RTI Mako Receives PTB Approval and Continues Its Success Story in X-ray Dosimetry In July 2026, RTI Mako achieved PTB approval, one of the highest certification levels for an X-ray dosimeter. This represents a significant milestone in the ongoing development of the Mako platform. The PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) in Germany is one of the world’s leading reference laboratories for X-ray dosimetry. As part of the approval process, the PTB evaluates the performance of a measuring device against the requirements of the German Measurement and Calibration Ordinance (MessEV), the Measurement and Calibration Act (MessEG), and relevant IEC standards, including IEC 61674 for dosimeters for diagnostic X-rays. Mako underwent comprehensive testing that included measurement accuracy, energy dependence, dose rate dependence, temperature and humidity effects, long-term stability, repeatability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The entire firmware and software chain was also evaluated as part of the certification process. Mako received certification for all three application areas: R/F (radiography/fluoroscopy), mammography, and CT. Certification across this broad spectrum of applications represents a strong, independent endorsement of Mako’s performance and versatility as a comprehensive solution for quality assurance in X-ray diagnostics. The approval enables the sale of certified Mako configurations in Germany as well as in other markets where PTB approval is recognized or required. Globally, it also provides customers with an important independent reference for Mako’s measurement quality and performance. Confidence for Customers WorldwideMako represents the latest generation of X-ray QA technology from RTI. The PTB approval provides customers and distribution partners with further independent confirmation of its performance. For customers in regulated markets, the approval is an important prerequisite. For customers in other parts of the world, it provides additional assurance that Mako has been independently tested by one of the most respected metrological institutions in this field. A Tradition of Innovation in X-ray Dosimetry: RTI’s experience with PTB type approval dates back to around 1990, when the PMX-III became the first solid-state dosimeter to successfully pass PTB type approval.Since then, RTI has continuously developed new generations of X-ray measurement technology. Barracuda, Piranha, and Cobia also successfully underwent PTB approval as technology and regulatory requirements evolved. With the PTB approval now granted for Mako, the latest generation of RTI measurement technology continues this tradition. “PTB approval has been an important benchmark for RTI’s measurement technology for more than 35 years. The fact that Mako has successfully completed this demanding process is a strong endorsement of the development work that went into the product, as well as its metrological performance. It gives our customers additional assurance that Mako meets the high standards they expect from RTI.” Sören Sturesson, Product Management & Technical Manager for Calibrations, RTI Group Learn more about RTI’s certifications and approvals, as well as our commitment to the highest measurement quality.

Umfangsmatrixsysteme spielen bei Restaurationen der Klasse II nach wie vor eine wichtige Rolle. Zwar haben sich in den letzten Jahren sektionale Systeme durchgesetzt, doch machen zirkumferentielle Matrizen nach wie vor etwa 30 % des weltweiten Matrixmarktes* aus und sind insbesondere im öffentlichen Gesundheitswesen und in Kliniken mit hohem Behandlungsaufkommen weiterhin eine bewährte Wahl. Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten bei traditionellen zirkumferentiellen Matrizensystemen Herkömmliche zirkumferentielle Matrizentechniken, wie beispielsweise das Tofflemire-System, werden seit langem wegen ihrer Einfachheit, Vertrautheit und Vielseitigkeit geschätzt. Bei der Anwendung für Restaurationen der Klasse II können Zahnärzte jedoch Schwierigkeiten haben, die ideale Zahnanatomie konsistent nachzubilden und vorhersagbare Proximalkontakte zu erzielen. In einigen Fällen können die Restaurationen flacher erscheinen, und die Kontaktdichte lässt sich nur schwer optimieren.Diese Mängel können zu Nahrungsmittelretention, schwarzen Dreiecken, Plaqueansammlung, Beschwerden beim Patienten und einem erhöhten Risiko für ein Versagen der Restauration führen.Zudem können die Isolierung und die Randkontrolle besondere Aufmerksamkeit erfordern, insbesondere bei komplexen Fällen oder bei Fehlstellungen benachbarter Zähne. Die Größe und Steifigkeit herkömmlicher Matrixhalter kann zudem den Zugang für die Platzierung von Keilen einschränken und so die allgemeine Handhabungseffizienz beeinträchtigen.¹ Warum ein neues zirkumferentielles Matrizensystem einführen?Weil wir eine Möglichkeit erkannt haben, die Vorteile zu verbessern, die Zahnärzte bereits an zirkumferentiellen Systemen schätzen, und gleichzeitig die ihnen bekannten Herausforderungen anzugehen. Wir haben Lösungen aus jedem Blickwinkel – 360° rund um den Globus 😉 – untersucht, um ein zirkumferentielles Matrizensystem zu finden, das Zuverlässigkeit mit außergewöhnlicher Benutzerfreundlichkeit und intuitiver Handhabung verbindet. Das Ergebnis ist myQuickmat Hoop: ein System, das den gewohnten Arbeitsablauf beim Einsetzen eines Tofflemire-Retainers beibehält und gleichzeitig viele der herkömmlichen Einschränkungen beseitigt. Mit einfacher Platzierung, anatomischen Konturen, einem kompakten Design, harter Folie und voller Schwenkbarkeit setzt myQuickmat Hoop neue Maßstäbe für moderne zirkumferentielle Matrixbandsysteme. Das System umfasst eine Auswahl an regulären und mit Laschen versehenen, vorgespannten zirkumferentiellen Matrizen, ein Instrument sowie interdentale Kunststoffkeile, die zur Stabilisierung der Matrizen und zur Trennung benachbarter Zähne dienen. Vorgespannte zirkuläre Matrizen „Quickmat Hoop“Die Quickmat Hoop ist eine vorgespannte, konturierte zirkuläre Matrize, die für Präzision und konsistente klinische Ergebnisse ausgelegt ist. Das abnehmbare Instrument aus Edelstahl (myHooper-Instrument) ermöglicht eine schnelle, intuitive Platzierung nach der Tofflemire-Technik, ohne dass ein sperriger Halter im Mund des Patienten verbleibt. Dadurch werden Beeinträchtigungen des Weichgewebes vermieden und ein Verrutschen der Matrix während des Eingriffs verhindert.Der farbcodierte, verstellbare Retainer sitzt sicher und ohne sich zu lockern, während der schwenkbare Arm den Einsatz in jedem Quadranten ermöglicht. Vorteile:Einfaches Einsetzen ähnlich wie bei einer Tofflemire-Retention, jedoch ohne deren NachteileAbnehmbares Instrument für schnelles Einsetzen, Festziehen und AnpassenAnatomisch geformtes Band für dichte Ränder und natürliche RestaurationenKompaktes Design, ideal für enge Platzverhältnisse, einschließlich der zweiten und dritten Backenzähne35-Mikron-harte, konturierte Folie: stabil, formbeständig und passt problemlos durch enge KontakteFarbcodierte, verstellbare Kunststoffhalterung, die sicher sitzt, ohne sich zu lockernSchwenkbarer Haltearm für den Einsatz in jedem Quadranten Größen und AusführungenDie vorgespannten Quickmat Hoop-Umfangsmatrizen sind in zwei Umfangsgrößen und drei Höhenvarianten (5,5, 6,5, 8,0 mm) erhältlich:Die große Größe ist in erster Linie für Backenzähne konzipiert.Die kleine Größe eignet sich sowohl für Prämolaren als auch für kleinere Backenzähne.Die Form an der Basis des Bandes verjüngt sich zunächst und weitet sich dann wieder aus. Sie ahmt die Form eines normalen Zahns nach, der bekanntlich nicht senkrecht steht. Control Hoop Tabs für anspruchsvolle FälleIn komplexen klinischen Situationen oder bei Fehlstellungen benachbarter Zähne kann es dennoch schwierig sein, eine optimale Anpassung und feste Kontakte zu erzielen. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, ist das Band auch mit Control-Hoop-Laschen erhältlich, die speziell dafür entwickelt wurden, zuverlässige, enge Kontakte bei großen, mehrflächigen Kompositrestaurationen zu ermöglichen.Offene Kontakte treten häufig auf, wenn sich das Matrixband unbeabsichtigt von benachbarten Zähnen löst. Die Laschen können während der Lichthärtung vorsichtig mit einer Sonde gezogen werden, um einen festen Kontakt aufrechtzuerhalten und dichte interproximale Kontakte zu gewährleisten. Alternativ können sie vorübergehend mit einem Haftvermittler und fließfähigem Komposit an den Okklusalflächen benachbarter Zähne befestigt werden, was das gleichzeitige Füllen und Aushärten sowohl der mesialen als auch der distalen Boxen ermöglicht und so wertvolle klinische Zeit spart. Eine komplette Matrix-LösungDas myQuickmat Hoop-Set enthält eine Auswahl von 40 regulären und mit Laschen versehenen Matrizen, 2 Instrumente sowie eine Packung mit 100 gemischten myHoopy-Kunststoffkeilen, die zur Stabilisierung der Matrizen und zur Abtrennung des Nachbarzahns dienen. Der myHoopy-Keil sorgt für zuverlässige Separation, effektive Gewebekompression und einen sicheren Matrixverschluss, um das Eindringen von Flüssigkeit zu verhindern. Seine parallelen Wände und die allmählich zunehmende Steifigkeit ermöglichen ein reibungsloses Einführen und eine feste Stabilisierung, sobald er in Position ist. Eine Skisprung-Spitze schützt die Papillen, während der ergonomische Griff – mit integrierten Anschlägen und einer Einführöffnung – eine kontrollierte, präzise Handhabung ermöglicht.

