“Using Ultaire™ AKP to create removable partial denture (RPD) frames makes a lot of sense and we are huge fans of this new material.” said Karl Jensen, laboratory manager at Wessex Dental.

“Ultaire™ AKP saves time from start to finish – from the first impressions to the fitting and I am pleased to say that the feedback from dentists has been great.

“The demand for metal-free solutions is growing and when you explain the advantages of Ultaire™ AKP in terms of flexibility, comfort and strength the majority of patients choose to go metal-free.

“From a technical point of view, the speed of designing, fabricating and finishing these RPDs is remarkable. Ultaire™ AKP needs minor finishing time, it is easy to trim and it is easy for a dentist to adjust because it is not as rigid as chrome and metal. The material is also much cleaner to work with and it is definitely user-friendly.

“Solvay Dental 360™ has produced a revolutionary, metal-free option that allows laboratories streamline and expand their services to offer additional benefits to clinicians and patients.”

You know it makes sense – contact Solvay Dental 360™ today.

For the last two years, Deborah Lynne Jefferson has been working for Rodericks Dental as Practice Manager of Burnham House Dental Practice. It’s a role, she says, that may not have been possible without Rodericks.

“Before Rodericks acquired the practice, I was employed as a dental nurse. It was only after the group came in to the equation that I was promoted to Practice Manager, and I haven’t looked back since.

“Though I had my initial reservations, I can safely say that the training is much better with Rodericks, there’s far more support available, and the managerial hierarchy is considerably better organised – not just at board level but on the ground within the practices too. It’s not generic like some corporate practices either. The internal policies and procedures may have changed – for the better might I add – but the atmosphere is still very much the same as before for our patients.

“The actual four-month transition period went extremely smoothly for my team and I as well. Right from the very beginning it was very clear that the group genuinely cares about its staff as well as its patients.

“As such, I would advise any practice currently undergoing an acquisition by Rodericks not to worry, because you’re in good hands.”

Over the past 17 years, Nobel Biocare’s TiUnite implant surface has proven highly successful.

Setting the scientific standard for supporting evidence, TiUnite has been evaluated in more than 465 publications, featuring over 89,500 implants in more than 22,600 patients, with the longest mean follow up of 11.2 years.

It has also been the subject of the largest ever meta-analysis of a single implant brand, which confirmed that implants with a TiUnite surface:

• Show remarkably low early failure rates and support long-term clinical survival
• Deliver early implant- and patient-level survival rates that exceed 99% at one year, and late implant-level survival rate at an estimated 95.1% after 10 years

The TiUnite implant surface has also been associated with a low prevalence of peri-implantitis,ii, excellent bone maintenance over 8.5 years for implants in direct contact with soft tissue, and stable bone levels over 10 years.

To find out more about the benefits of TiUnite and the extensive clinical research supporting the implant surface, contact Nobel Biocare today.

“With no other procedure that I offer is the increase in quality of life as apparent as with the All-on-4® treatment concept. Patients enter my practice with misfitting and often painful removable dentures and leave the same day with a fixed implant-based provisional restoration that looks and feels like a full set of natural teeth.” – Dr Enrico Agliardi, Italy

The All-on-4® treatment concept from Nobel Biocare provides a clinically proven solution to improve patients’ quality of life. An effective alternative to dentures, the concept enables patients to once again eat and speak normally, while also ensuring natural-looking esthetics and improved self-esteem. ,

In suitable cases, it enables Immediate Function for a quick procedure. It also helps to avoid bone grafting as the tilted posterior implants allow full utilization of the existing bone, further promoting patient comfort.
