November 2013 New Products
Flexitime Fast & Scan
Heraeus Kulzer's new Flexitime Fast & Scan is a scanable impression material that makes powder-free scanning possible. This makes CAD/CAM restorations more affordably accessible without making it necessary to change normal impression processes or to invest in expensive hardware and software. Directly scanning impressions saves time, reduces rate of inaccuracy, and makes workflow integration more seamless.

Q Brush
Boasting itself to be the "most advanced interproximal brush on the market," Q Brush is available in eight sizes and two handle styles. These options make it possible to reach all areas of the mouth while avoiding putting a bend in the stiff, plastic coated wire covered with its high grade nylon filaments. Q Brush is gentle enough to be used in perio pockets and around implants and bridges without causing damage. Its design allows it to reach around bonded orthodontic brackets and archwires, and under permanent retainers as well. Daily use reduces plaque on healthy and inflamed gingiva alike.
