Sonendo (844-SONENDO; sonendo.com), developer of the GentleWave endodontic system, has launched its CleanFlow instrument as a complementary device designed as a less invasive alternative to traditional root canal cleaning and irrigation. With the addition of CleanFlow technology, the GentleWave procedure helps streamline root canal therapy for a better patient experience. The device, which allows single-handed cleaning and disinfection of canal anatomy, features a low-profile head that facilitates easier access and a better approach angle for posterior teeth. Sonendo’s proprietary fluid and venting mechanism creates a reliable seal, while the advanced fluid management mechanism ensures predictable cleaning. This instrument also includes SoundCue for real-time audible indication of a good seal, and a FlowView window for improved visibility and monitoring. In addition, the new protocol eliminates the need for sealing caps and depth gauges, further simplifying endodontic workflows.

Endodontic files can easily be dipped in the solution while the gauze simply wipes them clean.

SINGLE-USE MATRIX BANDS ENSURE TIGHT CONTACTS

When placing composites or amalgam, successful Class II restorations require tight proximal contacts and good anatomical contours. Compatible with all restorative materials, as well as wedges and rubber dams, the innovative design of SafeMatrix single-use matrix bands from Medicom (800-361-2862; medicom.com) includes a slim handle, textured grip and improved thumbscrew grooves for added convenience, better control and optimal results. A push-button diverter helps ensure tight interproximal contacts. In addition, the narrow neck and rounded edges enhance access and visibility, while eliminating the risk of injuries to the gingiva and cheeks. SafeMatrix is also suitable for cusp build-ups and as a protective shield for the neighboring tooth during preparation. SafeMatrix Contour is curved for faster placement and tighter contacts. Both SafeMatrix and SafeMatrix Contour are available in two sizes: wide (6 mm) for molars and larger restorations, and narrow (4.5 mm) for premolars and children’s teeth.

DESKTOP ULTRASONIC CLEANER DEBUTS

Billed by iSonic (847-850-0404; isonicinc.com) as the world’s smallest commercial ultrasonic cleaner with a stack transducer, the new desktop-style DS310 accommodates a standard 9-ounce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) cup to hold patients’ dentures and other appliances for in-office cleaning. This helps eliminate cross-contamination risks because the PET cup is disposable after single-patient use. Burs and files can also be cleaned in the integrated stainless steel beaker or, alternately, placed in a bur/file guard for cleaning. In addition, an optional plastic strainer attaches to the beaker for easy retrieval of items after processing. Featuring a digital timer, touch-sensing controls and a color LED display, the iSonic DS310 has an 0.8-liter tank and a powerful 55-watt transducer that provides a level of cleaning intensity surpassing that of the average ultrasonic device.
