GET TWISTED with SybronEndo’s Twisted Files!

In speaking of Twisted Files, Richard E. Mounce, DDS of Vancouver, Washington says,“TF allows preparation for many canals with one, two, or three files. The clinician can efficiently and safely use TF with confidence. TF is a revelation.”

TF (Twisted Files) are twisted, not ground.  Other Nickel Titanium Files are made by grinding the flutes which weakens the metals molecular structure.  SybronEndo’s Twisted Files allow you to work in difficult situations safer, faster, and with a stronger file.  This unique manufacturing process produces a file with optimal sharpness and flexibility.

Some of the benefits of the Twisted Files include the ability to complete cases using three files or less, the ability to use in any canal anatomy, reduction in treatment time, simplicity, and exceptional cutting strength.

Design features include twisted design, not ground, safe-ended tip, one-piece design, and color-coding.
TF is up to 70% more flexible than traditional NiTi / Nickel Titanium files.  Twisted Files can withstand more torque than files made using traditional manufacturing processes.  In laboratory stress tests, Sybron Endo’s Twisted Files demonstrates superior flexibility and resistance to breakage.  These differences translate to better clinical performance.

“Just in chair time saved alone by going with one or two files, it saves me a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes per patient,” says Thomas Jovicich, DMD.

TF will help you in achieving your goal of saving natural dentition, alleviating your patients’ pain and dental trauma.

GC America’s EXA’lence Impression Material Receives 4 Stars from Dental Advisor

EXA’lence VPES Impression Material combines the best features of both VPS and Polyether Materials. Chicago, IL dentist, Dr. Lawrence Kolar says,”EXA’lence provided better flow, better handling, and better crown margins. The margin integrity was distinctly superior in a side-by-side comparison to Aquasil with B4.”

EXA’lence provides superior flow. Its pre-set hydrophilic nature allows for high flow into the sulcus. The tear strength with this product is excellent which reduces the number of retakes.

In a recent study, 81% of the dentists that were evaluating the product said that they would be using EXA’lence in their practice for future impression needs. 70% of those evaluators also noticed the superior hydrophilicity which relates to many other issues such as fins, bubbles, and voids.

Dr. Richard Brown of Tulsa, OK says,”I have been very impressed with the handling of this material. The detail in the occlusal surfaces and in the crevicular area appears clinically to be excellent. Our laboratory restorations have been outstanding and without defect. I would say this material has the potential to change the market by

advancing the science of dental impression materials.”
