Rotary Nickel Titanium Endodontic Files A number of instrumentation methods are available for the shaping and cleaning of root canals during endodontic therapy. These include the use of hand instruments, rotary stainless steel instruments, rotary nickel titanium instruments, and sonic and ultrasonic instrumentation. Until recently, all except one (LightSpeed) have been manufactured by grinding. The newest introduction is a rotary nickel titanium file that is manufactured by twisting rather than grinding, offering different physical properties as a result.

Scaling up Productivity
The appropriate selection and adoption of new technologies has been shown to offer clinicians the ability to increase productivity and production, thereby helping to meet the financial objectives of the dental office. At the same time, such technologies should offer equal or improved clinical outcomes, patient comfort, and ease of use. Increasing productivity can be achieved by various technologies. The use of locally applied noninjectable anesthetic gel reduces the time required for procedures and can reduce the number of visits required to complete treatment; a second example of technology that operates through these two mechanisms is the endodontic rotary NiTi file. In addition to these two mechanisms, the noninjectable anesthetic gel enables complete delegation of a step in a procedure - all three mechanisms enable increases in productivity and profitability for the office. Further important considerations in the selection of new technology include patient preference and comfort, and the likelihood of treatment being accepted and completed - which in combination can result in improved clinical outcomes, enabling clinicians to meet both clinical and financial objectives.

Toughness of Different VPS Impression Materials The clinical success of a precision impression material strongly depends on good mechanical properties of the elastomer during removal of the set impression from a patient?s mouth. A high tear resistance of the set impression material is advantageous to withstand tearing in thin interproximal areas and in the depth of the gingival sulcus and can be described by the force and the elongation which occur when the material is torn apart. This study compared the maximum force, the maximum elongation and the integral under the stress strain-curve of different VPS Wash impression materials in a tear experiment. (Oct 4, 2006, 3M ESPE) |

Hydrophilicity of Fast Setting VPS Precision Impression Materials Hydrophilicity of precision impression materials is considered one of the most important features for clinical success. Recently, new super-hydrophilic VPS impression materials have been introduced to the market. This study aims to investigate the initial hydrophilicity of five fast set light viscosity materials in the set and, especially, the unset stage, as good performance of an impression material in both phases is necessary for the success of an indirect restoration.

Elastic Recovery after Elongation of VPS Impression Materials Good elastic recovery after deformation is a prerequisite for the clinical success of any precision impression material. Due to the high clinical relevance of this parameter, elastic recovery and compression set are part of ISO and ADA Standards for Elastomeric Dental Impression Materials. In these standard measurements recovery is investigated after a compressive distortion. There is a lack of data regarding elastic recovery behavior of impression materials after elongation instead of compression. The goal of this study was to compare the elastic recovery of different VPS wash impression materials after elongation. Elastic recovery was determined by a measurement of the corresponding permanent deformation. (Oct 4, 2006, 3M ESPE) |
