Ultradent Products, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of high-tech dental materials, is unveiling a new Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) repair cement in the MTAFlow™ product family, MTAFlow White repair cement.

MTAFlow White repair cement gives clinicians the same safe delivery and customizable consistency of the original MTAFlow™ repair cement, now in a nonstaining formula. This versatile repair cement is designed to mix quickly, smoothly, and easily for a variety of procedures. It can be conveniently delivered through Ultradent’s syringes and tips, ensuring precise placement for effective treatment.

The mixing ratio of the powder and gel components can be combined into various levels of viscosity, from a putty consistency to a consistency so flowable it can be delivered via a 29 ga NaviTip™ tip.

Developed as an option for procedures in the esthetic zone of the tooth, MTAFlow White repair cement has bioactive properties to promote healing, sets quickly, and resists washout, allowing clinicians to lightly rinse the area (after five minutes post-placement) without dislodging.

Ultradent Products, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of high-tech dental materials, is revealing its latest tool for non-invasive treatments—the photobiomodulation (PBM) adapter for the Gemini™ 810 + 980 soft tissue diode laser.

When paired with the Gemini laser, the PBM adapter gives clinicians the ability to treat a myriad of conditions—specifically pain management, even with such conditions as TMJ disorders—with one easy-to-use device. “We’re committed to progressing non-invasive dentistry and our PBM adapter furthers that effort,” says Ultradent Founder and CEO, Dr. Dan Fischer. “This adapter allows clinicians across the globe to better serve their patients through a variety of treatment needs.”

The PBM adapter marks another technological advancement for Ultradent, following tireless research into the benefits of photobiomodulation treatments. “With a wealth of well-documented clinical studies in hand, we know that PBM can be a valuable resource to the clinician.

The latest innovation in dental restorative technology – the Uveneer Extra template system – is now available through Ultradent Products, Inc., a global manufacturer and distributor of dental materials and equipment.

The Uveneer Extra template system complements the original Uveneer template system to provide more natural restorations with four new upper anterior designs – Extra Large, Large, Medium, and Square templates. The templates work with any preferred composite to create exquisite, reproducible composite veneers with predictable shape and symmetry.

Dr. Sigal Jacobson’s desire to create elegant and efficient veneers inspired her to create the Uveneer template family. “Composites have developed to the point that we’re able to really change patients’ lives by doing more composite work [. . .] Dentistry is going toward natural looking surface textures, so Uveneer Extra has more natural templates which were scanned from real people.”

These unique, autoclavable* templates prevent the oxygen inhibition layer from forming during the curing process resulting in hard, glossy surfaces – while also allowing light to pass through to the composite for effective curing.

*Base in which templates arrive is not autoclavable, rather only the templates themselves. Do NOT autoclave the base.

Ultradent Products, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of high-tech dental materials, is unveiling the latest innovation in disposable prophy angles (DPAs)—the Ultrapro Tx Sweep DPA.

Splatter is a near constant concern for dental hygienists during polishing, with 80 percent reporting at least a moderate amount while using their current prophy angle. After switching to the Ultrapro Tx Sweep DPA, five out of six hygienists experienced a significant reduction in splatter. 95 percent said they encountered little to no splatter compared to their former angle.

Ultrapro Tx Sweep DPA’s performance upgrades come from the unique brush guard attached near the head of the angle, effectively “sweeping” away saliva and prophy paste as it accumulates. This method significantly reduces splatter by 95 percent*. The flexible bristles of the brush guard prevent splatter before it gathers by efficiently stopping saliva and paste from collecting and roping around the outside of the cup.

In order to reduce prophy paste waste and keep the treatment field clean, the Ultrapro Tx Sweep DPA sweeps excess saliva and paste back toward the tooth. This allows the hygienist to continue working, with no need to refill the cup with additional paste.

The benefits of Ultradent’s popular Ultrapro™ Tx Skini DPA have been seamlessly incorporated into the Ultrapro Tx Sweep DPA. Features include advanced internal blade design, outer ridges for better interproximal cleaning, optimal flare, and quiet gear design. Its ergonomic shape features both a 20 percent shorter head for better access and a 25 percent slimmer neck for improved visibility.

Building on Ultradent’s tradition of innovation, the Ultrapro Tx Sweep DPA sets a new standard in polishing, ensuring both hygienists and patients have the clean and comfortable experience they deserve. To learn more, or to purchase the Ultrapro Tx Sweep disposable prophy angle, call 800.552.5512 or visit ultradent.com.
