Overcoming challenges in processing zirconia and advanced ceramic materials

Ceramic materials such as zirconia are being used more and more frequently in modern restorative dentistry. However, removing zirconia restorations with conventional contra-angle handpieces is a challenging and lengthy procedure. Added to this is the high wear on the burs, especially with monolithic material. In some cases, the bur has to be changed at one-minute intervals. To address this problem, W&H has developed a new product line specifically tailored for these applications.

Lisa Mini from W&H: Speeds up the dental practice

Extremely fast, small, and flexible: Lisa Mini is the racing car among the W&H sterilizers. Thanks to an optimised cycle profile, the sterilizer can process wrapped loads including straight and contra-angle handpieces in less than 18 minutes. For unwrapped loads, it even takes less than 9 minutes. In addition, the mini version of the popular Lisa sterilizer from W&H is fully equipped and can keep up with all the features and functionalities of larger type B sterilizers.

Is one visit to the dentist per year enough if you have implants?

This study once more underlines that patients who do not regularly attend check-ups after receiving their implant-supported restoration have a very high risk of peri-implant diseases in general and specifically peri-implantitis; based on this data, at least two check-up visits per year are recommended.
