Fill-Up! A new ally in fast posterior and high quality restorations.

Fill-Up!

A new ally in fast posterior and high quality restorations.

DR. FERNANDO GRANDÓN VILLEGAS DDS, MS, CHILE

The advent of adhesive dentistry and development of the latest generation composite resins have transformed the way to deal with restorative treatments for back teeth. Recent evidence highlights success rates of 82% to 90% after 10 years, comparable in terms of longevity to amalgam restorations. However, it is sensitive technique and entails performing a large number of steps. Against this backdrop, the development of photoreactive bulk-fill composites is an interesting way to make the process easier.

Larger increments are possible with low volumetric contraction and low polymerisation stress. One point still to be resolved is the excess translucency needed to facilitate the passage of light in increases of up to 5 mm, which is limiting when masking discoloured substrates. This makes these photoreactive bulk-fill composites highly dependent on the light curing device to guarantee a suitable degree of conversion. We are therefore pleased with the development of this new bulk-fill composite with flowable consistency, dual cure, simple dispensing and major adaptability, which solves the aforementioned problems.

Building a Future-Proof Dental Practice: Which Tech Investments Actually Pay Off
Every dental conference has a show floor full of technology that promises to transform your practice. Scanners, printers, AI platforms, imaging systems, lasers, practice management software, patient communication tools   each one pitched as the thing that separates a thriving modern practice from one that’s falling behind.

Clinical Case Study: Root canal re-treatment success with BioRoot Flow

Clinical Case Study: Root canal re-treatment success with BioRoot Flow
CLINICAL CASE I By Dr. Lauren Kuhn Nuth. The success rate of non-surgical root canal treatment is high, however, inadequate obturation and inability to seal anatomical complexities can play a role in the long-term success of endodontic treatment. Traditional root canal sealers tend to shrink or wash-out—BioRoot™ Flow is a mineralbased, tricalcium silicate sealer with bioactive properties which slightly expands upon setting and has a high pH, therefore providing antimicrobial
properties.

The Menopause Symptom No One Talks About

The Menopause Symptom No One Talks About
An interview with Ms. Tatiana Brandt, MEd, RDH, Denmark. Menopause comes with a long list of symptoms most people can recite by heart – hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings. But there’s another change that often slips under the radar, even though it affects daily comfort, oral health, and overall wellbeing. Dry mouth, a surprisingly common yet rarely discussed symptom, can quietly reshape how women experience this stage of life.

Topical Fluoride Treatments – What do you prioritise?

Topical Fluoride Treatments – What do you prioritise?
Article by Stephen Langdon, Solventum Clinical Specialist. The first rosin based fluoride varnish was introduced way back in  the 1960’s and apart from the more recent inclusion of various forms  of calcium and phosphate in 2 or 3 commercially available varnish  options and a change to unit dose packaging, there has been very  little advancement in fluoride treatment technology for many years.
