BIO-C^® Sealer ION+ By Angelus

BIO-C^® Sealer ION+ comes in a syringe with intracanal tips for direct insertion into the root canal. In addition, it presents an innovative formula with modified calcium silicate with more ion release that will stimulate the production of hydroxyapatite, enhancing bone regeneration.

4 reasons to choose BIO-C^® Sealer ION+

1. Resin-free and eugenol-free material

BIO-C^® Sealer ION+ is resin-free and does not cause post-op symptoms. Being eugenol-free, it also does not interact negatively with cements and bonding agents.

2. Excellent flow

With a flow of approximately 24 mm and micronized particles smaller than 2 µm, the product has excellent viscosity, quickly penetrating into different ramifications of the complex root canal system and dentin tubules, favoring the formation of a hermetic and three-dimensional filling.

3. Possible to use with cold or warm gutta percha

Root canal filling techniques that use the heated gutta percha reach a temperature of 392°F. BIO-C^® Sealer ION+ remains stable at this temperature unlike other sealers that degrade at temperatures close to 291°F.

4. Low solubility

With a solubility of less than 3%, bacterial reinfection is avoided as it will not have voids in the canal after its setting, ensuring a homogeneous filling and increasing the chances of successful treatment.

Brasseler — a leader in Anatomically Centered Endodontics (ACE)

For two decades, Brasseler has been spearheading advancements in root canal procedures with leading products in obturation, shaping, and disinfection. Now, Brasseler is simplifying the endodontic workflow for all clinicians by focusing on Anatomically Centered Endodontics. The “ACE” philosophy combines three leading, patented products: the XP-3D™ Shaper, Triton^® Irrigation Solution, and BC Sealer™.

BC Sealer simplified obturation, allowing doctors to embrace a single cone technique without the need for complicated heated condensation.

The XP Endo Shaper is the ultimate adaptive and minimally invasive shaping instrument. Adaptive core technology allows the instrument to move freely and adapt to the canal’s natural shape, reducing potential for damage to the tooth. Not only is XP excellent at shaping, it also functions as an agitator for enhanced irrigation and debridement.

Triton All-in-One Irrigation Solution simultaneously disinfects while also debriding. No other irrigation solution can tackle tissue dissolution, smear layer removal, and disinfection in one step.

The ACE workflow combines the use of the XP-3D Shaper with Triton allowing for simultaneous shaping and disinfection. The canals are then obturated with BC Sealer and a matching single cone, making endodontics accessible to all clinicians by utilizing affordable, easy-to-use products in a simple, streamlined workflow.

Odne — transforming endo

 Visit our booth No. 747 to meet the Odne Team and get a first view and hands-on of our innovative Root Preservation Therapy (RPT) technology platform. Provide us with your feedback and discuss with us how Odne can become a practice builder for you.

Odne™Clean, saline cavitation — minimally invasive endodontic debridement

A cleaning tip as thin as 190µm creates a hydrodynamic cavitation cloud inside the root canal, using saline solution. The cavitation jet removes debris inside the canals and tubules. Depending on the clinical protocol, various cycles of Odne™Clean (30-60 sec.) are applied. Final disinfection is reached with a NaOCl rinse.

Odne™Fill, light-cured obturation — all-in-one endodontic filling material

This is the first FDA-cleared light-curing, injectable, single-component endodontic material for root canal obturation. Odne™Fill is a highly stable hydrogel. It forms a very tight interface with the hydrophilic dentin. Due to its water-like viscosity and the ultra-high hydrophilicity in its uncured state, it can reach the smallest endodontic structures.

Odne™Cure, high-precision laser curing — thinnest dental light-curing device

Odne™Cure is the micro-laser curing light to cure Odne™Fill directly in the root canal — equipped with the thinnest light conductor currently used in dental (220µm).

Odne’s Root Preservation Therapy (RPT) supports patient-friendly and economic treatment, minimizing postoperative pain, reducing chair time, and delivering long-standing restorations. Odne’s solutions offer excellent price value and affordability, enabling the endo leader to standardize the treatment workflow within its referral base. Referred retreatments will become easier, as the initial treatment preserves tooth structure. Removal of an obturation becomes less complex. Transforming the practice network to RPT with Odne enables successful practice building.

The GentleWave^® G4 System

Beyond irrigation. Beyond clean.

The GentleWave System takes you beyond canal complexity that can hinder thorough disinfection and debridement.

Inside the console, the irrigant is thoroughly degassed, precisely diluted, and continuously refreshed. Next, it enters the sealed, closed-loop delivery system, where the system’s physics- accelerated chemistry becomes truly remarkable.

The GentleWave procedure is a more effective way of cleaning teeth, including hard-to-reach areas such as the apical thirds and complex anatomies of the root canal system:

• Predictably removes up to 99.9% of biofilm¹
• Effectively disinfects and debrides undetected and intricate anatomies^2,3
• 4X – 8.5X greater penetration into dentinal tubules versus ultrasonic systems⁴
• This can lead to better patient outcomes and deliver a more comfortable patient experience with reduced risk of complications:
• 6% of patients report mild to no pain within 48 hours⁵ of the procedure
• 7% 12-month healing rate⁶
• Preserves the structural integrity of the tooth

Better Care. Better Business. Better Oral Health.

Specialty1 Partners remains the market-leading solution to meet the specific practice management needs of dental surgical specialists. Specialty1 Partners, the first dental surgical specialty organization founded by endodontists, has consistently achieved impressive growth, now providing support to over 225 locations across 28 states. This remarkable achievement is a testament to our continuous commitment to excellence, innovation, and collaborative efforts.

“As working endodontists juggling the complexities of treating patients and running successful practices, we saw first-hand the need for a truly doctor-focused partnership for dental specialists,” said Matthew Haddad, founder and co-CEO of Specialty1 Partners. “There are a lot of competitors that claim to be doctor-led and doctor-founded, but that simply isn’t the case, and it’s misleading to potential partners. Our vision, culture, and leadership all start with dental specialists. This has allowed us to significantly outperform others in the dental surgical specialty space.”

“Our focus every day is supporting our partners while continuing to build partnerships with industry-leading, innovative surgical specialists,” said Daryl Dudum, founder and co-CEO of Specialty1 Partners. “It’s not just about growing our network — it’s about helping partner practices grow organically and succeed on their terms.”

SS White — landmark accomplishments

Albert Einstein once said, “Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master.” A tireless inventor, Samuel Stockton White, the founder of SS White Dental, meets these qualifications perfectly. A young dentist who started a business out of an attic in downtown Philadelphia making porcelain teeth, Mr. White never could have imagined his little “tooth factory” would grow to become one of the largest dental instrument manufacturers in the world.

From inventing the carbide bur to introducing the first single-use, sterile diamonds, here we highlight some of SS White’s landmark accomplishments in endodontics that have revolutionized minimally invasive dentistry. From the first — ORIGINAL minimally invasive endodontic file on the market, DCTaper^®, in 2012 (formerly V-Taper) to the next generation NiTi file for those wanting to transition to a strong, yet flexible, MI file system, EXACTTaperH DC™ file system was designed with multiple tapers that cut dentin in specific canal zones, while utilizing a 0.8 mm maximum flute diameter for the highest level of pericervical dentin conservation to reduce the chance of over-preparation. Manta^TM, a portable and compact precision handpiece motor, uses precision processing technology to minimize vibration and offers 8 hours of battery life on a fast, 2.5-hour charge. Its mini contra-angle head enhances visibility during root canals, while five programmable settings for speed and torque can be adjusted to meet clinicians’ needs and preferences.
