RESTORATIVE APPLIANCE - DenMat

Chair time is minimal—diagnose and deliver Snap-On Smile in 2 short appointments. For more information, call (800) 445-0345.
 

RETRACTION CORD - DUX Dental

ShortCut is an innovative solution to the problems dentists and assistants face when using retraction cord in a bottle. It offers an all-in-one delivery system for retraction cord. The cutter is built in so there is no need for sterile scissors and the same amount of cord dispenses each time with a simple click. For more information, call (800) 833-8267 or visit duxdental.com.
 

ULTRASONIC SCALER/POLISHING UNIT - Deldent

The JETSONIC 2000M combination ultrasonic scaler/polishing unit incorporates ad­vanced circuitry that accepts and automatically tunes all 25-K and 30-K scaling inserts. The unit’s unique “power-surge” mode increases power for each power setting selected to make light work of tenacious deposits, returning instantly to the memorized power setting as required. The highly acclaimed single-nozzle H.S.T air-polishing system has virtually eliminated irritating nozzle clogging. For more information, call (877) 626-8872.
 

ELECTROSURGICAL EQUIPMENT - Ellman International

With more power and smoother operation than previous Radiolase ma­chines, the RadioLASE 3 enables dentists and oral surgeons to cut and coagulate soft tissues with extreme precision. Operating at 4.0 MHz, it minimizes heat dissipation and cellular alteration, giving you the precision you require with the versatility you need. For more information, call (800) 835-5355 or visit ellman.com.
 

ENDODONTIC HANDPIECE - Essential Dental Systems

The Endo-Express Reciprocating Handpiece and the SafeSiders revolutionize endodontics. This innovative system couples engine-driven reciprocation with a patented flat-sided reamer. This results in less engagement and binding, and virtually eliminates instrument breakage. Finally, dentists can replace instruments because they dull and not because of fear they will break—all for a fraction of the price of other endodontic systems. For more information, call (800) 223-5394.
 

IMPRESSION TRAY - EXACTA Dental Direct

The EXACTA Tray is a 3-in-1 disposable impression tray made from patented nylon-composite that is up to 4 times more rigid than plastic. The wide occlusal plane means less distortion and helps to avoid costly remakes. No tray adhesive is needed due to the tear-proof mesh that secures impressions. Each tray is individually wrapped and sanitized. For more information, call (800) 474-7665.
 

WHITENING SYSTEM - Evolve Dental Technologies

Developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching System provides predictable, intense whitening results, even on tetracycline-stained cases, and solves the bleaching sensitivity issue by protecting the tooth’s pulp from the bleaching product. Evolve is the first bleaching product company to refrigerate its entire line of bleaching gels from the instant of manufacture until received by the dental practice, ensuring superior and consistent efficacy. For more information, call (866) 763-7753 or visit korwhitening.com.
 

AIR ABRASION DEVICE - Groman

The unidose EtchMaster tip is the ultimate powder-blasting instrument for intraoral prophy and abrasion procedures. Its tips never clog and operate without overspray, unlike traditional air polishers and sandblasting equipment, which saves you time and money. You can achieve perfect surface preparation prior to sealants, composite and porcelain repairs, crowns, veneers, brackets, bonding, plus localized stain removal, and surface polishing. For more information, call (800) 906-9298 or visit gromandental.com.
 

DIGITAL SPLINTS - Great Lakes Orthodontics

Great Lakes Orthodontics makes splints easy for you by providing the following: (1) assistance selecting the appropriate splint; (2) a quick yet thorough patient screening guide; and (3) a dedicated splint specialist to guide you through the process. The digital splints are so accurate that minimal, if any, adjustment is needed. For more information, call (800) 828-7626.
 

EXTRACTION INSTRUMENTS - GoldenMisch

The GMX300 posterior molar series is specially designed for hard-to-reach second and third molars. These uniquely designed revolutionary instruments remove teeth efficiently, predictably, and atraumatically using wrist movement only regardless of how much crown is present. In fact, the worse condition the tooth is in, the easier the extraction. For more information, call (877) 987-2284 or visit goldenmisch.com.
 

LED LIGHT SOURCE - Global Surgical

This high output light source connects directly to the microscope body—no fiber-optic cable and no more light bulbs to change. Save money, time, and the hassle of changing bulbs. It is quiet, small, and remains cool. An integrated composite filter is available. The LED comes with a 3-year warranty and is retrofittable to existing Global microscopes. For more information, call (800) 861-3585 or visit the Web site globalsurgical.com.
   

MATRIX BANDS - Garrison Dental Solutions

Modern bonding agents can do more than bond composite to tooth structure. They can also stick to the matrix band, often making them very difficult to remove. Slick Bands prevent this by applying a micro-thin coating to their popular stainless steel matrix bands. For more information, call (888) 437-0032 or visit garrisondental.com.
   

RESTORATIVE - Glidewell Laboratories

Virtually chip-proof, BruxZir Solid Zirconia has no porcelain overlay. This makes it a superior alternative to metal occlusal PFMs and full-cast metal restorations. It provides a new treatment option for bruxers and grinders who have destroyed other restorations. In addition, the CAD/CAM-milled precision and fit of BruxZir reduces chairside adjustment. For more information, call (800) 854-7256 or visit bruxzir.com.
   

RESTORATIVE SYSTEM - GC America

EQUIA is an innovative self-adhesive posterior restorative system that incorporates a light-curing, resin-based G-COAT PLUS coating over the self-curing, self-adhesive GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA. It requires no bonding or multiple polishing steps. EQUIA allows for bulk-filling, has no shrinkage, and has high fluoride release. It has excellent aesthetics for Class I, II (nonstress bearing areas), and Class V posterior teeth in 2 easy steps. For more information, visit gcamerica.com.
