Media Releases 2007
SR Ivocron
SR Ivocron has been successfully used to fabricate functional and aesthetic temporary restorations for many decades. An increasing number of dental laboratories use the popular PMMA veneering material as a temporization material in dental implant cases.
Virtual CADbite registrations
Virtual CADbite is a bite registration material from the CAD/CAM material expert Ivoclar Vivadent. Virtual CADbite registrations are scannable and can be used for the optical recording of data in restorative dental care with CAD/CAM/CIM systems such as CEREC.
IPS InLine PoM
The new Press-on-Metal ceramic IPS InLine PoM for fully anatomical pressing allows you to create accurately fitting aesthetic restorations and produce consistently reproducible quality in no time at all. IPS InLine PoM from Ivoclar Vivadent is the latest development in the press-on technique.
Fluor Protector study
Latest study results confirm the effectiveness of the fluoride-containing varnish Fluor Protector from Ivoclar Vivadent against aggressive acids, which are particularly present in beverages, such as soft drinks, alcopops and fruit juices. They are detrimental to the teeth of children, teenagers and adults alike. Fluor Protector acts like a protective shield and prevents erosion.
Cervitec Gel
The chlorhexidine and fluoride contained in the new chlorhexidine gel offer double protection and easy application. The new Cervitec Gel protects gums, teeth and restorations by maintaining the health of the gingiva and oral mucous membrane. The special feature about Cervitec Gel is that it additionally contains fluoride. While chlorhexidine fights harmful bacteria, 900ppm fluoride strengthen the natural teeth. This offers double protection and exceptionally easy application: use Cervitec Gel to brush the teeth in the evening instead of normal toothpaste.
New Bleach shades for IPS Empress CAD
The innovative polychromatic IPS Empress CAD Multi block is now available in two Bleach shades for fabricating particularly bright restorations in the CAD/CAM technique: BL1 and BL 3. These two shades supplement the IPS Empress CAD product range and are part of the comprehensive Bleach shade range of Ivoclar Vivadent.
