This new sequence with only 3 Ni-Ti instruments simplifies the initial endodontic treatment and optimizes cleaning. The asymmetrical cross section of the REVO-S facilitates penetration by a snakelike movement and offers a root canal shaping that is adapted to the biological and ergonomic imperatives. This sequence has a cutting debris elimination and cleaning cycle that optimizes root canal cleaning by improving the upward removal of the generated dentine debris.

GuttaFlow is the first flowable gutta-percha obturation system that combines gutta-percha and sealer in one material. This self-curing, injectable system works at room temperature (no heating required), ensuring an excellent seal without the shrinkage. With the excellent flow and sealing properties of GuttaFlow, condensation is not required. It comes in single-unit dose capsules that deliver a consistent dosage and minimize contamination. It is also radiopaque and can be removed easily if retreatment or post placement becomes necessary. For more information, call (800) 221-3046 or visit coltenewhaledent.com.

The WaveOne file has a geometry that was conceived specifically to provide a maximum of user benefits from the reciprocating movement of the e3 Torque Control Motor or ProMark Endodontic Motor. This geometry, combined with the proprietary DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties M-Wire Ni-Ti technology, is the main reason for the superior performance of the WaveOne file compared to most Ni-Ti files on the market today. It boasts (1) unique multiple cross-section, (2) M-Wire Ni-Ti, and (3) variable taper instruments on primary and large sizes. The advantages of the reciprocating technique are numerous. It makes it possible to shape most root canals using only a single WaveOne Ni-Ti file. This means that no time is wasted changing Ni-Ti instruments during the root canal shaping procedure.

The P5 XS LED provides the benefits of the powerful Newtron technology, which enables the electronics to adjust the amplitude of the single-plane oscillations of the tips just in time thanks to Cruise Control. This results in a smooth, constant, and powerful vibration and guaranteed efficiency and precision no matter the environment and/or treatment performed. It is equipped with an autoclavable LED light handpiece that produces a very strong light intensity (100,000 lux) and provides excellent visibility of the treatment area, even in posterior zones. The cold light generated by these LEDs is ideal when working with loupes or under a microscope, and it helps to better differentiate between soft-tissue types. P5 XS LED also features a self-contained irrigation system for total autonomy. For more information, call (800) 289-6367, visit acteongroup.com, or send e-mail to
