Product Bites Script – October 18, 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, DPR Editor Kellie Nock, and on this week’s podcast we’ve got 3 new products with launches from Ivoclar, VITA North America, and Wisdom.

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

First up…

Introducing the Bluephase EasyCure — the latest innovation in Ivoclar’s Bluephase family of curing lights. Designed for ease of use and optimal performance, it brings a reliable, intuitive option for efficient light-curing in your daily practice. With a light intensity of 1200 mW/cm², it ensures fast and uniform polymerization for all types of restorations. The 1-button operation simplifies your workflow, letting you focus on your patients without being bogged down by complicated settings. Its versatility also stands out, covering a full wavelength spectrum of 385 to 515 nm, compatible with all common light-curing materials.

To celebrate 100 years, VITA has introduced new shades to its VITABLOCS CAD/CAM block lines: TriLuxe forte and Mark II. TriLuxe forte now includes 5 additional VITA classical A1-D4® shades like B1 and C3. With its 4-layer gradient, TriLuxe forte mimics natural teeth for more precise color matching and allows for single-session treatments. VITABLOCS Mark II now features the B1C shade, expanding its range. Known for its durability and fine structure, this ceramic block closely matches natural enamel, with over 20 million restorations completed using it worldwide.

Wisdom is here to streamline your billing processes. Co-founded by billing expert Ashley Bond, the company offers comprehensive services including insurance billing, patient billing, and insurance verification — freeing you and your staff to focus on patient care. Wisdom partners practices with US-based billing experts, offering increased speed and accuracy in collections. The company reports that over 98% of practices increase their insurance revenue when working with them. Plus, they offer a free practice assessment to help you evaluate your current billing setup.
