POWERFUL PANORAMIC IMAGING

A compact, wall-mounted panoramic imaging system, the MyRay Hyperion X5 from Cefla Dental (704-598-0020; myray.it) can be installed in almost any operatory. Offering an intuitive user interface, it allows practitioners to capture up to 15 high-definition projections in only a few steps.

Featuring a color-coded labeling system that aids office organization, Pac-Dent International’s (909-839-0888; pac-dent.com) new iMix Grip mixing tips are designed to provide optimal mixing performance and effortless dispensing. These economical tips allow materials to flow bubble-free into the margins of tooth preparations, and are compatible with existing cartridges and mixers.
