New CD Helps General Practices Minimize Errors in EndodonticsCareCredit (Costa Mesa, CA), North America’s leading patient payment program, is offering a FREE educational CD, “The Economics of Endodontics,” featuring leading expert Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan. As the demand for endodontic procedures continues to increase, more general dentists are considering how endodontics can benefit their practice and patients. In this instructive audio program, Dr. Buchanan identifies the three most common mistakes made by general dentists performing endodontics: deciding which cases to treat or refer, the use of rotary instrumentation, and timing of procedures. Most importantly, he discusses how common mistakes can be avoided. He also explains how to protect the most valuable commodity to your practice. For more information or to request your free copy of Dr. Buchanan’s audio CD, call CareCredit at 1-800-300-3046 ext. 4519 (if new to CareCredit) or 1-800-859-9975 (if already enrolled) or visit www.carecredit.com. |
The new patent-pending Revolution carbide bur offers practitioners a new bur design. Specifically, the rake angles on the burs have been exaggerated and have been combined with a stag-gered toothing, resulting in a sharper bur and a more aggressive performance in the hands of the practitioner. This allows for fast cutting and minimal vibration; superior performance and efficiency for everyday preparations; and a durable, long-lasting bur, resulting in the best value and return on investment.

Every dental professional and specialist will benefit from this text, which presents a variety of interesting traditional and nontraditional material. The illustrations are breathtaking, balancing histology with contemporary esthetic management. Mixing 804 brightly colored drawings and clinical photographs with fascinating chapters, Traumatic Injuries includes hundreds of examples of clinically relevant material, making the book less of a reference and more an update course. The text is clear and well written with references throughout. Beyond the details of dental traumatology, Traumatic Injuries also touches on the social responsibilities of the dental profession. These include child abuse, impact of post-trauma treatment costs, impact on psyche, and a chapter on outreach communications for public awareness of dental trauma. Traumatic Injuries will serve as an excellent reference for practitioners and specialists who have a good working knowl-edge of dental traumatology, but it is a gold standard for building the student’s lifelong reference library. Textbook and Color Atlas of Traumatic Injuries to the Teeth 4th Edition. J.O. Andreasen, F.M. Andreasen, and L. Andersson, editors. Blackwell Munksgaard, 2007. 912 pages. |
The Mini L.E.D. Autofocus is the first to automate the clinical process of polymerization. Based on a complex telemetry system and an innovative microprocessor, the so-called “active system” constantly calculates the power density ideal for curing a layer 2-mm thick (for all popular light-cured materials). With an output of more than 2,200 mW/cm2, the Mini L.E.D. Autofocus is currently the most powerful LED light. This exceptionally high light intensity, combined with a 100% light spectrum, enables dentists to achieve extremely rapid curing without generating heat. Power can be perfectly controlled with three different curing programs: standard mode, pulse mode and soft start mode. For more information, call 800-289-6367, or e-mail info@us.acetongroup.com |

• The DK oral lesion screening instrument works in conjunction with a mild acetic acid rinse to improve the visualization of abnormal tissue within the oral cavity. The DK exam enhances the ability to detect oral lesions at their earliest stages, when they are most curable. • The DK transillumination instrument emits an intense, focused beam of light to help visualize crown fractures and caries in teeth. This device makes it easy to identify anterior and posterior proximal caries. • The DK lighted mirror features a powerful LED light source to illuminate the mirror’s reflection. This is the perfect instrument to increase visual acuity in those hard-to-see places within a patient’s mouth. The complete kit includes the LED light source (batteries included), the oral lesion screening instrument, transilluminator instrument, lighted mirror, and six bottles of the DK rinse solution. All three instruments are autoclavable, and additional rinse can be easily ordered directly from the Orascoptic online store. For more information, visit www.orascoptic.com or call 800-369-3698. |
