The universal trend in dentistry Technological progress has enabled the development of products with a wide range of applications, as well as resulting in simplified procedures. These products offer multiple benefits for the user; less laborious procedures come to mind, not to mention fewer steps and faster processing. The direct result is a reduced potential for the sort of procedural mistakes that can lead to serious consequences. As for stock levels, far fewer products are now required to achieve the envisaged end result. This means that the risk of stored products exceeding their best-before dates is greatly reduced, leading to cost savings as well as contributing to shrinking the waste mountain. Under the umbrella name Universal Excellence, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc's product range includes a well-balanced selection of universal bonding and cementing products, making it possible for dentists to perform a wide range of treatments with only a limited product range. CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick is the basis for adhesive treatments; a one-step universal bonding that can be used, at the dentist's discretion, as a self-etching or fully-etched bonding option or as a combination of selective enamel etching. Rapid Bond Technology is used for this bonding, which also contains fluoride. This technological development makes it possible to realise maximum penetration in tooth tissue, followed by hydrophobic sealing after light-curing. The original MDP monomer constitutes the backbone of CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick, as it does in our other bonding systems. The recently introduced CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal composite is truly a game changer. This material is universal both in terms of indication spectrum and colour adaptation. CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal may not be the only composite in this relatively new segment, but it is by far the most forgiving. This is due to the meticulously calculated amount of refractory fillers, or so-called light diffusion fillers, in a composite of optimum translucency. The composite blends effortlessly with the colour of the teeth without the need for additional opaque composites in small or large anterior or posterior restorations. CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow is a flowable composite available in three levels of flowability. This flowable integrates seamlessly with the Universal Excellence concept, thanks to its wide range of indications. The unparalleled Kuraray silane technology and the specific resin used provide that CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow is not only flowable, but also strong; in fact, this flowable is actually stronger than most paste composites. It is also a genuine pleasure to work with. Unlike other flowables, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow can be applied and manipulated easily because it does not stick to the application needle or instrument. Wouldn’t it be good to have adhesive resin cements without the need for additional primers? This is now possible with PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal. Only one product needed to bond to tooth tissue and to most prosthetic materials. It will even bond to glass-based ceramics such as lithium disilicate without the use of a separate silane primer. That is because – in addition to MDP – PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal includes the unique, long carbon chain silane (LCSi) also used in CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow. How universal can a product be? Finally, we would like to highlight KATANA™ Cleaner, a universal cleaning agent for both intra-oral and extra-oral use. Clean, decontaminated surfaces are the most effective basis for adhesive procedures, and because KATANA™ Cleaner is based on MDP, it is also fully compatible with our bonding and adhesive/cementing products. You can rely on Universal Excellence both in terms of providing the very best treatments in your practice, and to avoid the holding of unnecessary stock and the risk of being confronted with unused products that have exceeded their best-before date. 13. juli 2021 About the Author Peter Schouten PANAVIA SA Cement Universal Se produktet CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Se produktet KATANA Cleaner Se produktet CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal Se produktet Abonner på vårt nyhetsbrev Gjør som tusenvis av andre som arbeider med tannhelse og motta gratis informasjon som kan hjelpe deg i din karriere.
