Australasian Dentist Issue 89

Category AustrAlAsiAn Dentist 51 helps detect abnormalities caused by deterioration of the electric attachment and insufficient maintenance before use. “this is an advanced function that lets the dentist know if the handpiece needs maintenance, oiling or repair – by indicating the specific issue on the display panel. this helps to prevent the contra-angle handpiece from overheating or premature damage,” Fitzgibbon explains. Not bigger but better the nlZ-e has built on previous nsK models to produce an even more lightweight and powerful electric motor, Fitzgibbon attests. “We have replaced the conventional magnet rotor with an improved version and integrated the water and air lines with the motor. We’ve also incorporated into the compact system a simple non- layered coil that shortens the pathway for heat generating current,” he says. “As a result, the new nlZ-e is able to achieve more powerful rotation in a lighter, more efficient configuration, while generating less heat without reducing the output power. “in addition, the brushless motor of the nlZ-e increases its life span, reduces noise and has a smoother start.” For the dental practice that has yet to embrace electric motors, he concludes, the nsK nlZ-e simply provides the perfect opportunity to get the latest technology with a very simple installation. u HanDpIeCe teCHnol g IMplants Advanced safety features the high-end features also extend to those promising safer and more efficient endodontic treatment. the new nlZ endo motor has a reciprocating function which when used with the nsK nlZ endo 6:1 handpiece allows it to work in reciprocating mode, using the endodontic reciprocating file from Dentsply sirona – Waveone Gold. the nlZ-e can also be used in rotary endo mode allowing dentists to use a range of file systems whilst achieving continuous rotation up to 1000 rpm and torque from 0.3-6.0 ncm. Other safety functions include the “Contra-Check Function” that M egaGen’s world-leading products and solutions are now accepted as successful implant treatments and as the new standards for implant and digital dentistry. MegaGen is now available in over 100 countries via more than 90 distributors and 12 affiliates. MegaGen implant has the largest implant manufacturing facility in Asia and incorporates all the latest high tech to develop and produce medical devices from dental implants, bone grafts, instruments and unit chairs to customized-for patient medical devices using CAD/CAM design and 3D printing. From its beginning in 2002, MegaGen has always been about developing the best tools to help dental professionals achieve the best results for their patients. started by dentists and driven by dentists, MegaGen brands are respected worldwide for setting new quality standards for successful implant treatments and driven by science. MegaGen’s mission is to work ethically and in good faith to become a total healthcare innovator with their motto of: “Developing technology to realize dreams and design the future of healthcare.” And it does so by understanding that a single implant combines an in-depth understanding of human biology, the human function, mechanics, materials, design, and heart. With more than 30 years of clinical experience, the dentists and researchers behind MegaGen products are all focused on improving the patient experience by minimizing pain, accelerating healing, enhancing function, and perfecting the final aesthetics. MegaGen has been responsible for several innovative MegaGen brands now recognized as world leaders products, from the raw material that has since become industry- leading standards. MegaGen manufactures the highest quality, proven materials and uses the most advanced technology and stringent quality control including short-wavelength gamma-ray sterilization of all MegaGen implants. in 2006, rescue ® was launched as an innovative solution for diminished bone with a minimum length of only 5mm. in 2009, the introduction of the Anyridge ® implant system was a game-changer. incorporating unique biologically-inspired concepts, Anyridge offers a new paradigm for better prognosis and more successful clinical results. the significance of Anyridge as a new industry standard has only continued to grow over the last 10 years, making it the global market leader. Although implants are now the first and preferred treatment option for tooth loss, the process remains time-consuming, invasive, and expensive. therefore, MegaGen initiated the eureka r2 project to create the 2nd revolution in implant dentistry using the latest materials and technologies to develop a new paradigm for implant dentistry that is easier, safer, faster and more economical for both patients and clinicians. MegaGen maintains a solid foundation based on consistent quality by identifying the best methods and materials for ideal bone or tissue regeneration with minimal invasion & shortest healing period. Highest quality made with proven materials and advanced technology. u
