Welcome to Product Bites, a weekly podcast from Dental Products Report, providing you with a rundown of recently launched and updated dental technologies, materials, instruments and everything else you might use with patients or while running your practice.

I'm your host for this week DPR editorial director Noah Levine and on this week's podcast, we've got a quintet of new products, as we'll be covering the latest from 3Sixty, RolandDGA, Myerson, Convergent Dental, and Clinux. So no time like now, let's find out more about these products.

First up 3Sixty recently expanded their product line with an aim of helping enhance dental practice workflows. The new products include 3Sixty Crystals Aligners, 3Sixty Crowns, scalloped guides, and other guide variants. According to a company press release, these new offerings were strategically curated to elevate efficiency and empower dentists to help foster clinical versatility and patient centric approaches.

Next up Chairside Zirconia from Roland DGA. Compatible with the DGSHAPE DWX-42W series of wet mills, this new material is designed for streamlined, chairside workflows. It features an exclusive 3-layer gradient design, made up of 25% incisal 25% transition and 50% dentin translucency. This allows the material to better mimic natural tooth material. Chairside Zirconia does not require sintering after milling but still provides an average flexural strength of 500 MPa. The material aims to make a simple prep, scan, design, mill, and seat workflow possible for same day dentistry.

Meyerson Dental's new Trusana Premium Denture System is a complete solution for high quality 3D-printed dentures. Powered by the patented Trusana formulation, this digital denture solution offers high flexural strength, wear resistance, and still provides lifelike esthetics. A 1-step bonding process saves time during production and multiple shades are available for both Premium 3D Tooth Resin and Premium 3D Denture Base Resin. The Trusana Premium Denture System is available exclusively through Zhan Dental.

Next up, Convergent Dental recently announced the availability of Solea Protect, a new application for the Solea all-tissue dental laser. This application, developed after decades of research, aims to reduce mineral loss in dental enamel, providing protection against acid attacks and caries. Solea's 9.3 micron wavelength CO2 laser gently heats the surface of tooth enamel. This removes impurities and creates a strong crystallike structure that is more resistant to decay than untreated enamel.

Finally, Clinux CAD is a cloud-based CAD software application that now allows clinicians to mix and match different design methods on a tooth by tooth basis. Other newly expanded design capabilities include inlay and onlay indications and a margin function tool. With a range of flexible license options, the platform is designed to make digital dentistry easily accessible to anyone.
