GENERAL DENTAL NEEDS

Minidam-Quick, easy and comfortable for the patient.

Protecting the gingiva and maintaining a dry field can mean the difference between a successful procedure and a costly do-over.

MiniDam from DMG America is a new, latex-free gingival protection device that goes on quickly and holds on securely. Once placed, it protects the proximal area during treatment, and provides comfortable gingival coverage for patients. The unique shape of the MiniDam allows it to self stabilize around adjacent teeth, where it securely maintains its position without the use of clamps.

The clinician simply pre-stretches the silicone material, which already has holes integrated into it and then pulls it over the teeth to be treated. This provides a relatively dry working area, unlimited access and an unobstructed view of the working area. Dental Milestones Guaranteed.

Quick Protection – Where it’s needed.

Angelus Interlig - Braided glass fiber

Braided glass fiber impregnated with light-cured composite resin used in Splinting in periodontics, Splinting of traumatized teeth, Fabrication of adhesive direct temporary prostheses. Reinforcement of large restorations.

Interlig is a reinforced composite material with glass fibers, for use in the clinic, with a range of applications: temporary periodontal or orthodontic immobilization, for emergency treatment of teeth lost due to periodontitis, pre-surgical splinting, for the reinforcement structure of fixed prosthesis, either mediate or immediate, for making intraradicular cores, for space retaining in primary or permanent dentition, for reinforcement of acrylic structure (provisional, total prostheses), for reinforcement of large restorations of composite resin. Interlig glass fibers are intertwined, which facilitates the use by the dentist. Their maleability is superior than that of the polyethylene fibers.

Interlig can be cut with any cutting instrument, and does not require special equipment. The glass fibers are impregnated with light-cured composite resin, and for this reason, no other type of adhesive or resin is needed to impregnate them.

Pre-impregnation facilitates handling and improves bonding between the glass fibers and the composite resin. The fibers are pre-impregnated with an unfilled resin matrix, using an immersion process with controlled time and temperature, in order to guarantee complete absorption and, consequently, guaranteeing the better mechanical performance of the product.

Aesthetics

The translucency of Interlig fibers and of the resin matrix provides high aesthetic resolution

Strength

The structural composition of Interlig® fibers and their preparation for dental use ensure their high resistance to bending, ensuring their indication for a wide range of clinical situations

Versatility of use

Interlig width can be adapted for use in various clinical activities

Excellent bonding to composite resin

The pretreatment of the Interlig fibers allows for perfect adhesion to resins in use in the clinic

Convenience of use

does not require special tools for cutting and comes already impregnated with resin

Reversible and minimally invasive technique

due to its adhesion to the adhesive and resin systems, work done with Interlig does not require invasion of the tooth structure

Time-saving

work with Interlig can be performed directly in the mouth, allowing for its completion in one session

Low cost

Compared to traditional techniques, using Interlig® allows you to perform more attractive and durable work, with a better cost-benefit ratio

Riva Star- Two step patented SDF system

• Biofilm + sensitivity eliminator
• A STAR product containing three powerful components:

                 SILVER    IODIDE   FLOURIDE

• Caries arrest increased dramatically after re-application of 38% SDF from 1 year post treatment to 1.5 years and increasingly to 2-3 years

Why SDF use is growing around the world

• SDF has a proven clinical history of arresting caries and treating dentine hypersensitivity for over 50 years.
• Studies continue to confirm that a 38% SDF solution1 can arrest dental caries by minimising the loss of minerals and collagen destruction. Furthermore, the high concentration of silver and fluoride ions inhibits the growth of cariogenic biofilms.

How does SDF work?

AS CARIES INHIBITOR SDF + KI provides the following three active components to caries affected sites :

SILVER -  Silver compounds are used as an anti microbial agent in dentistry for more than a century.

FLUORIDE -  Works as a bacteriostatic effect to prevent the further demineralisation of tooth structure.

IODIDE - Potassium Iodide used in conjunction with SDF provides a powerful antimicrobial effect as well as reducing potential staining of teeth

SDF treatment is quicker and easier compared to invasive treatment methods.

• SDF treatment delivers Minimal Intervention Dentistry that adopts the philosophy of integrating prevention, remineralisation and less invasive procedures. 

