G-Force diamond cuts faster with better margin

Click here to enlarge image

Garrison Dental Solutions has added a new shape to the G-Force rotary instrument line. The GRT060 (U.S. reference #789.7, European reference #856-024) is a large-diameter, round-end taper designed specifically for rapid buccal and lingual axial gross reduction. The large diameter maximizes the rotational speed of the abrasive head as it contacts tooth structure. In addition, the larger diameter reduces the “J” shaped margin that is common with smaller-diameter round-end tapers. The GRT060 incorporates Garrison’s unique diamond spacing and braising technology that allows more of the diamond crystals to contact tooth structure and share in the cutting burden. These features, combined with uniformly sized manufactured crystals, result in a bur that cuts faster and lasts longer.

The GRT060, along with the 22 other shapes in the G-Force line, is available in a five pack and comes with a money-back guarantee. Call (888) 437-0032 or visit www.garrisondental.com for more details.

Paperless Technologies introduces PT Dental

Click here to enlarge image

PT Dental was designed to work in conjunction with practice-management programs to create a truly paperless dental practice. PT Dental allows patients to fill out all of their consent forms and health-related questionnaires online or in a dental practice using a 2100s tablet PC. Once these forms have been completed and signed, PT Dental uses its patented USI (User Simulated Input) technology to automatically place a patient’s demographic, insurance, employer, and other information into the practice-management program without the use of human hands. The completed documents can be accessed from any computer in the office or remotely. PT Dental also is equipped with an automated fingerprint-scanning check-in for patients that recognizes them, alerts office staff, and places them into a time-tracking patient queue. PT Dental allows any paper form to become an electronic customized clinical form. These forms are designed to replace all the paper forms used in the clinical areas and can be written on just like pen and paper.