The new feature from the Berlin-based dental software provider reduces the workload for dentists at the treatment chair, cuts down on the time spent on documentation, and supports BEMA- and GOZ-compliant service recording—all without switching systems. Berlin, July 1, 2026 – Roger, the digital software solution for dental practices, is expanding its product portfolio with “AI Documentation.” The feature converts spoken language during treatment into structured, audit-ready clinical documentation and automatically assigns the services provided to the corresponding BEMA and GOZ billing items. Practices can thus document directly at the treatment chair, without the need for simultaneous note-taking or subsequent data entry on a screen. Documentation is one of the biggest time-consuming tasks in daily practice life and, according to industry estimates, takes up several hours of dentists’ working time each week. At the same time, it is a legal obligation: Incomplete records can lead to fee reductions and reimbursement claims during efficiency audits. Against the backdrop of the ongoing shortage of skilled workers, this pressure is intensifying even further, as treatment and documentation often must be handled simultaneously by the same team—frequently at the expense of completeness. Roger’s AI documentation addresses this very issue. The dentist describes findings, medical history, and treatment in natural language; the system transcribes the content in real time, organizes it into the standard documentation sections, and suggests the corresponding billing items. The practice team reviews the suggestion and approves it. The information is then automatically transferred to the patient’s record and the services are automatically recorded. The result is consistent, complete entries, and the risk of overlooking services or entering them twice is significantly reduced. Like all Roger products, this feature can be integrated into the practice’s existing IT environment and is compatible with nearly all common practice management systems. There is no need to switch practice software or change established workflows. Roger explicitly positions itself not as a replacement, but as an intelligent layer that complements existing systems and makes them more efficient. “Documentation is mandatory, but it must not take up the time that actually belongs to the patient. With AI Documentation, we shift this work from after-hours back to the treatment chair while ensuring that no service provided is overlooked,” says Victor Charlier, CEO of Roger. “For us, it is crucial that clinical responsibility always remains with the practice team: The AI provides a suggestion, and a human gives the final approval.” The protection of patient data is central to the processing. The data is processed in accordance with the GDPR and stored on servers in Germany. In accordance with professional regulations, the ultimate clinical and legal responsibility remains with the treating dentist. “AI Documentation” will be available to all Roger customers starting July 1, 2026. Interested practices can find more information and request a no-obligation product demonstration at www.goroger.com. About Roger: Roger is a digital software layer for dental practices that integrates with existing practice management systems and automates recurring tasks—from tracking treatment plans (HKP) and communicating with patients via WhatsApp and SMS to AI-powered documentation and billing, as well as digital patient reminders. The goal is to relieve practices of administrative work and free up more time for patient care. For more information, visit goroger.com.

BlueTip, the new sound-activated rinsing tip from Komet, makes root canal irrigation simple, fast, and safe. Lemgo, May 29, 2026 – In endodontics, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system while leaving as little residue as possible is a crucial factor for treatment success. The sound-activated rinsing tip is highly effective at reducing bacteria and the tissue that serves as their breeding ground. Komet makes it easy, quick, and safe for BlueTip users to achieve better cleaning results. Optimized contrast for easier cleaning: BlueTip, the flexible rinsing tip made of polyamide, is more than just another addition to the range of perfectly coordinated, high-quality instruments offered by the medical device manufacturer based in Lemgo, Germany. Above all, the instrument’s blue color significantly increases visibility within the canal, as it contrasts clearly with the dentin.The blue color of the BlueTip makes it easier to insert the tip into the canal without bending it. During the rinsing process, it is easier to see whether the tip is oscillating freely or touching the canal walls. In addition, adhering debris or remnants of a medicated insert are more clearly visible and can be removed if necessary. This reduces blockages and makes it easier to remove residues.This is all the more important because a root canal that is as free of residues as possible supports successful obturation and contributes decisively to the long-term success of the treatment. A positive side effect is that the BlueTip is easy to spot on the tray and is always within reach. Save time with “sonic speed”—the BlueTip can be conveniently inserted into a standard sonic handpiece and activates the rinsing solution in the root canal. The solution activated in this way requires a shorter reaction time to take effect, thus saving dentists valuable time. At the same time, cleaning performance is enhanced. Bacteria, tissue, and the smear layer are effectively reduced. BlueTip precisely follows the course of the canal—flexible and delicate, BlueTip is made of polyamide to ensure optimal protection of natural tooth structure. Made of flexible synthetic material, the delicate tip precisely follows the course of the canal. This makes it noticeably easier for dentists to minimize the risk of unwanted tooth structure removal. In this way, BlueTip helps you preserve the desired state of the canal anatomy. According to users, the fine polyamide tip fits into almost any canal. Another convenience: there is only one size to suit any application, and thanks to sterile single-use packaging, there is no need for documentation. This makes integration into everyday practice—and beyond—extremely easy. BlueTip complements Komet’s endodontic portfolio, ensuring that the complete range of instruments for root canal treatment is now perfectly coordinated and available in the high quality you have come to expect from Komet.

With the new ERGORET Easy, REITEL is introducing a space-saving extraction workstation designed specifically for dust-intensive processing of plaster and zirconia.

It is the ideal, cost-effective solution for dental practice laboratories that value ergonomics and cleanliness “Made in Germany.”

Protection Starts with Comfort Protection doesn’t end with a glove’s performance alone—it begins with how it feels. Because a glove can only reach its full potential in everyday work if it fits properly and is comfortable to wear. A good fit ensures that movements remain natural and the hand doesn’t tire unnecessarily. At the same time, it builds confidence in the protection the glove provides. The result: more efficient work and greater safety in every application. Why Fit and Comfort Are Crucial Our hands perform strenuous work every day. This makes it all the more important to protect them optimally without restricting freedom of movement. Gloves that feel like a second skin support precise work and increase user acceptance. The combination of a precise fit, high-quality materials, and durable construction ensures that gloves not only protect but also actively support you while you work. Protection in Everyday Life Hand injuries are among the most common workplace accidents. The right gloves can help provide effective protection against cuts, chemicals, contamination, and extreme temperatures. The key is this: The best gloves work with your hands—not against them. Quality That Makes the Difference Three factors are crucial: • Precise fit • High-quality materials • High durability These characteristics ensure a comfortable fit, reliable protection, and long-term use in everyday work. Protect your hands. Protect your work. Because only when you can rely on your protective equipment can you fully concentrate on your tasks.

On November 13, 2026, the Dr. B.-Digitec Academy will host a professional continuing education seminar on modern endodontics at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Cologne, featuring Prof. Dr. Michael A. Baumann from Cologne. The seminar will focus on current issues in endodontics as well as the central role of disinfection. Endo Update 2026 is aimed at dentists who wish to gain a professional understanding of their endodontic procedures, update their knowledge, and further develop their skills in a practice-oriented manner. Participation costs 149 euros; 6 continuing education credits will be awarded for the event. Endo Update 2026: What Modern Endodontics Really Needs to Address Today On November 13, 2026, the Dr. B.-Digitec Academy will host a professional continuing education course on modern endodontics. The speaker is Prof. Dr. Michael A. Baumann from Cologne. The event will take place from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Cologne on Dürener Straße. Participants will receive 6 continuing education credits. The flat-rate admission fee is 149 euros per person. The focus will be on questions that are highly relevant to everyday practice: Which preparation methods make sense today? Why does disinfection remain one of the key factors for success in root canal treatment? In a nutshell: The Endo Update 2026 is aimed at dentists who wish to gain a professional understanding of and update their endodontic procedures. The continuing education program brings together current concepts in root canal preparation, disinfection, and clinical decision-making in a practical context. In addition to the professional program, the event also offers opportunities for personal exchange with a welcome coffee break, a flying buffet, and a closing get-together. It’s the disinfection, stupid! A second focus deliberately sums up the issue in a pointed way: It’s the disinfection, stupid! After all, the file system alone does not determine the success of endodontic treatment. What matters most is whether the root canal system is sufficiently cleaned and disinfected. Mechanical instruments cannot reach all areas of the canal system. Lateral canals, isthmuses, dentinal tubules, and complex anatomical structures remain only partially accessible. That is why disinfection is not a secondary step, but a central component of modern endodontics. The focus therefore includes, among other things: appropriate irrigation protocols; contact time, volume, and activation; typical sources of error; disinfection concepts suitable for everyday use; and safe procedures for the practice. Prof. Dr. Michael A. Baumann as a speaker. This combination is particularly important for an Endo Update. New systems and techniques must not only be known but also properly contextualized: What makes sense? What depends on the indication? What truly improves the workflow?Topics at a GlanceThe following topics will be the focus of Endo Update 2026: current issues in modern endodontics; root canal preparation and disinfection; effective irrigation protocols; contact time, volume, and activation; clinical decision-making; safe procedures in daily practice; classification of new and proven concepts; typical sources of error and how to avoid them.