SDF: A proven clinical history of arresting caries clinical study examples  

Clinical Study Examples

• The use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in dental practice, 2020. N. Sefio, M. Robertson, J. MacLean, K. Blain, S. Grosse, R. Milne, C. Seeballuck and N. Innes.
• Clinical summary : Uses of Silver Diammine Fluoride(SDF) - Ngo Hien
• Use of Silver Diamine Fluoride for dental caries management in children and adolescents, including those with special health care needs : 2017 – American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry

• Stabilisation/arrest of caries into dentine in deciduous teeth e.g may avoid the need for hospital admission (GA/Sedation)
• Stabilisation/arrest of caries in elderly patients e.g root caries
• Quick and easy application makes it useful for patients who are: vulnerable, uncooperative, have behavioural problems and those with limited access to conventional dental treatment
• Relief of symptoms from carious cavities (especially occlusal lesions)
• Immediate relief of dentine hypersensitivity (Silver iodide blocks dentine tubules and has low solubility) e.g cervical abrasion cavities
• Inexpensive and obviates the need for local anaesthesia
• Promotes minimally invasive cavity preparation (eliminating the need for extensive caries excavation)
• Minimises the need for aerosol generating procedures
• Acclimatisation to dental treatment and stabilisation of multiple lesions
• Remineralisation of incipient carious lesions (2-3 times more fluoride concentration than sodium fluoride varnish)
• Endodontic irrigation and inter-appointment medicament

Benefits

1.  A PROVEN SDF SOLUTION

• Clinical studies have shown that a 38% SDF solution can successfully arrest caries. Riva Star SDF solution contains 38% Silver Fluoride.

2. IMMEDIATE SENSITIVITY RELIEF

• The silver fluoride and potassium iodide in Riva Star blocks the microscopic tubules that make up dentine. A low-solubility precipitate is formed that gives instant relief.

3. TWO YEARS DESENSITISING EFFECT

• A clinical study supports the immediate effect after one application with Riva Star, desensitisation lasts for 2 years.

4. EFFECTIVE BIOFILM INHIBITOR

• Studies support that Riva Star is an effective Biofilm inhibitor. Riva Star has higher inhibition zones against four bacterial species (E.faecalis, S.gordonni, S.mutans, S.mitis) compared to sodium hypochlorite.

No staining

As proven in clinical studies, Riva Star Tooth Desensitising Agent leaves no stains post procedure and ensures full patient satisfaction.

Releases fluoride

• Conseal F combines the proven SDI sealant technology with an intensive initial fluoride boost in conjunction with long term fluoride treatment
  
  
• The unique Conseal f filler component, with its blend of particles and high surface-to-area volume ratios, enables high fluoride release. Fluoride enhances caries prevention, remineralization, and the inhibition of enamel demineralization.

Lowest viscosity

• Conseal F comes to you as the lowest viscosity fissure sealant on the market. The low viscosity allows our sealant to flow faster and deeper into the prepared pits and fissures.

• Conseal F’s fissure sealant has a tighter seal which optimizes the mechanical retention and eliminates any space for bacterial growth. Conseal f’s tight seal is further enhanced by its unique UDMA resin system’s lower shrinkage and by being BIS-GMA free.
  

Deepest penetration

•  Conseal F fissure sealant come equipped with pre-bent, superfine dispensing tips which help in speeding up the procedures via facilitated control and direct excursion. This also helps reach difficult areas for direct dispensing.
  
  
  Our Conseal F nozzle one third the size of other Dental brands, enhances complete sealing and retention by allowing penetration into the deepest pits and fissures; crevasses that will not admit the dispensing tips of other materials.

Hygienic placement

• Conseal f completely eliminates the risk of cross contamination by offering a direct and hygienic way of dispensing the sealant.

Bio compatible

• Conseal f’s low water solubility minimizes breakdown of the sealant in the oral environment. It is essential for any sealant to be averse to water solubility, and minimize breakdowns in the oral environment. 

Tip Size

• Conseal f syringe come with 27 gauge tip.

• Conseal f’s syringe tip diameter opening is only 0.41mm, significantly smaller than the alternatives of 1.5mm or 1.3mm
