Disinfectant wipes are essential for maintaining a clean environment, but their effectiveness depends on staying wet for the full contact time listed on the label. Factors like wipe material, solution evaporation, and environmental conditions all impact how well a wipe performs. In our latest study, we evaluated multiple brands to determine surface wetness duration and coverage per wipe. SciCan’s OPTIM OS1 outperformed competitors, maintaining the required wetness across three quadrants. ??

CAD/CAM technology continues to revolutionize restorative dentistry. With improved materials, faster workflows, and the ability to renew restorations, Ceramir? CAD/CAM BLOCKS from Directa AB are making it easier to achieve true restorations that restore both form and function. Utilizing patented laser sintering technology, these blocks polish to a high-gloss finish and offer impressive translucency, allowing them to blend seamlessly with natural tooth structure. The results are restorations that rival the aesthetics of lithium disilicate and zirconia, while enhancing both function and durability. ??

“Very strong and durable material. In posterior locations where esthetics are less important, this block worked beautifully.” - Evaluator comment CEREC MTL Zirconia Blocks from Dentsply Sirona are partially sintered zirconia blocks that are then milled and fully sintered to give flexural strengths over 850 MPa. They are available in 11 shades in both mono and medi blocks, indicated for crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers. With the ability to prep as thin as 0.6 mm—reducing tooth reduction by up to 40%—they offer a more conservative approach.

Attending the Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting? Join Dr. Adam Hodges, one of our Clinical Ambassadors, on Friday for his hands-on session, "Digitally-Designed Anterior Composites Simplified: A Hands-On Experience." Anterior composite treatments, such as diastema closure and veneers, can be challenging for clinicians. While conservative treatments offer great value, the skill and time involved often make them seem daunting. But with the power of digital technology, the workflow becomes simpler and outcomes more predictable! Don’t miss the chance to explore custom printed matrices and create a more efficient and predictable workflow for these treatments. #Hinman2025 #DigitalDentistry #AnteriorComposites #HandsOnExperience #ClinicalAmbassador #ConservativeDentistry #DentalInnovation