In July 2026, RTI Mako received one of the highest certification levels for an X-ray dosimeter with PTB approval, marking an important milestone in the ongoing development of the Mako platform. The PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) in Germany is one of the world’s leading reference laboratories for X-ray dosimetry. As part of the approval process, the PTB evaluates a device’s performance against the requirements of the German Measurement and Calibration Ordinance (MessEV), the German Measurement Act (MessEG), and relevant IEC standards, including IEC 61674 for diagnostic X-ray dosimeters. Mako underwent comprehensive testing that included measurement accuracy, energy dependence, dose rate dependence, the influence of temperature and humidity, long-term stability, repeatability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). As part of the certification process, the entire firmware and software chain was also evaluated. Mako received certification for all three application areas: R/F (radiography/fluoroscopy), mammography, and CT applications. Certification for this broad range of applications represents strong, independent validation of Mako’s performance and versatility as a comprehensive X-ray quality assurance solution. The approval enables the sale of certified Mako configurations in Germany and other markets where PTB approval is recognized or required. Globally, it also provides customers with an important independent reference for Mako’s measurement quality and performance. Trust for Customers Worldwide: Mako represents the latest generation of X-ray quality assurance technology from RTI, and the PTB approval offers customers and distributors another independent reference for the system’s performance. For customers in regulated markets, the approval is an important prerequisite. For customers in other parts of the world, it provides additional confidence, as Mako has been independently evaluated by one of the most respected metrology institutions in this field. A Tradition of Innovation in X-ray Dosimetry RTI’s experience with PTB type testing dates back to around 1990, when the PMX-III became the first solid-state dosimeter to pass PTB type testing.Since then, RTI has continuously developed new generations of X-ray measurement technology, with the Barracuda, Piranha, and Cobia all successfully obtaining PTB approval as technology and regulatory requirements evolved. With the recent PTB approval for Mako, the latest generation of RTI measurement technology continues this tradition. “PTB approval has been an important benchmark for RTI measurement technology for more than 35 years. The fact that Mako has successfully completed this demanding process is a clear endorsement of the work behind the product as well as its measurement performance. This gives our customers additional confidence that Mako meets the high standards they expect from RTI.” Sören Sturesson, Product Management & Technical Director of Calibrations, RTI Group.

EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) – What Does This Mean for You? The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), adopted in 2023, is an important step toward combating climate change and protecting biodiversity. The goal of the regulation is to ensure that certain products sold in the EU do not originate from deforested areas and are fully traceable back to their source. Following a recent vote in the European Parliament, the implementation of the regulation has been temporarily postponed. For it to finally enter into force, the text must still be formally adopted by the Council and published in the Official Journal of the European Union. This step is considered largely a formality and is expected to take place by the end of 2025. The postponement gives companies additional time to prepare and enables a structured transition. EUDR at Unigloves – Well Prepared for the Future As a major supplier, Unigloves will fully comply with the EUDR’s requirements as of December 30, 2026. The current postponement has no impact on our strategic direction—we have been actively working on implementation for some time now. The regulation’s requirements are being consistently integrated into our procurement, traceability, and compliance processes. This ensures that all relevant products will comply with future legal requirements. For you, this means you can continue to rely on Unigloves products with confidence. Which products are affected? The EUDR applies to products that contain or are made from raw materials such as natural rubber, soy, palm oil, wood, coffee, cocoa, or beef. In the PPE industry, this particularly affects natural rubber and latex gloves, as well as certain packaging materials. Our Approach to Implementation Unigloves takes a proactive and sustainable approach to compliance with the EUDR: • Full traceability of raw materials—from the plantation to the finished product • Sourcing materials that are deforestation-free and legally compliant • Providing due diligence statements for affected products • Conducting regular audits to ensure ongoing compliance Many of these measures are already an integral part of our processes. In addition, we are committed to other sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and using certified, sustainable materials. Sustainability with a Vision Our natural rubber and latex gloves are made from renewable raw materials, are biodegradable, and are being further developed to meet the requirements of the EUDR well in advance of the deadline. Questions about the EUDR? If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the implications of the regulation, we are always happy to assist you.

Die Wiederherstellung der verlorenen natürlichen interproximalen Anatomie des Patienten ist heute eines der wichtigsten Probleme in der Zahnmedizin. Zur zufriedenstellenden Wiederherstellung einer Approximalfläche müssen mehrere Kriterien erfüllt werden, darunter eine anatomisch korrekte Kontur und eine schmale Kontaktfläche, eine adäquate Randanpassung und eine genaue Positionierung des Randkamms. Mängel in diesen Bereichen haben wichtige klinische Auswirkungen.1Die meisten Kliniken beklagen, dass die Rekonstruktion einer zufriedenstellenden approximalen direkten Seitenzahnrestauration ein schwieriges, zeitaufwändiges und oft finanziell nicht lohnendes Verfahren sein kann.Sektionale Matrizensysteme sind die bevorzugte Option. Sie sind jedoch technisch empfindlich, was für unerfahrene Anwender eine Hürde bei der Anwendung darstellen kann. Matrizen unterliegen einer Verformung während der Platzierung und Stabilisierung sowie während der Applikation des Restaurationsmaterials.2 Dies kann zu unerwünschten und klinisch relevanten Problemen bei den resultierenden Restaurationen führen.1,2 Die Stabilisierung des Materials ist der wichtigste Aspekt. Zu diesem Zweck können Keile, Trennringe, Teflonband und blockierendes oder fließendes Harz verwendet werden. Keile sind die am häufigsten verwendeten Hilfsmittel, um sowohl die Stabilisierung der Matrize als auch die zervikale Abdichtung zu erreichen.3 Insbesondere die Verwendung von Kunststoffkeilen ermöglicht ein Einrasten um die zervikale Krümmung, aber nur eine synchrone Positionierung von beiden Seiten bietet einen besseren zervikalen Sitz.2Bislang gibt es keine spezifischen Protokolle für die korrekte Auswahl des Keils, und oft wird der Keil automatisch platziert, ohne dass dem viel Aufmerksamkeit oder Zeit gewidmet wird.Der Keil wird visuell auf der Grundlage der Größe ausgewählt, die der Arzt für annähernd richtig hält, und oft muss er mehrere Größen anprobieren. Das kostet nicht nur Zeit, sondern erhöht auch das Risiko von Gewebeschäden.3 Mit der Weiterentwicklung der modernen Orthopädie gibt es einen rasanten Strom von Produktentwicklungen zur Verbesserung von Effizienz und Ästhetik. myQuickmat Prime von Polydentia ist ein neues sektionales Matrizensystem, das entwickelt wurde, um den gesamten Restaurationsprozess zu vereinfachen und den Zeitaufwand am Behandlungsstuhl zu reduzieren, während gleichzeitig eine korrekte interdentale Anatomie gewährleistet wird. Das System ist ein klares Beispiel für kompromisslose Einfachheit und besteht aus einem Trennring (myRing Prime), einem Ringende mit integriertem Keil (myTines Prime) und einer geformten Matrize für Prämolaren und Molaren (Quickmat Prime anatomische Teilmatrize).Das neue System macht die separate Keilstufe überflüssig, ohne dass die wichtige Funktion des Keils verloren geht. Ein genauerer Blick auf das System zeigt myRing Prime, einen einzigartig gestalteten sektionalen Matrizenring mit einem integrierten Keil an den Enden (myTines Prime), der die Versorgung von Klasse-II-Seitenzahnkavitäten erleichtert.Der Edelstahlring ist so gebogen, dass er nicht mit den Nachbarzähnen in Konflikt gerät. Er kann mit normalen Kofferdamklammern oder der Polydentia myForceps geöffnet und positioniert werden. Der myRing Prime mit seinen wiederverwendbaren und autoklavierbaren keilförmigen (oder flamingoförmigen) Enden bietet eineeffiziente bilaterale Separation an benachbarten Zähnen und gewährleistet eine optimale zervikale Abdichtung und Matrixanpassung an und zwischen Prämolaren und Molaren. Die Fähigkeit zur Autoregulierung macht die Positionierung extrem einfach, da die bilateralen Zervikale das Einsetzen auf natürliche Weise führen, ohne das Risiko einer falschen Positionierung. Der Kopf der Spitze passt die Matrize an, um eine korrekte proximale Krümmung in Richtung des Randkamms zu gewährleisten. Insgesamt verhindert das Design des Ring + Extremitäten-Duos ein Herausrutschen des Rings aus dem Approximalbereich, wie es bei anderen Ringen vorkommen kann (die Keile halten ihn fest an seinem Platz). Die Umgestaltung des Keils als Teil des Restaurationsverfahrens macht das System einfacher, schneller und intelligenter als herkömmliche sektionale Matrizensysteme. Es reduziert die Betriebszeit und den Verschleiß von Keilen2, ohne die Leistung zu beeinträchtigen. Kurz gesagt, es eliminiert Stress! Das System umfasst auch die anatomischen Sektionsmatrizen Quickmat Prime, die starr und leicht zu polieren sind und in einer Dicke (0,04 mm) und Form für Prämolaren und Molaren erhältlich sind. Die Matrize hat im Vergleich zu anderen Matrizen eine stärkere Kontur von zervikal nach okklusal, was eine genaue Positionierung des Kontaktpunkts in Äquatornähe und eine natürlich gebogene Anatomie ermöglicht. Die obere zentrale Lasche erleichtert die Positionierung der Matrize mit oder ohne myQuickmatrix Pinzette oder Pinzette mit abgewinkelter Spitze. Polydentia's myQuickmat Prime geht keine Kompromisse in Bezug auf Effizienz oder Leistung ein: Das Ergebnis ist eine einfachere und natürlichere Versorgung der proximalen Anatomie.

