The MAP System: A solution for precise and predictable MTA placement

VEVEY, Switzerland: The Micro-Apical Placement (MAP) System, from Swiss endodontic company PD, provides a unique and efficient method for precisely placing endodontic filling materials with either orthograde or retrograde approaches. The company considers it to be the product of choice for perforation, root end filling, pulp capping and retrograde obturation therapies. The NiTi shape memory needles can, furthermore, be manually shaped to any required curvature and adjust easily to the shape of the root canal for effective placement of repairing materials.

The MAP System is available in several different kits and consists of a high-quality Swiss stainless-steel syringe with a bayonet catch designed for a large range of exchangeable application needles. The Classic single-angle needles are designed for precise non-surgical endodontic procedures, and the Surgery triple-angle needles are best suited for surgical endodontic procedures. The NiTi shape memory needles are, by design, universal and ideal for both orthograde and retrograde therapies. The plungers are reusable and made of medical-grade polyoxymethylene. Any residual material left inside the needles can easily be removed with NiTi cleaning curettes.

When used in combination with PD MTA White, the exclusive mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cement that has been developed to be placed with the MAP System, dental professionals have the perfect, simplest and most durable solution for successful and predictable endodontic therapies.

IrriFlex—endodontic irrigation needle for better results

May 29, 2020 | Events, Interviews, News

VEVEY, Switzerland: Root canal preparation is an essential step in endodontic treatment and aimed at removing the current content of the root canal and preparing it for filling. The objective is to prevent the onset or recurrence of apical periodontitis. The use of rotary instruments with continuous rotation has made treatments faster, more comfortable and more predictable over the past 20 years. Many developments in instrumentation have helped improve preparation systems. But despite all these advances, the complexity of root canal systems results in unprepared or unpreparable areas that require the complementary use of chemicals for cleaning.

EssenSeal: R & D path to a new product

April 17, 2020 | Events, Interviews, News

The development of a new product requires drive, curiosity and the ability to be open-minded in order to dig deeper and to pursue the information necessary to bring the product to life. The process can take several years, depending on its complexity, and the flexibility and responsiveness of the team involved make all the difference—like in the case of EssenSeal, a new-generation zinc oxide eugenol sealer featuring tea-tree essential oil launched by Produits Dentaires (PD) in 2019. In this interview, David Brendlen, the biomaterials engineer in charge of the R & D team, and Baptiste Reuse, R & D project manager at Produits Dentaires, explain the research, development and production process they followed for EssenSeal.

Wie bekomme ich den Wurzelkanal sauber?

Prof. Matthias Zehnder

Wie bekomme ich den Wurzelkanal sauber?

Ist die Zahnpulpa irreversibel entzündet oder bereits infiziert und nekrotisch, muss sie entfernt oder ersetzt werden. In jedem Fall muss das betroffene Weichgewebe sowie vorhandener Biofilm entfernt werden, wobei dem Zahnarzt neben physikalischen Mittel auch Chemikalien zur Verfügung stehen. In diesem Webinar präsentiert ein Experte, wie Wurzelkanäle idealerweise gereinigt werden. Im speziellen wird der Referent dabei auf Besonderheiten aktueller Fälle sowie die Makro- und Mikroanatomie der zu behandelnden Zähne eingehen.
