Click here to enlarge imageVeladerm™ lotionVeladerm™ Professional Handwash Lotion, available from LavaDerma Professional Skin Care, cleans and keeps the skin healthy. Veladerm™ is unique in that urea is the active cleaning agent rather than detergents, which most skin cleansers utilize. Urea is said to clean without destroying the skin's protective lipid layer, which when destroyed by detergents, results in dry skin, making the skin more vulnerable to microorganisms and toxins. It has antimicrobial activity to protect both the doctor and the patient. It is used similar to a liquid soap. Moisten your hands, dispense one or two strokes of handwash lotion into the palm, distribute over both hands, rinse off with water. If you dry your hands well, the resulting smoothness of the skin facilitates the subsequent gloving.

The increased surface area of the balled tip provides a greater margin of safety against perforation of the pulpal floor while cutting a wider path in the search for canal orifices.AMD offers include free adapters so these tips can be used with any Piezo scaler, not just AMD's PowerPiezo™ Ultrasonic Scaler. The tip is highly effective in removing chamber-accessible silver points. When the tip is placed against the silver point, its vibrations cause the point to expand and contract, breaking any cement interface. For more information, contact your local dealer or call AMD.