Sintering is a crucial step in the manufacture of dental restorations made of zirconia. As part of the ongoing development of our sintering processes, we have therefore tested various programs in the microwave furnace—with the goal of further optimizing the process in terms of cycle time and energy consumption. Targeted Further Development of Sintering ProcessesTo determine suitable parameters, various programs were tested in the microwave furnace and evaluated for their efficiency and the quality of the results. The focus was on three aspects: the shortest possible process duration, low energy consumption, and a reliable, aesthetically high-quality restoration. Aesthetics Comparable to Standard SinteringIn addition to process optimization, the quality of the sintering results was, of course, also a key focus. The program tested in the microwave furnace achieved aesthetics comparable to those of standard sintering. This experiment thus demonstrates that aesthetically high-quality results can be achieved even with an optimized microwave sintering process.

Lemgo, January 5, 2026 – The H4A, Komet’s new amalgam remover, makes the removal of amalgam safe, simple, and efficient. The H4A, Komet’s new amalgam remover, makes the removal of amalgam safe, simple, and efficient. Whether due to age, damage, caries, or for cosmetic reasons—the removal of amalgam fillings is a routine procedure in any dental practice. In addition to achieving a successful restoration while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible, protecting the patient and the dental team from potentially toxic mercury vapors is an absolute priority when it comes to removing amalgam fillings. While amalgam could already be removed quickly and safely with Komet’s previous amalgam remover, the H32, Komet is now introducing its successor, the H4A, which makes treatments particularly safe, simple, and efficient for users: Specially developed in Lemgo for this very application, this instrument significantly reduces mercury vapor emissions by 40%* compared to its predecessor. H4A – Sharper equals faster equals safer. With the H4A amalgam remover, the Lemgo-based dental specialist is not only launching a successor to the tried-and-tested H32. The new and improved amalgam remover from Komet enhances user safety by reducing the risk of mercury vapor formation by more than a third*. The new amalgam remover owes its significantly higher efficiency to the greater sharpness and optimized geometry of its blades: the new tooth design enables easy, precise penetration into the filling material and a high rate of material removal while demonstrably reducing the formation of mercury vapors. Shorter treatment times and a gentle procedure for amalgam removal. The new amalgam remover, featuring Komet’s renowned and proven quality, can noticeably shorten treatment times thanks to its ability to remove old fillings in a very short time. The difference may seem small when looking at each individual treatment, but the time saved adds up to a significant economic benefit at the end of a typical day in the practice. The sharp blade offers another advantage for patients: the remaining natural tooth structure can be optimally protected thanks to the outstanding sharpness, which ensures precision. All in all, Komet’s H4A is a state-of-the-art amalgam remover that further enhances an already excellent instrument thanks to its new and improved geometry. Further improving what’s already good: H4A. The constant drive to further refine already outstanding solutions to meet individual customer needs is deeply rooted in Komet’s DNA. Driven by the needs of its customers, Gebr. Brasseler GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Lemgo, has been distributing one of the world’s most extensive product lines under the Komet Dental brand since 1923. Over 25,000 items—ranging from rotary dental instruments to complete systems—are already available through sales companies and partners in approximately 100 countries worldwide.The comprehensive range includes sophisticated standard instruments and innovative solutions that set industry-wide standards in dental practices and laboratories. In addition to the traditional “round bur,” the broad portfolio includes many other instruments such as crown cutters, composite removers, and polishers. This is complemented by products and systems for endodontic treatments. Services such as the Komet Academy, which offers training courses on the use of the products, round out the offering.*Source: Komet Dental TestLab, mechanical cutting test 2025. The test is based on a comparison with the predecessor model, the H32.

Das neue Unica Master Kit bietet eine Auswahl an wesentlichen Elementen für die vollständige Kontrolle von Frontzahnrestaurationen und ergänzt die Unica Introkit Reihe von Frontzahnrestaurationssystemen. Das Kit enthält die Versionen Unica, Unica Minideep, Unica Proximal und Unica Proximal deep sowie eine Auswahl an myWedges, die bei Bedarf verwendet werden können. Die Auswahl an Essentials ermöglicht es, ein breites Spektrum an Indikationen abzudecken: von der direkten Schichtung von Komposit-Veneers (partiell und vollständig) &; Formveränderung (d. h. Diastema-Schließung &amp. Neuheit in der Neuheit: Die Produkte werden in einer neuen Luxusbox der Marke Polydentia mit wiederverwendbaren Trays geliefert, in denen die Einheiten untergebracht werden können, so dass sie immer zur Hand sind. Die Box und die Tabletts sind so bemessen, dass sie zur sicheren Aufbewahrung in Schrankschubladen passen und aus wiederverwertbaren und reinigungsfähigen Materialien bestehen. "Das Unica Master Kit ist eine wertvolle Schatztruhe." sagt Andrea Cenacchi de Polzer, International Sales Manager bei Polydentia - "Die neue Box enthält eine optimierte Auswahl an einfach zu verwendenden Unica-Matrizen, die die Rekonstruktion von korrekten und ästhetischen interproximalen und zervikalen Rändern ermöglichen, unabhängig davon, welchen Frontzahn Sie behandeln". Vorteile:- alles Wesentliche für Frontzahnrestaurationen zur Hand- rekonstruiert korrekte und ästhetische interproximale und zervikale Ränder- kosten-effektiv- saubere und sichere Aufbewahrung ausgewählter Produkte- wiederverwendbare und reinigbare Trays- passt in Standardschubladen Wissen Sie mehr über die Produkte: Unica anterior ist das einfache und ideale System für Frontzahnrestaurationen wie Klasse III, IV, V, direkte Schichtungen, Composite-Veneers und Formveränderungen.Seine Matrizenlösungen, Unica anterior und Unica minideep anterior, passen sich dank ihrer konturierten Form korrekt an die verschiedenen Morphologien aller Frontzähne an.Sie ermöglichen es dem Arzt, die proximalen und zervikalen Ränder gleichzeitig zu restaurieren, selbst bei Vorhandensein von gingivalen Retraktionsfäden oder Kofferdam, was die Behandlungszeit erheblich verkürzt.Außerdem lässt sich mit Unica anterior die endgültige Form der Restauration nach dem Einsetzen leicht visualisieren, noch bevor der Eingriff beginnt. Unica Proximal Matrizen sind so konzipiert, dass sie sich labial, palatinal und proximal der Kontur der Frontzähne anpassen.Unica Proximal Matrizen sind besonders für Frontzahnrestaurationen im Approximalbereich (Klasse III und IV, seitliche Schneidezähne in Stiftform, Diastema-Verschlüsse, Teil- und Vollverblendungen) geeignet.Der einfach zu platzierende zervikale labiopalatale Bogen ist so konzipiert, dass er die Matrize zwischen Papille und Zahn subgingival fixiert, um die Stabilität der Matrize nach dem Einsetzen zu verbessern. Ein Keil kann zur Fixierung der Matrize verwendet werden, ist aber nicht zwingend erforderlich.Die Form der Matrize wurde so gestaltet, dass sie optimal auf die Frontzähne passt und eine bessere Sicht und einen besseren Zugang zum Operationsfeld bietet als andere Lösungen wie z. B. Matrizen im Seitenzahnbereich. Unica- und Unica-Minideep-Matrizen können sich als sehr nützlich erweisen, wenn es um anspruchsvolle Fälle geht, bei denen der zervikale und proximale Bereich restauriert werden muss (vollständige Verblendung).Unica Proximal ist die ideale Matrize, um nur die interproximalen Ränder zu restaurieren, ohne den zervikalen Bereich mit einzubeziehen, wenn ein ungehinderter Zugang und eine klare Sicht für ein erfolgreiches Verfahren unerlässlich sind, auch wenn gleichzeitig mesial und distal gearbeitet wird. Die Unica Matrizen können mit oder ohne Kunststoffkeil verwendet werden. myWedge ist ein interproximaler Keil aus modernem Kunststoff. Seine innovative hohle V-Form ermöglicht es ihm, sich zu komprimieren und an die interproximale Anatomie der Zähne anzupassen. Er verhindert eine Beschädigung der Papille, während er das Matrizenband an die Anatomie des zervikalen Bereichs des Zahns anpasst und formt, was ihn auch für den Frontzahnbereich ideal macht. Die einzigartige Rundkopfgeometrie von myWedge wurde für eine einfache Handhabung, Platzierung und Entfernung des Keils mit jeder Standardpinzette oder -zange entwickelt. Mit der Einführung des Unica Master Kits können Kliniker nun aus einem erweiterten Sortiment an Matrizen wählen, um alle Situationen der Frontzahnrestauration abzudecken.Das Produkt ist ab Juni 2025 über das Polydentia-Händlernetz erhältlich.

