Taking implants into the future – TBR

With more than 30 years’ experience, TBR is a leader in the implant field, and at this year’s BDIA Dental Showcase the team showcased their revolutionary Z1 implant.

This tissue level implant combines titanium and zirconia, whose biocompatibility allows for better clinical results. The unique zirconia collar helps improve soft tissue management and prevent peri-implantitis, while offering unmatched aesthetic results. And with a 98% success rate, it is no wonder delegates were wowed.

TBR’s bone level implants were also featured, with platform switching for reduced inflammatory infiltration. They offer long-lasting aesthetics, bone stability and soft tissue preservation, with optimal primary stability in all bone densities.

Delegates could also find out more about the Baby-M and Baby 8 short implants. Using these can help avoid invasive surgery, such as sinus lifts, and lead to long-term aesthetic and functional success.

Some of the most advanced implant systems in the world, TBR’s products are supplied exclusively through Dental Express (a trading division of Surgery Express LLP) in the UK.

CALCIVIS global launch

The CALCIVIS imaging system was unveiled in a global launch at this year’s BDIA Dental Showcase, with practitioners able to see the innovative system for themselves and learn more through a series of talks held throughout the event.

Lectures on the exclusive system – which uses bioluminescence to help identify early active demineralisation – were delivered by independent clinicians, who explained the benefits of CALCIVIS and how their preventive practice is set to improve as a result. The ‘demin-map’ that is produced using CALCIVIS’ unique dental biologic can be used to show patients where future problems could arise, helping engage patients in active preventive measures at a time when simple steps can be highly effective.

CALCIVIS offered the first 100 UK practices who committed to trying the system a VIP starter kit and induction training at a saving of more than 40%.
