Hu-Friedy has added 2 new crown removers to the Hu-Friedy line — a set of upper and<br />
lower trial crown removers designed to facilitate the placement of both temporary and<br />
permanent crowns. The new trial crown removers prevent scratching of the crown<br />
and feature soft, replaceable, anatomically designed pads that provide maximum<br />
no-slip grip. In addition, adjustable hand pressure prevents crushing of the crown. The<br />
instruments are handcrafted from surgical stainless steel and heat-treated to optimum<br />
hardness for lasting quality. Trial crown removers may be sterilized by any manner<br />
except dry heat.<br />

LumaLite’s LumaCool Whitening System whitens teeth without heat and minimizes<br />
the time required for each procedure. The system’s wavelength-specific light delivery<br />
represents the next generation in tooth whitening technology. The LumaCool light does<br />
not require bulb replacement and features a hands-free optical sensor. The<br />
heads-up display allows both the staff and patient to see the remaining procedure time.<br />
Castors allow the LumaCool to be moved between multiple operatories for maximum<br />
convenience and cost-effectiveness.<br />

Pulpdent has created 2 new shades for its Flows-Rite flowable composite. ShadeFusion<br />
restores bleached teeth, blends shades and reflects adjacent hues. Flows-Rite PRR,<br />
lighter than A1 and B1, is the ideal shade for primary and young permanent teeth for<br />
preventative resin restorations, small composite restorations in buccal pits or lingual<br />
grooves, or as a pit and fissure sealant. Flows-Rite has a nominal particle size of<br />
0.7 microns allowing for easy polishing, a 68% filler level for optimum handling and<br />
flow characteristics with fluoride release.<br />

Crosstex International introduces Ultra Gauze sponges, a general-use product using<br />
Nu Gauze sponge material. Ultra Gauze is made of an exclusive rayon/polyester formed<br />
non-woven material that provides almost 50% more absorbency then traditional<br />
sponges. The multipurpose, easy-to-use sponges are extremely cost-effective as they are<br />
manufactured for numerous daily routine functions, including cleaning, prepping and<br />
placement on incision/extraction sites. Ultra Gauze produces little or no lint, does not<br />
stick to surfaces and maintains its shape and texture.<br />