Auf einen Blick:Prävalenz: In Deutschland ist jedes siebte 12-jährige Kind von MIH betroffen (15,3 %; DMS 6).1Symptombelastung: Neben ästhetischen Beeinträchtigungen, die soziale Interaktionen beeinflussen können, leiden Betroffene häufig unter Hypersensibilität, die Essen und Zähneputzen erschwert.2,3Strukturelles Risiko: MIH-Zähne weisen oft einen erhöhten Protein- und einen verringerten Mineralgehalt auf und sind dadurch porös, was zu einer erhöhten Anfälligkeit für posteruptiven Schmelzverlust und die Entwicklung von kariösen Läsionen führen kann. 1,4,5 Nicht zum ersten Mal in diesem Monat kommt ein Kind mit weißen, gelblichen oder braunen Flecken auf den Zähnen in Ihr Behandlungszimmer. Wie sich das für die betroffenen Kinder anfühlen muss, können Sie sich sicher vorstellen. Denken Sie beispielsweise an Ihren ersten Schultag zurück. Die Aufregung, neue Menschen und fremde Gesichter – Lächeln mit Kreidezähnen? Eigentlich undenkbar. Kinder mit Molaren-Inzisiven-Hypomineralisation (MIH) sind in der Realität keine Seltenheit und können Ihnen in Ihrem Praxisalltag regelmäßig begegnen. Eine fehlende Behandlungsstrategie für MIH oder das „Abwarten und Beobachten” kann frustrierend sein: für Kinder, besorgte Eltern und für Sie als behandelnden Arzt. MIH: mehr als eine RanderscheinungEin Kind mit MIH ist kein Einzelfall, sondern kann Alltagsrealität in Ihrer Praxis sein. Die Zahlen sprechen für sich. In Deutschland leidet im Durchschnitt jedes siebte 12-jährige Kind an MIH, was einer Prävalenz von 15,3 % entspricht.1 Damit wird deutlich: MIH, umgangssprachlich als Kreidezähne bezeichnet, ist eine Erkrankung, die viele Kinder betrifft und dessen Behandlung Aufmerksamkeit verdient. Zwar verlaufen ca. 63,3 % der MIH-Fälle mild, jedoch ist eine frühzeitige Diagnose für den weiteren Krankheitsverlauf von Vorteil.1,6 Patienten im Fokus: Der Alltag mit MIHVielleicht spiegelt sich die hohe Fallzahl auch in Ihrem Praxisalltag wider.Doch was bedeutet die Diagnose MIH für Ihre jungen Patienten und wie lebt es sich damit? Gerade im Alltag kann MIH weitreichende Auswirkungen auf die Lebensqualität der Kinder haben und für Betroffene eine tägliche Herausforderung bedeuten.​3 Von Sichtbarkeit bis SpürbarkeitDie Auswirkungen von MIH auf das Leben Ihrer Patienten können sehr vielseitig sein. Sätze wie: „Putz dir doch mal ordentlich die Zähne.” oder „Warum sind deine Zähne so komisch?” können verletzend sein und sind vollgepackt mit Vorurteilen. Daran wird deutlich, dass insbesondere die Verfärbungen der Schneidezähne die ästhetische (Selbst-)Wahrnehmung der Betroffenen beeinflussen und belastend sein können.7,8 MIH bedeutet für Betroffene viele Symptome, die über die Ästhetik hinausgehen. Patienten leiden häufig an hypersensiblen Zähnen, welche zu Problemen im Alltag führen können.3 Sei es beim Zähneputzen, während der Aufnahme heißer und kalter Nahrungsmittel oder beim Kauen.2,3Diese physischen Symptome können sich zusätzlich auch auf den gesamten Alltag und die psychische Gesundheit auswirken, da sie die Lebensqualität erheblich beeinflussen können.3 Die Zahnstruktur im Fokus: Was passiert im SchmelzWarum sind MIH-betroffene Zähne oft zugleich empfindlich, porös und sind optisch verändert? Ein Blick unter die Oberfläche liefert die entscheidenden Hinweise. Viele der klinisch sichtbaren und spürbaren Merkmale entstehen durch histologische Veränderungen im Zahn. Die Proteinmenge der Zähne ist erhöht, der Mineralgehalt geringer und dadurch ist der Zahn porös, was unbehandelt vermehrt zu Schmelzeinbrüchen führen kann.1,4 Darüber hinaus gibt es Hinweise darauf, dass MIH-Zähne ein erhöhtes Kariesrisiko aufweisen, was die Patienten vor weitere Herausforderungen stellen kann.5 Jetzt (Be)handeln?Die Kombination aus sichtbaren Veränderungen, Hypersensibilität und strukturellen Besonderheiten der Zahnhartsubstanz verdeutlicht den Bedarf an klaren diagnostischen und therapeutischen Konzepten in Ihrem Praxisalltag. Angesichts der hohen Prävalenz stellt sich die Frage, wie Sie dem Behandlungsbedarf in Ihrer Praxis strukturiert begegnen können. MIH-Behandlung in Ihrer PraxisDie Zahlen und die Symptome der Betroffenen sprechen für sich und zeigen, dass MIH-Behandlungen auch in Ihrer Praxis eine regelmäßige Rolle spielen können. Bei 100 Kinderbehandlungen im Monat sind statistisch 13 bis 15 MIH-Fälle zu erwarten.1 Die gute Nachricht für Sie und Ihre Patienten? Es gibt moderne, minimal-invasive Behandlungsmethoden, die sich effizient in Ihren Praxisalltag einbauen und umsetzen lassen. Wenn Sie die passenden Antworten für Ihre Patienten haben, schafft dies nicht nur Vertrauen bei Betroffenen und deren Angehörigen, sondern Sie positionieren Ihre Praxis gleichzeitig strategisch. Denn bei MIH gilt: Die Patientenbindung beginnt bereits früh und eine passende Behandlungsstrategie kann dabei die Grundvoraussetzung sein, um Hand in Hand mit der gesamten Familie zu arbeiten.

