Quik Assist cotton-roll holder
Radix Corporation announces the release of Quik Assist, a newly designed cotton-roll holder that has a compact design which provides excellent access and visibility in the oral cavity while providing superior fluid control for hygienists and doctor's procedures.
Quik Assist's high quality stainless-steel design is autoclavable and durable for years of repeated use. It is easy to place and remove with standard spreading forceps, which are part of every dentist's armamentarium. It accommodates standard cotton rolls. Quik Assist's design provides a high level of stability in the mouth and it is designed to accommodate most anatomical variations of molar teeth. Its symmetrical design allows it to be used on both the left and right sides of the mandible and it also has some uses in the maxillary posterior quadrants.

Centric Tray
Complicated, time-consuming materials and techniques have been used often to determine a patient's final bite registration. Centric Tray from Ivoclar provides an easy and effective solution for taking a preliminary bite registration which will enhance this process.
The patient simply bites down into a putty-loaded Centric Tray to form an inter-arch relationship. This is then sent to the laboratory to accurately fabricate occlusal rims. Chairside adjustment time is greatly reduced due to the accuracy of the wax rims, when tried intraorally.
Centric Tray is used to produce removable partial and complete dental prosthetics. It also can be used in dental implantology where the masticatory parameters must be observed particularly close.

Interval II temporary filling
Temrex Corporation has created Interval II, a premixed, ready-to-use temporary-filling material that promises reliability for the dentist and comfort for patients.
Packaged in an economical 38 gm jar, Interval II is an easy, convenient, and reliable material for restoring vital and nonvital teeth. It sets quickly in the mouth, even when wet with saliva; adheres well to dentinal walls, and creates a restoration that does not disintegrate.
Interval II can quickly temporize teeth, saving the clinician precious operating time. Dentists also appreciate the off-white color, which blends in with dentition much more attractively than pink materials do.
Patient satisfaction and comfort are important factors of Interval II. The material is designed to keep your patients comfortable between appointments. A careful combination of zinc oxide, calcium sulfate, plasticizers, and potassium sulfate assure that the product is gentle to vital tooth tissue.

Emergency Monitor Alert System
The FM-Series handheld Paging Transmitter can increase any operation's efficiency and provide a level of security previously unavailable. The transmitters are small enough to be handheld and light enough to be wall- or chair-mounted. Each button on the transmitter can be programmed with individual messages. Uses include having the hygienist page the doctor when she's ready for a patient check. A patient or an assistant could page the doctor if the patient is not feeling well. The messages are sent directly to the pocket pager. The pager displays which panic button was activated and what service is required.
There is no monthly service fee; no installation; EMAS is delivered ready to work.
