Media Releases 2009
Implant Care Program
Ivoclar Vivadent presents Implant Care, a product program for the professional care of patients during the various implant treatment phases and throughout the rest of their lives. This program allows dentists to meet the requirements posed by complex restoration structures and the patient’s individual intraoral situation.
Programat S1
Light-weight and compact: This is how the new sintering furnace Programat S1 from Ivoclar Vivadent presents itself. Its major advantage lies in the short sintering period, which not only reduces the manufacturing time of zirconium oxide restorations but also saves energy.
OptraDam Plus
The dentist can ensure complete isolation of the working field in the oral cavity of the patient by means of OptraDam Plus from Ivoclar Vivadent. The addition "Plus" indicates that the material properties have been optimized and the patient comfort improved.
IPS e.max Lithium Disilicate Material: study results
Researchers in the Department of Biomaterials and Biomimetics at New York University College of Dentistry (NYU) recently determined through mechanical mouth-motion simulator testing that IPS e.max CAD lithium disilicate ceramic is the most robust all-ceramic material tested to date.
Prevention of white spot lesions: study results
Two varnishes, one containing chlorhexidine and the other fluoride, from Ivoclar Vivadent effectively help to prevent the formation of new white spot lesions if used in combination; these are the findings of a recent clinical study at the University of Bern.
Proxyt-Prophy pastes
Systematic professional cleaning and polishing of teeth, restorations and implants constitute a basic measure in the prevention of caries as well as periodontal and peri-implant diseases. The Proxyt prophylaxis paste system allows dental professionals to treat their patients according to their individual needs.
Colado CC
The new Colado CC cobalt-chromium alloy is an economical alternative to precious metal alloys. It is also characterized by its particularly user-friendly properties. Colado CC is a precious metal-free cobalt-chromium alloy especially suitable for ceramic and composite veneers.
Bluephase 20i and C8
Ivoclar Vivadent introduces Bluephase 20i and Bluephase C8, two new versions of the classic Bluephase polymerization light. All three lights are based on the same technology offering a halogen-like broadband range – due to the "polywave LED".
AdheSE One F
Because of its new design, the VivaPen from Ivoclar Vivadent is now even easier to manipulate and enables the fluoride-releasing adhesive AdheSE One F to be applied very sparingly.
IPS Empress Direct
IPS Empress Direct offers the esthetics of a ceramic combined with the convenience of a composite – due to a wide range of shades, various levels of translucency and good processing properties.
Programat P700: the second generation
The second generation of the Programat P700 offers a whole range of new features. These include the CSP function (Cooling Shock Protection), an energy saving mode (Power Saving Technology), an optimized user interface as well as a voice output device.
Monobond Plus
With Monobond Plus, Ivoclar Vivadent is pleased to announce the launch of a universal primer that helps establish a reliable bond to all restorative materials. Monobond Plus meets a requirement that is essential for dental professionals: ease of use.
IPS e.max ZirCAD Blocks in size C13
The high-strength zirconium oxide material IPS e.max ZirCAD is available in block size C13 effective immediately. This size is particularly advantageous for milling small single-tooth copings.
IPS e.max Press HT and CAD HT
The new, highly translucent lithium disilicate ceramics IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD complete the IPS e.max product range. The IPS e.max system thus covers all indications in all-ceramics. The IPS e.max system developed by Ivoclar Vivadent has been complemented with the lithium disilicate ceramics IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD in the new high translucency level (HT).
IPS e.max System with an extended shade range
With immediate effect, the lithium disilicate ceramics and the press-on ceramic of the IPS e.max System are available in 20 different shades. This makes shade selection a walk in the park, even when fabricating very demanding restorations. The shade range of the lithium disilicate ceramics that form part of the IPS e.max System has been extended from 13 to 20 shades.
Multilink Implant
Multilink Implant is a self-/dual-curing, two-component luting composite which permanently and adhesively bonds restorations to implant abutments. The material’s very low solubility in water and its high mechanical strength enable it to establish a durable bond between the restoration and the abutment.
SR Phonares tooth lines
When it comes to creating aesthetic dentures, there is no way around using the new Phonares denture teeth from Ivoclar Vivadent. With the SR Phonares NHC anterior tooth line and the two posterior tooth lines SR Phonares Typ NHC and SR Phonares Lingual NHC, which are based on sophisticated concepts, the company intends to set new standards in the field of denture prosthetics.
Straumann Anatomic IPS e.max Abutment
Ivoclar Vivadent and Straumann announce partnership to provide highly esthetic solutions for tooth restoration and replacement. This Partnership combines Ivoclar Vivadent’s strength in high performance ceramics with Straumann’s know-how in implant and CAD/CAM dentistry
OptraGate Junior ExtraSoft
In order to meet the need for a more comfortable and gentle OptraGate for children that minimizes pressure, an ExtraSoft version of the tried-and-tested lip and cheek retractor OptraGate Junior has been developed.
Contour-Strip matrix bands
The transparent matrix, which is specifically pre-formed to accommodate the cervical portion of the tooth, takes the challenge out of placing Class-V restorations. The typical “U“ shape of the matrix band allows the gingival restoration margins to be shaped in an optimal and controlled fashion. Moreover, the formation of voids or excess is largely avoided.
Multilink Automix
The new formula of Multilink Automix offers dentists a decisive advantage: Excess material can be much more easily removed, while the habitual proven features of the material – high bond strength and good adhesive properties – remain unchanged.
Implant Care Program
Ivoclar Vivadent presents Implant Care, a product program for the professional care of patients during the various implant treatment phases and throughout the rest of their lives.
