TorqTech Ultra Mini

The TorqTech Ultra Mini is the latest addition to J. Morita Corp.’s contra angle dental handpiece product line. With this newest product offering, clinicians can enjoy the stability and durability they’ve come to trust from the manufacturer, now in a smaller profile. With a comparatively short head height, the Ultra Mini is designed to provide excellent visibility and is ideal for treating patients with limited jaw mobility or children with small oral cavities. Despite its compact size, users will find this 1:5 contra angle to deliver a high cutting capacity with an extended life span, according to J. Morita. The Ultra mini accepts both standard and short shank burs up to 21 mm in length unlike many competitive units. A newly designed water spray offers consistent cooling, even in the most challenging treatment areas with 4 points of chip air. Versatile, this unit is compatible with air and E-type electric motors. Other benefits include a light weight to reduce fatigue, a durable chuck, maximum illumination, and an efficient spray filter. New features are designed to reduce the stress of drilling, especially when removing old fillings or to perform large preparations. The chuck features a strong grip on the bur and is built to last long. The surface of the TorqTech Ultra mini attachment is durable, corrosion-resistant and more resistant to wear and tear. Additionally, the surface of the attachment is said to stay clean longer and has a smooth, comfortable feel.

Presto Smile

A new smile visualization company steps on the scene––Presto Smile uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help clinicians show patients their potential, post-treatment smile, according to a press release from the company. Starting from January 2024, clinicians can seamlessly integrate Presto Smile into their practice by downloading the mobile app on their iOS or Android devices. This user-friendly platform is designed to facilitate chairside conversations, allowing clinicians to efficiently discuss treatment options with patients while visually demonstrating the potential outcomes. The aim is to empower patients to make informed decisions about their dental care by offering a clear and tangible preview of the transformative impact various treatments can have on their smiles. One of the key features of Presto Smile is its ability to generate instant and realistic smile mockups through its AI algorithms. This eliminates the traditional time-consuming process of manually creating mockups, which can save clinicians valuable time that can be redirected toward providing personalized care to patients. The app's interface is said to be intuitive, ensuring that the integration into the existing workflow of dental practices goes smoothly. By harnessing the power of AI, clinicians can now go beyond verbal explanations to offer easy-to-understand visualizations of the potential outcomes of various dental treatments. This not only aids in building trust between clinicians and patients but can also increase the likelihood of patients accepting proposed treatment plans. The app facilitates informed discussions about treatment options, enabling patients to actively participate in decisions about their dental health.

Second Generation CleanFlow™ Procedure Instrument

GentleWave® developer Sonendo has announced the launch of its second generation CleanFlow procedure instrument. This updated release comes with an upgraded design and an enhanced matrix system, marking a significant leap forward in the efficacy and user-friendliness of the GentleWave Procedure, according to a press release from the company. The redesigned matrix is designed to not only streamline the root canal treatment process but also to ensure a secure and enduring seal that is said to guarantee consistency. Altogether, it aims to simplify the experience for both clinicians and patients. The notable improvement in design enables doctors to utilize a single procedure instrument for all teeth, streamlining their workflow and enhancing overall treatment efficiency. August 2023, Sonendo announced a pivotal update, indicating that the CleanFlow Procedure Instrument is now approved for use on anterior teeth which will replace the legacy Anterior Pre-Molar Procedure Instrument. This, coupled with the latest matrix system and optimized design, emphasizes Sonendo’s mission to create quality, refined products that boost innovation. The GentleWave System, recognized as the sole United States Food and Drug Administration-cleared system for root canal procedures, utilizes a sterilized, single-use procedure instrument. This enables the cleaning and disinfection inside of root canal, leading to safer, more effective procedures, per the press release. Because of the structure of the root canal, and all of the microscopic spaces that can house bacteria inside, it is crucial to ensure effective disinfection and cleaning. With the introduction of the second-generation CleanFlow Procedure Instrument, it becomes the sole instrument needed for the GentleWave System to treat all teeth.
