Product Bites Script - June 21, 2024

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 Editor Kellie Nock, and on this week’s podcast we’ve got 7 new products with launches from Aseptico, 3Shape, SilverPlug USA, Clinician’s Choice, Maeva Dental Advisors, and Y-Brush.

So let’s get to it and learn about these newly launched dental products.

First up, let's talk about the latest from Aseptico – the GO Ultra Portable Dental System. This new system features a fully integrated piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler, making it perfect for on-the-go settings such as nursing homes and in-home care. Weighing just 32 pounds, it's designed for easy transport, even meeting air travel specifications. The GO Ultra Portable comes with a brushless motor and fiber-optic illumination for precision work, and its advanced pathogen filtration system ensures safety and hygiene. The vacuum system activates only when needed, minimizing noise. Additionally, it operates on both universal AC power and external 24V batteries, offering flexibility in various settings.

Next, we have the TRIOS Core scanner from 3Shape. This scanner integrates TRIOS artificial intelligence technology and connects with the 3Shape Unite platform for a seamless scan-and-send workflow. With its USB-C connection and lightweight wand, the TRIOS Core is easy to use and highly efficient. Digital impressions captured chairside can be sent to dental labs or other partners with just 1 click, and the scan data is securely saved in the cloud for access from anywhere.

For those using the TRIOS 5 intraoral scanner, 3Shape now offers TRIOS Ready Tips. These single-use scanning tips come in sealed packages for immediate use, enhancing efficiency and hygiene. Practices can easily switch between autoclavable TRIOS 5 tips and the new ready tips as needed, ensuring flexibility and convenience.

Now, let's talk about SilverPlug® – the world's only certified dental material specifically designed for closing the screw access hole on implant abutments or crowns. Developed in Switzerland, SilverPlug uses silver zeolite in a pliable polymer material to adapt perfectly to the space over the fixation screw. This antibacterial material prevents biofilm and bacteria formation, reducing the risk of periodontal disease around implants. Clinical reports over the past decade have shown significant benefits, including the elimination of bacterial odor and reduced incidences of mucositis and peri-implantitis.

Clinician’s Choice has introduced MPa Universal™, a new adhesive in their MPa family. This single-component, light-cure adhesive is versatile, suitable for all etching techniques and designed for both direct and indirect bonding applications. Key features include high bond strengths with 10-MDP, HEMA, and ethanol as solvents, a low film thickness for ease-of-use, and precision dispensing to ensure efficiency and affordability.

Next, for dental practices looking to enhance their performance, Pronto! Dentistry's Practice Performance System offers a comprehensive solution. This system evaluates clinical, financial, operational, and cultural metrics, comparing them to industry benchmarks and practice goals. It identifies top opportunities for improvement with a single click, helping practice owners and managers address operational issues effectively. Pronto!'s AI-driven platform integrates data from various systems, providing real-time insights and actionable recommendations to optimize performance and achieve better outcomes.

Lastly, Y-Brush has launched the new “20 Second Toothbrush” line, promising a complete clean in just 20 seconds. This innovative product features a unique design that cleans the entire mouth in a fraction of the time required by traditional toothbrushes. Available for both adults and children, the Y-Brush line includes models for different needs and preferences, making oral hygiene more effective and efficient.
