DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties Sets a “Blue” Standard
DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties today introduced a new rotary endodontic file – Vortex Blue™.
Utilizing a new and proprietary method of processing of NiTi wire that results in a Blue titanium oxide layer, Vortex Blue has a visibly new approach to metallurgy. Vortex Blue features the same patented variable helical angle design as the original ProFile® Vortex® that clinicians have come to know and trust for efficiency and dependable clinical outcomes.
Vortex Blue also offers a leap forward in resistance to cyclic fatigue – the leading cause of file separation1 – with a minimum of a 65 percent improvement over M-Wire® NiTi and a minimum of 99 percent improvement over standard NiTi* (maximum results up to 353 percent better). In addition to significantly greater resistance to cyclic fatigue, Vortex Blue delivers at least 42 percent higher peak torque strength over M-Wire NiTi* (maximum results up to 126 percent better).
KOMET USA Launches Extra-Long, “Perio-Length” Diamond for Crown Preparation
Developed to address crown-preparation requirements in cases presenting gingival recession, the KOMET® S6856XL.FG.021 diamond features a 12-mm. working length. This extra-long, “perio-length” diamond allows the operator to maintain ideal position and angle of the handpiece and avoid interference with adjacent teeth, thus permitting the precise preparation and refinement of optimal crown margins at the proper angle in patients who have longer, exposed crown lengths.To achieve the desired surface roughness in particular cases, subsequent application of a matching-length finishing diamond, the KOMET® 8856XL.FG.021 instrument, is recommended. This instrument is specifically designed to correspond to the extra-long, crown-preparation diamond and to simplify finishing procedures in cases where gingival recession is present and in other cases requiring an instrument with a longer working head.
