The membrane of choice

“The creos xenoprotect collagen membrane from Nobel Biocare is my membrane of choice as it has improved handling compared with other membranes and is resorbable to allow ideal bone graft healing.” – Dr Will Carter from Queensway Dental Clinic in Teeside.

A resorbable, non-chemically cross-linked membrane designed for guided bone and tissue regeneration procedures, creos xenoprotect features a network of interwoven, highly purified porcine collagen and elastin fibers, offering high mechanical strength and flexibility.

Providing excellent handling properties, it can be cut and pre-shaped accordingly with less risk of major size increases when moistened. The membrane is also part of the creos family of products from Nobel Biocare, which also includes the creos xenogain bone substitute.

Dr Bastian Wessing, Germany, adds:
“We have better results with creos xenoprotect than with the membranes we have used before. What I like is that the handling is very easy. The mechanical stability is very high and when it is rehydrated it adapts very well to the underlying bone.”
To discover for yourself why creos xenoprotect is the membrane of choice for so many clinicians, try it today!

Achieving excellent primary stability

Vatche Kassardjian, Principal of Pond Square Dental Practice in London (www.pondsquaredental.co.uk), reflects on his previous year’s experience of the NobelActive implants from Nobel Biocare:

“I like these implants because they are very versatile and are available in an excellent range of sizes. I find them quick and very easy to place with the simple and intuitive surgical kit.

“They also achieve excellent primary stability and have provided good clinical outcomes.

“I think it is reassuring to use products that are supported by such extensive clinical research and study as those available from Nobel Biocare.”

NobelActive’s expanding tapered implant body condenses bone gradually while the apex with drilling blades enables a smaller osteotomy. These features facilitate high primary stability in even the most demanding of situations and enable immediate implant placement and immediate function. , , , ,

Offers More Than Magnification

The compact, high-performing Carl Zeiss OPMI® Pico dental operating microscope offers high quality visualisation for all uses – whether it is used for restorative dentistry, endodontics, implantology, periodontics or even check-ups.

Dr. Irene Kaimakamis, Principal Dentist at K Dental Studios in London, comments on the benefits of using the OPMI® Pico in the practice.

She says: “Although we mostly use the microscope for endodontics, myself and the team have also found it useful for other treatments such as post preparations and crown fits.

“As well as the quality magnification that the OPMI® Pico provides, the Varioskop® 100 objective lens – which allows us to adjust our focal length without leaving our working position – has been extremely valuable.

“Another benefit of using the OPMI® Pico is the real time HD integrated video camera, which is a great educational tool for both nurses and patients.

“As for the aftercare service, the team from Nuview were very helpful, friendly and always contactable. I would definitely recommend the OPMI® Pico and Nuview to other practices.”

Head and shoulders above the rest

“I am a firm believer that reputation and quality are integral to performance, so when the time came to purchase new loupes Carl Zeiss from Nuview were the obvious choice,” says Dr Andrew Chandrapal, immediate past president of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

“Needless to say I’ve not been disappointed by the exceptional quality of the optics in my EyeMag Pro loupes, which in my eyes cannot be matched by any competitor at this moment of time – they were worth every penny.”

Dr Chandrapal recently purchased the EyeMag Pro loupes with 4.5x magnification.

“There were a lot of options available, but having used high end loupes for over a decade my expectations were extremely high; particularly as I see loupes as an investment, not just a tool for use in daily practice.

“Together, with the support and knowledge from the Nuview team I am extremely pleased with my purchase, and would recommend to any practitioner in the market for quality loupes.”

Fantastic retention, comfort and fit

Dental technician, Matt Wilde, is experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of prosthetics. From Byrnes Dental Laboratory in Oxfordshire, Matt spoke about the benefits of using Ultaire™ AKP to fabricate RPD frames:

“I have now completed several cases with Ultaire™ AKP and it has been working really well. I recently made an RPD frame for a patient that is allergic to various metals and I thought it provided a great alternative. Dentists are very happy with the new material and the patient feedback has all been positive.

“The main advantage of creating RPD frames from Ultaire™ AKP is that the retention is fantastic. It is able to engage with more of the tooth surface, which helps it to stay in place and offers patients superior comfort and fit.

“Using Ultaire™ AKP means that I can retain maximum control, particularly for those challenging cases – I can design the frame myself at the computer, send images to the clinician and quickly make changes if needed.

”The online training provided by Solvay Dental 360™ was excellent and I also have access to a network of support and technical expertise if I need it.

“ I would definitely recommend other dental technicians to try Ultaire™ AKP.”

Stern Weber turns heads

The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust recently utilised the services of RPA Dental for the installation of two Stern Weber S380TRC dental units. Overseeing the project was Caroline Heath, the Trust’s Oral, Maxillofacial and Orthodontics Department Manager.

“We’ve been going to RPA Dental for several years now for servicing, so when the department got the all clear to purchase two brand new chairs I didn’t hesitate in contacting Pete Higson,” she explains.

“Indeed, the level of customer care and advice has always been exceptionally high, and Pete knows exactly what type of equipment we need in order to meet our patients’ needs, so it was a no brainer getting the team in to complete this project.

“As for the chairs, we’ve all been extremely impressed with their performance. From an ergonomic and safety perspective, they’ve been invaluable to the team, as the synchronised backrest and leg rest movements have helped to minimise manual handling during the transfer of patients. This, in turn, has helped to create a much more functional and accessible environment for our patients as well as maximise the available space. Now I just need to secure funding for three more Stern Weber S380TRC chairs!”
