce their cost-per-part, and the move to a larger resin supply also provides an 86% reduction in packaging waste.

Carriere® Motion Pro™ Bite Corrector

Henry Schein Orthodontics (HSO) has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of the Carriere® Motion Pro™ bite corrector, designed to treat the anteroposterior dimension of a patient’s occlusion. The newest addition to the Motion portfolio is fitted to teeth to treat the anteroposterior dimension of a patient’s occlusion, allowing clinicians to achieve a Class I platform within an average of 3 to 6 monthsof treatment, and before placing brackets or aligners, according to HSO.

Boasting the unique ability to treat both Class II and Class III patients with 1 device, the bite corrector features a custom-designed drop-in hook to enhance treatment versatility. The wider reinforced cuspid pad hook ensures a consistent distribution of elastic forces, while the hook’s deep undercut simplifies elastic engagements and effectively secures the Force Oral Elastics, a portfolio of products designed to work seamlessly with Motion appliances to provide optimal results. The latest addition to the company’s portfolio, the Force 3 Elastics, will be available soon, HSO states. The new Carriere Motion Pro™ bite corrector also features a built-in scribe line, flat faces, straight edges, and a recessed dimple, which helps to provide intuitive and accurate placement. This design provides fast and predictable treatment, and the condyle shaped joint is designed to facilitate more natural and controlled movement. Like the Carriere Motion Pro, the original Motion appliances were created by orthodontist Dr Luis Carrière, who also popularized the SAGITTAL FIRST™ philosophy, an approach to care designed to help standardize, simplify, and shorten Class II and Class III treatment time by treating the AP dimension at the beginning of treatment.