Direkte Restaurationen im Frontzahnbereich sind zu einer zuverlässigen Alternative mit guter Langzeitprognose geworden, dank der heute verfügbaren Kompositmaterialien, die in der Lage sind, die Ästhetik und Funktion natürlicher Zähne nachzuahmen.1Dieser minimalinvasive Ansatz zielt darauf ab, eine Zahnsymmetrie zu erreichen und die Ästhetik zu verbessern, indem er die Korrektur von unregelmäßiger Zahnform und -stellung sowie von Verfärbungen ermöglicht. Sie ist reversibel, reparierbar, kosteneffektiv und zeitsparend.2 Es ist wichtig, dass direkte Restaurationen korrekte anatomische Konturen und interproximale Kontakte aufweisen. Aufgrund ihrer Einfachheit und Vielseitigkeit sind anatomische Matrizensysteme und die injizierbare Abformtechnik die am häufigsten verwendeten Methoden für die Neugestaltung der Approximalbereiche von Frontzähnen.2 Matrizensysteme im Frontzahnbereich sind in Bezug auf die Kreativität zahlreich, aber die meisten lassen sich in flexible und starre einteilen. Zu den flexiblen Matrizen gehören die beliebten Mylar-Streifen und weichen Schienenschablonen, die eine Herausforderung darstellen können, da sie nicht in der Lage sind, große Bereiche zu konturieren, was zu unregelmäßigen Konturen und Kontakten führt. Zu den starren Matrizen gehören Putty-Indizes und vorkonturierte Matrizen für den Seitenzahnbereich, beides praktikable Optionen in bestimmten Situationen, aber in den meisten Fällen sind Matrizen für den Seitenzahnbereich umständlich und schwer zu handhaben, wenn mehrere Flächen restauriert werden sollen.3 Die in Zusammenarbeit mit StyleItaliano entwickelte Unica Proximal bietet eine verbesserte Kontrolle bei Frontzahnrestaurationen. Diese neue Frontzahnmatrize von Polydentia macht das Schneiden oder Modifizieren bestehender Seitenzahnmatrizen überflüssig und bietet eine Form, die eine einfache und sichere Anpassung und Passung im Frontzahnbereich gewährleistet und gleichzeitig die unnötige labiale, palatinale und inzisale Verlängerung herkömmlicher Matrizen überflüssig macht.Ihre universelle Form und Kontur für obere und untere mesiale und distale Zähne vereinfacht und beschleunigt Frontzahnversorgungen erheblich. Unica Proximal Edelstahlmatrizen haben eine Dicke von 0.03 mm und sind in zwei Formen (Standard und Deep) erhältlich, die sich labial, palatinal und proximal an die Kontur der Frontzähne anpassen.Unica Proximal Matrizen sind besonders für Frontzahnversorgungen im Approximalbereich (Klasse III und IV, stiftförmige seitliche Schneidezähne, Diastemaschluss, Teil- und Vollverblendungen) geeignet.Der leicht zu platzierende zervikale Labiopalatbogen hat den Zweck, die Matrize zwischen der Papille und dem Zahn subgingival zu sichern, um die Stabilität der Matrize nach dem Einsetzen zu verbessern. Ein Keil kann zur Fixierung der Matrize verwendet werden, ist aber nicht zwingend erforderlich.Die Form der Matrize wurde so konzipiert, dass sie optimal auf die Frontzähne passt und eine bessere Sicht und einen besseren Zugang zum Operationsfeld bietet als andere Lösungen wie z. B. Matrizen im Seitenzahnbereich. Vorteile:- originalgetreue Wiedergabe der labialen, palatinalen und approximalen Konturen- ermöglicht ungehinderte Sicht und Zugang zum Operationsfeld, auch wenn mehrere Matrizen gleichzeitig eingesetzt werden- selbststabilisierend: Nach dem Einsetzen ist die Matrize während des gesamten Eingriffs stabil und gesichert, wobei bei Bedarf ein Keil verwendet werden kann- längere zervikale Verlängerungen als bei posterioren Schnittmatrizen, für eine einfache Wiederherstellung des zervikalen Teils der proximalen Kontur- in zwei Größen erhältlich (Standard und Deep), um eine optimale Anpassung an unterschiedliche Schneidezahnmorphologien zu gewährleisten Die zwei universellen Formen von Unica Proximal decken alle klinischen Situationen ab: Unica Proximal für Standardfälle und Unica Proximal Deep für Perioanwendungen mit flacher Papille.Die Dicke der Matrize (0,03 mm) bietet eine optimale Kombination aus Formbarkeit (Polieren) und Steifigkeit. Mit der Einführung von Unica Proximal können Kliniker nun aus einem erweiterten Matrizensortiment wählen, das alle Situationen der Frontzahnversorgung abdeckt. Unica und Unica Minideep Matrizen können sich als sehr nützlich erweisen, wenn es um anspruchsvolle Fälle geht, die eine Restauration im zervikalen und approximalen Bereich (Vollverblendung) erfordern.Unica Proximal ist die ideale Matrize, um nur die interproximalen Ränder zu restaurieren, ohne den zervikalen Bereich mit einzubeziehen, wenn ein ungehinderter Zugang und eine klare Sicht für ein erfolgreiches Verfahren unerlässlich sind, auch wenn gleichzeitig mesial und distal gearbeitet wird. Besuchen Sie die entsprechende Produktseite, um herauszufinden, wie direkte Kompositrestaurationen, insbesondere in ästhetischen Bereichen, mit Unica Proximal-Frontzahnmatrizen gelegt werden können.

Dental technicians who demand the highest standards of aesthetics and precision know that standard solutions quickly reach their limits when it comes to color matching for zirconia. Those seeking more shades, design options, and control will now find an innovative solution at pritidenta. The company specializes in the development of high-quality zirconia products, such as priti®multidisc ZrO2, in various levels of translucency. Two alternative sintering programs have been developed that allow the color appearance of restorations to be specifically varied—without compromising the safety or material properties of the zirconia.Color Control via the Sintering ProcessThe preset color of zirconia can be controlled within defined limits. The key factor in pritidenta’s sintering processes is the amount of heat applied during sintering:Higher heat input → lighter, more subtle color; lightness value (L*) increases; red (a*) and yellow (b*) components decrease. Lower heat input → more intense, warmer color; lightness (L*) is slightly reduced; red (a*) component increases. Thus, the sintering process opens up new possibilities for aesthetic fine-tuning. The programs were successfully tested by pritidenta application technicians on 1- to 14-unit zirconia restorations. Note: For precise results, sintering should be performed exclusively in calibrated furnaces. A final temperature measurement using PTC rings (MTH) from pritidenta is recommended.Tips for Dental Technicians: The color effect is more pronounced in bridges and larger restorations. PTC rings (MTH) allow for reliable monitoring of the actual heat input. Differences can be clearly documented using bridge samples under various cycles as well as two Vita shade guides (light & chromatic). Advantages at a Glance ✅ Expanded color spectrum – lighter & more subtle or more intense & warmer, depending on individual requirements✅Proven safety – no impairment of flexural strength, hardness, or biocompatibility with priti®multidisc ZrO₂✅Reliable process – tested on 1- to 14-unit restorations, safe in calibrated furnaces

Achieving proper contacts in Class II cavities is the most challenging clinically relevant aspect for clinicians.A clinical study reports that 2.9% of failures in direct restorations are attributable to an unsatisfactory contact point or margin.1 Problems resulting from an inadequate contact surface include displacement, lifting forces, food impaction, difficulty flossing, reduced effectiveness of toothbrushing, and increased plaque accumulation.This leads to periodontal damage characterized by pain, inflammation, and bleeding.2,3 Restoring the anatomy of the missing tooth is important not only to replace the missing structures but also to restore ideal form and function.Selecting a matrix capable of mimicking or reproducing the tooth’s original morphology and curvature is the first step toward a successful aesthetic and functional restoration. Sectional matrices are typically used in combination with a separator ring, which separates the teeth and stabilizes the matrix coronally, thereby facilitating the formation of a contact surface.4,5By engaging the interproximal recesses and applying force to the remaining tooth structure, these systems efficiently increase contact tightness compared to standard matrices or circumferential matrix systems.4,5A restoration with the correct anatomical shape also reduces the need for rotary instruments required for contouring and finishing, thereby saving valuable time for both the dentist and the patient. QuickmatFIT by Polydentia are the new anatomically enhanced stainless steel matrices with a thickness of 0.04 mm, available in three anatomical shapes to cover all types of Class II posterior restorations. QuickmatFIT matrices are particularly indicated for wide interproximal spaces and large cavities. Thanks to their placement tabs, QuickmatFIT matrices are easy to handle and feature a rolled occlusal edge for easy marginal preparation. The accentuated curvature of the matrix fits snugly against the tooth, ensuring an improved fit and stability*, which makes it easier to achieve the correct restoration anatomy. Advantages:- Improved natural curvature: 3D-contoured matrices ensure anatomically correct restorations- Easy handling: The placement tabs (occlusal/buccal/lingual) allow for easier and faster insertion and removal of the matrices (the tip is easy to grasp with tweezers for correct positioning)- Time-saving solution: anatomically precise restorations reduce the time required for shaping and finishing- Three matrix shapes (premolar, molar, and deep molar)—thin, rigid, yet burnable—deep molar version for effective cervical margin seal With the introduction of QuickmatFIT, clinicians can now choose the Polydentia matrix that best meets their requirements in terms of height, thickness, concavity, and distance to the adjacent tooth. Using an anatomically enhanced QuickmatFIT sectional matrix in combination with a sectional matrix ring (myQuickmat Forte Ring with myTines extensions) and interdental wedges (myWedge V-shaped plastic wedges) as part of a complete sectional matrix system ensures the successful restoration of Class II cavities with natural tooth anatomy. Visit the corresponding product page to discover how your daily restoration routine can benefit from using the anatomically enhanced QuickmatFIT Sectional Matrices.

