32 AustrÀlÀsiÀn Dentist pro tÀ Àew Àroducts from À9 Pro-Matrix Curve bands New Pro-Matrix Curve bands bring convenience and enhanced precision to restorations Pro-Matrix from Astek Innovations is a single-use solution for amalgam and composite restorations for use in all quadrants in every class. Available as a standard matrix band and now as a contoured band, they are delivered pre-assembled for time saving and convenience in busy dental practices. Pro-Matrix Curve offers a newly designed pre-contoured band for even tighter interproximal contacts. Available in 2 sizes (4.5mm narrow and 6mm wide curved bands) with a longer band for larger teeth, Pro-Matrix Curve brings a new choice to Australian dental practices, delivering enhanced precision for the perfect restoration and greater patient satisfaction. Pro-Matrix is a fully disposable single product system with no assembly or application tools required. Its specially designed circumferential band is the perfect solution for MO/OD/MOD/Cusp replacements. The high-tension mechanism allows better compacting, while providing easy contouring to tooth shape. The narrower front section of the band is designed for ease of use, better visibility and greater patient comfort. The tightening mechanism achieves the required fit quickly and accurately, while the narrow neck improves visibility and access. A toggle feature creates band angulation for a tighter fit around the tooth for a superior result. Pro-Matrix and Pro-Matrix Curve is suitable for all quadrants, for use with all restorative materials and for use with wedges and rubber dams. They are available in boxes of 50 from selected W9 dealers. Contact Luke Soady (luke.soady@w9.com.au ) or call W9 on (02) 9987 4224. Samples available!

Parkell DryZ Blu Retraction Paste New Parkell DryZ Blu Retraction Paste – For a dry working environment every time DryZ Blu Retraction Paste from Parkell (the manufacturers of BluMousse Bite registration material) features a new bright, contrasting aqua blue colour to make the material more visible against tooth structure. It also has a slightly stiffer paste texture which provides better displacement of tissue when the material is pressed sub-gingivally with either acompression cap or cotton roll. Thanks to the new bright aqua blue colour, residual material is quickly spotted and removed with a water/air spray. Dryz Blu rinses away easily and washes off cleanly, leaving a dry working environment. New EthOss degranulation burs New EthOss degranulation burs – for fast, safe and accurate tissue debridement W9 has announced the launch of EthOss degranulation burs, the ideal solution for preparing a defect for bone grafting. The multitasking burs can be used in cases ranging from implantology, periodontal and endodontic surgery to root removal, making them the ideal cost-effective solution for today’s dental practices. Designed morphologically to remove soft tissues without harming the bone, the burs provide quick and effective debridement. Precision manufacture means that the diamond edges do not grab the bone compared to traditional tungsten burs. This allows optimal debridement of the inflammatory tissue – which cannot be achieved manually. Importantly, the burs ensure maximum safety when working near anatomical structure. The burs come as a kit containing 1 bur of each size (1.0mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.00 mm) which are reusable for more than 100 procedures. The kit also includes a stainless- steel bur holder. The EthOss degranulation burs kit is available from selected W9 dealers. RRP is $550 per kit. For further product information, contact Ashleigh Shaddock (ashaddock@w9.com.au ).