Fluorosis, MIH, amelogenesis imperfecta, and trauma-induced enamel opacities affect countless people worldwide. Patients suffer from aesthetic impairments and tooth hypersensitivity. This can lead to social exclusion, bullying, functional complaints, and pain. Nevertheless, there have been few adequate treatment options to date for this group of patients, most of whom are young. DMG presents a validated, minimally invasive treatment concept combining bleaching, infiltration, and 3D printing technology. Infiltration with Icon: A Game-Changer for Patients with Developmental Enamel Opacities The minimally invasive infiltration procedure using Icon Vestibular offers an effective and gentle solution for conditions such as MIH on anterior teeth. The treated area blends seamlessly with the healthy enamel. Infiltration in cases of MIH preserves healthy tooth structure—a crucial advantage in the treatment of young patients. It also gently improves the aesthetic appearance. Infiltration Plus Bleaching for an Optimal Overall Result To achieve a harmonious overall result, it is necessary to prepare the teeth for the subsequent infiltration. This pretreatment of developmental enamel opacities conditions the protein-rich lesions, thereby optimally preparing them for infiltration therapy. With DMG’s Flairesse Bleaching Gel, a medical device is now available that, thanks to its low concentrations of CP 5% and CP 10%, enables precisely this type of gentle preparation. Medical bleaching gel, custom-fit 3D bleaching tray: The new Flairesse Bleaching Gel was developed specifically for the medical, preparatory treatment of developmental enamel defects and can also be used on young patients. It thus fills a critical gap in care. Another valuable component of the treatment is the 3D-printed DentaMile bleaching tray. Its key advantages are the precise reservoirs, which can be adapted to the individual patient’s situation, and the excellent marginal seal. This ensures efficient bleaching and reliably protects the gums.At the DMG booth in Hall 10.1, interested visitors can see for themselves the new possibilities offered by MIH treatment.

Tedious manual preparation, reluctance to change habits or invest in future-proof technology, cumbersome software updates, restrictions caused by cables getting in the way or expiring battery life, as well as inaccurate or delayed apex measurements—endodontic treatments present users with a variety of personal challenges. A solution for individual needs: “Endo has many requirements. ‘Here is the solution’ is the promise Komet makes to its customers with the latest EnDrive endo motor. The motor, consisting of a compact main unit and a magnetically clip-on handpiece, makes endodontic treatments economical, simple, and safe. It has been available in Germany since January. Dentists know how important it is in daily practice to provide smooth treatments while ensuring that the processes involved are as safe as possible. Treatment efficiency—and thus practice capacity utilization—can be increased, and costly interruptions and downtime can be avoided if the tool performs exactly as intended for the user. This is where the EnDrive truly shines, meeting customers’ requirements and expectations. Cost-effective thanks to efficient treatment processes The new option for convenient software updates via Wi-Fi saves resources, time, and effort. The easy-to-use, clearly laid-out 7-inch color touchscreen display shows all values and controls at a glance, allowing users to focus on the patient rather than the technology. With a maximum battery charging time of 1.5 to 2.5 hours, the EnDrive is always ready for use—and if you’ve forgotten to charge it, the main unit and handpiece can also be charged during treatment. The integrated calibration function ensures that the EnDrive’s contra-angle handpiece operates optimally and that the set torque is transmitted precisely. There is no need for an additional silicone cover because the contra-angle handpiece is insulated. This conveniently prevents potential measurement errors in the event of accidental contact inside the oral cavity—for greater efficiency and fewer treatment breaks and interruptions. Plug-and-play, convenience, and intuitive operation The EnDrive was developed so that users can stick to their usual workflow. The comprehensive file library includes nearly all known endo files, along with their presets, regardless of whether they are rotary or reciprocating and whether they come from Komet’s extensive portfolio or from other manufacturers. Users can not only continue to use their favorite files; the EnDrive also remembers them and makes them available as preferred options. Operation is intuitive and requires little training—“plug and play,” so to speak. The battery-powered handpiece also eliminates the need to pull and tug at cables. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the handpiece is ideal for both left- and right-handed users. It is suitable for delicate work and enables maximum mobility. Its compact size and light weight allow the device to be transported quickly and used on the tray. The main unit can be used in both vertical and horizontal orientations, which is a great advantage, as it can be positioned flexibly according to preference and the available space. Simply safe: Simplicity without compromising safety. This includes, for example, the very small contra-angle head, which can be rotated 360° at any time to suit your preference. It guarantees the best possible view of the working area. For the first time, a handpiece from Komet can be attached to the motor using a magnetic mechanism. This not only simplifies quick one-handed transport to the next room but also allows the handpiece to be set down quickly and safely, while reducing the risk of contamination. Before the maximum torque is reached, the new LED ring on the handpiece alerts the user, thereby reducing the risk of file fracture. The EnDrive’s auto-stop and auto-reverse functions also minimize the risk of file fracture and, consequently, treatment delays. The highly precise apex localization helps users perform the preparation exactly at the right time and in the right place. This reduces the risk of over-preparation. The patented system takes measurements with the utmost precision and in real time while treatment continues. Thanks to the included file clamp, this also works in conjunction with manual files. Driven by customer needs With its wide range of established and new features, the EnDrive lives up to its promise to deliver the best solution for individual customer requirements—a promise that is deeply rooted in Komet’s DNA.

For several months now, our new evo brushes featuring Bionic-Hair have been impressing dental technicians worldwide. What’s behind this revolutionary brush hair, why did we at Renfert embark on this development journey, and how are we now setting new standards with Bionic-Hair? We spoke with Cim Özyurt (Product Manager) about this.For more than four decades, Renfert has been developing high-quality dental brushes for ceramic layering. The introduction of Bionic-Hair is another milestone born out of our pursuit of improved materials and technologies. The newly developed fiber material is based on our many years of experience in brush technology and is the result of intensive research and development. “High-quality natural-hair brushes are ideally suited for the dental field due to their characteristics. The combination of fineness, durability, and moisture management—thanks to the scaly hair surface—makes them superior to previous alternatives. However, quality is subject to increasingly significant fluctuations, and the availability of the raw material is declining.” Bionic-Hair combines the positive properties of natural and synthetic hair brushes while overcoming their disadvantages. The material is characterized by exceptional elasticity and remarkable durability, showing no fraying or kinking even with intensive use. These properties make Bionic-Hair particularly suitable for precise and demanding dental applications, such as layering ceramic. “Another key aspect in the development of Bionic-Hair was the responsible use of resources and animal welfare,” says Cim Özyurt.Renfert has created a material that not only impresses with its performance but also reflects a commitment to the environment and animal welfare. Bionic-Hair eliminates the risk of import bans and fluctuating quality associated with natural hair, thereby contributing to a more reliable and ethical supply chain.“With Bionic-Hair, we offer more than just an alternative—Bionic-Hair is the solution.” Currently, three of our brush models are available with Bionic-Hair: our “evo” edition from lay:art evo, Genius evo, and Kolinsky evo.In an in-depth interview (published in dental dialogue, 05/2024), Cim Özyurt, Product Manager at Renfert, provides insights into the challenges and successes associated with the development of Bionic-Hair. He emphasizes the importance of effective moisture management and elasticity, which distinguish Bionic-Hair. These factors are crucial for ensuring the performance and precision that dental technicians expect from their tools. “Thanks to the composition of differently treated fiber filaments, Bionic-Hair absorbs moisture similarly to natural hair. This allows us to replicate the characteristic flame-shaped brush tip. In addition, we have developed a process that allows us to selectively place fine hairs in the brush tip. This increases the hair density in this area. The result is a sturdier tip and high flexibility—even under heavy use.” Layering with Bionic-Hair offers significant advantages. Brushes with Bionic-Hair adapt to the individual techniques and movement patterns of ceramic artists, leading to improved handling and better results. The molecular structure of Bionic-Hair enables consistent quality and performance that cannot be achieved with conventional materials. “Effective moisture management in a brush is always a key factor. Furthermore, precision is crucial when layering ceramic. The brush requires high elasticity to process both small and large amounts of ceramic material in a controlled manner.” Bionic-Hair is more than just an alternative to existing products—it is a forward-looking solution that revolutionizes everyday work with ceramics. With Bionic-Hair, Renfert continues its tradition of innovation and offers dental laboratories a tool that is not only technically superior but also tailored to their needs.

On September 17, 2025, DentistryIQ published the article “Smart Feedback Systems in Preventive Dentistry” by Nina Garlo-Melkas. The article explores digital tools that help patients better understand their oral hygiene and assist dentists in tailoring preventive measures to individual needs. DentView from Finland is presented as an example: a kiosk for dental practices, a mobile app for patients, and a professional portal for dentists. The system provides patients with feedback on their oral hygiene and personalized tips. Dental practices can also use it on a tablet, in a web browser, or as an app.

Lemgo, November 25, 2024 – Since its founding in 1923, Komet has strived to provide excellent service and high-quality products for every step of dental treatment. The new BioRepair Putty aligns seamlessly with this philosophy and rounds out Komet’s endodontic portfolio. Komet BioRepair is an “all-in-one” solution that helps dentists streamline their procedures. From pulpotomy to apogenesis and retrofilling, Komet covers eight indications and enables dentists to preserve their patients’ natural teeth for as long as possible—even in challenging cases. Thanks to its innovative formula, the putty can both stimulate the patient’s healing process and ensure the preservation of vitality. These characteristics make BioRepair the perfect solution for standard treatment procedures, but it is also particularly well-suited for treating challenging patients. Furthermore, the high alkaline pH value of ~12 helps inhibit bacterial growth—a feature that is further enhanced by the use of a material that does not shrink during the setting process, leaving no space for bacterial infiltration. In addition, dentists benefit from the ease of application and consistently high Komet quality: The bioceramic putty comes as a ready-to-use solution. This eliminates user errors when mixing the material and saves dental practices both time and money.

Dentaurum was not only the first company in the world to introduce laser technology on a broad scale in dental technology, but has also established its market-leading position through an extremely sophisticated product line, above-average service, and extensive consulting expertise. In the IDS year 2025, the medical device manufacturer boasts an impressive 30 years of experience in the field of laser technology. The laser has become an unbeatably useful tool for joining materials in both dental technology and orthodontics. It enables the creation of completely biocompatible bonds without the use of solder. The cost-effectiveness stems from enormous time savings. A Successful Market Entry Thirty years ago, Dentaurum successfully entered the field of laser technology. The advantage of dental laser technology, in contrast to the soldering technique that had been primarily used up to that point, lay in the fusion of materials of the same type. While soldering always requires the use of a less noble alloy as solder, dental welding joins metals and alloys of the same type. The result is stronger bonds that exhibit increased corrosion resistance. This is a decisive advantage, particularly with pure titanium, but also with all other dental alloys. The first laser, which Dentaurum marketed under the name DL 2000, was presented to interested professionals at the dentechnica trade show in Nuremberg in 1993. Its ease of use, comfortable seating position, and a well-thought-out, elegant design were additional factors that helped the DL 2000 achieve a successful market launch. Continuous development for high customer satisfaction The successor models—the DL 2002, DL 2002 SF / SFS Desktop, and DL 3000—also enjoyed great popularity. In 2004, the first generation of the desktop Compact Laser was launched. This laser, with its compact size yet powerful performance, was already an important part of Dentaurum’s product portfolio at that time and remains so today.The desktop unit, which covers all areas of dental technology and orthodontic applications—from the finest welding to secure joining—recently received another technical update. Precise power control significantly simplifies the work. Such compact dimensions were previously unattainable for lasers in this power range. Thanks to its ergonomic design (large working chamber with tiltable laser axis), the laser facilitates fatigue-free work and guarantees easy operation and clarity via the touchscreen. The device features a high power reserve, a high-quality microscope with a wide field of view, an integrated suction system, and a cooling air nozzle. The integrated pulse shaping function includes 4 preset pulse shapes. The wide range of pulse parameter settings can be easily adjusted using joysticks. Also integrated are 2 shielding gas nozzles: 1 flexible and 1 fixed with tilt capability. The Laser Welder SL10 from Siro Lasertec expands the current laser portfolio with another product at an attractive entry-level price. The welding performance of the Laser Welder SL10 is optimized for dental applications and is particularly well-suited for orthodontics. As a result, the device is also ideal for smaller dental laboratories and orthodontic practices. A color camera transmits the welding process directly to the display. At the IDS, ZT Hector Alvarez Lorenzo will give a presentation on Thursday and Saturday at the Dentaurum booth D010/E019 in Hall 10.1 on laser welding in prosthetics and orthodontics. Those interested can find further details at www.dentaurum.de/lp/deu/ids-2025.aspx. Users can look forward to seeing how the field of laser technology will continue to evolve and anticipate further milestones in the coming years.

Das Produktprogramm von Dentaurum hat sich seit dem Gründungsjahr 1886 in der langjährigen Firmengeschichte vielfach verändert. Nicht vielen Dentalprodukten ist es geglückt, sich über Jahrzehnte hinweg erfolgreich am Markt zu halten, geschweige denn die vorliegenden Gegebenheiten zu definieren. remanium® ist jedoch ein Markenprodukt, das sich fortlaufend weiterentwickelt hat und dank beständiger Innovationen den technischen Fortschritt der Zahntechnik widerspiegelt. Im Jahr 2025 feiert remanium® sein 90. Jubiläum und man kann mit Stolz sagen, dass die remanium® Legierungen zu den bekanntesten Dentalprodukten in der Zahntechnik gehören und auf eine lange Produktgeschichte zurückblicken können. Die 1935 vorgestellte Remanit Cobalt-Chrom-Legierung für Modellguss wies bereits grundsätzliche Eigenschaften und Legierungskomponenten auf, die bis heute bei hochwertigen Modellgusslegierungen unter dem Namen remanium® (seit 1964) anzutreffen sind. Aufbrennlegierungen sind in deutschen Dentallaboren seit 1962 bekannt. Ende der 60er bis Anfang der 70er Jahre des letzten Jahrhunderts wurden die ersten aufbrennfähigen Legierungen bekannt, die keine Edelmetallanteile mehr enthielten.Seit Anfang der 80er Jahre des letzten Jahrhunderts wurden die Cobalt-Chrom-Modellgusslegierungen so modifiziert, dass sie als Kronen- und Brücken- sowie Aufbrennlegierungen verwendet werden konnten. Ein Beispiel für diese Weiterentwicklung ist die Legierung remanium® CD, die ab 1982 bei Dentaurum in der neuen Vakuum-Schmelz- und Gießanlage im Feinguss hergestellt wurde. Die Schmelzanlage wurde 1985 erweitert und ermöglichte den Produktionsbeginn der Stranggussherstellung unter Vakuum und Schutzgas. Insbesondere die neuen edelmetallfreien CoCr-Legierungen für den festsitzenden Zahnersatz stießen in der dentalen Fachwelt auf großes Interesse, aber auch auf so manchen erbitterten Widerstand. Die Modellgusslegierung remanium® GM 900 stellte im Jahr 2000 eine innovative Neuheit in der Zahntechnik dar, denn die titan- und kohlenstofffreie Modellgusslegierung zeichnete sich durch eine besonders gute Laserschweißbarkeit aus. Die Produktion der Kronen- und Brückenlegierungen wurde 2003 auf Strangguss umgestellt. Neu zur Legierungspalette hinzu kam in diesem Jahr remanium® star, eine CoCr-Legierung mit besonders geringer Härte. 2005 wurde mit remanium® secura eine besonders einfach und sicher zu verarbeitende CoCr- Legierung vorgestellt. Ebenfalls 2005 wurde mit remanium® LFC eine Legierung in das Dentaurum-Lieferprogramm aufgenommen, die von der Wärmeausdehnung her den „Biolegierungen“ auf hochgoldhaltiger Basis entsprach und mit denselben Spezialkeramiken verblendbar war. Edelmetallfreie remanium® Dental-Gusslegierungen von Dentaurum sind seit vielen Jahrzehnten in der Prothetik ein Qualitätsbegriff und millionenfach im Einsatz. Um den neuen Technologien für optimale Ergebnisse das Arbeiten mit klinisch bewährten Legierungen zu ermöglichen, steht heute die langjährig klinisch bewährte CoCr-Gusslegierung remanium® star in gleicher Qualität für drei Techniken zur Verfügung: Neben den bekannten Gusszylindern für den zahntechnischen Feinguss sind seit 2008 auch Fräsrohlinge für die spanende Bearbeitung und seit 2010 Mikropulver für die LMF (Laser Metal Fusion) Technik verfügbar. Seit 2013 werden Frässcheiben in Premium-Qualität angeboten. remanium® star MD II zeichnet sich durch eine homogene Zusammensetzung für sehr hohe Festigkeiten und eine überaus hohe Duktilität aus. Diese Eigenschaften sind besonders in der Implantattechnik von großem Vorteil. Um die Entwicklung und Herstellung von Produkten für die digitale Fertigung um entsprechende Dienstleistungen auszuweiten, schuf man 2016 die Abteilung digitale Technologien. Speziell hierzu eingestellte Fachleute brachten die nötige Expertise in dieser schnell wachsenden, fortschrittlichen Domäne in das Unternehmen. Das heutige Ergebnis ist ein digitales Supportteam mit einem umfassenden digitalen Know-how, das ideale Werkstoffe für den Einsatz in der digitalen Zahntechnik konzipiert. Metallische Prothetikwerkstoffe, insbesondere die edelmetallfreien CoCr-Legierungen, werden auch in Zukunft wichtige Stützpfeiler in der Prothetikkonzeption sein. In bewährten Werkstoffen zur Herstellung dentaler Kronen- und Brückengerüste, sehen wir bei Dentaurum den Schlüssel für qualitativ hochwertigen Zahnersatz und eine hohe Patientenzufriedenheit. Dentaurum ist deshalb fortlaufend aktiv in der Entwicklung, Produktion und Qualitätssicherung tätig, um die bekannte und bewährte hohe Qualität der remanium® Legierungen weiterhin zu sichern. Auf der IDS wird ZT François Hartmann am Dienstag und am Mittwoch auf dem Dentaurum Messestand D010/E019 in Halle 10.1 über CoCr und Titan Werkstoffe inkl. Übersicht der Herstellungsarbeitsschritte sprechen und dabei auf wichtige Materialeigenschaften von remanium® und rematitan® eingehen.
