Lansdell & Rose’s team of experts can assist.

These practices benefit from regular maintenance and support with the latest equipment. Despite the wide range of innovative oil-free compressors on the market, several UK practices still continue to use compressors that rely on mineral oil. Without regular maintenance, these systems can also produce carbon particulates that can damage the intricate workings of expensive air-powered instruments. Dental Air is committed to offering a caring and dedicated service. The team will carry out on-site surveys at any UK mainland practice, looking at pipework, dryers, filtration and compressors, before offering honest no-obligation advice. With the very best in customer service, Dental Air supplies the latest oilfree Piston and Scroll compressors.

Guiding tip with rounded ends minimises deviations from the canal • Simple & Easy-toUse – Colour-coded and easy to follow protocol whether using rotary or hand ProTaper.

Adequate preparation of the access cavity is a critical step in the procedure, the objective being straight line access to the orifice and the underlying root canal system. Poor access can lead to missed canals, broken instruments and failure. Start-X™ is a new range of ultrasonic tips that will allow you to eliminate interferences for direct access into the canals. The Ray-Pex® 5 apex locator is indispensable for length control where radiographs are often misleading. Since the advent of Nickel Titanium files, instrumentation has become quicker and easier. DENTSPLY’s ProTaper® Universal rotary and hand files, chosen by most dental professionals, permit the rapid and safe shaping of root canals. To give your patients the best possible endodontic treatment from isolation to obturation, choose DENTSPLY quality at every step.

Kerry-Ann Booth has been a dental hygienist since qualifying in 2007. Based at the Carrwood House Dental Practice in Bradford, she describes why she uses the Cavitron™ THINsert™. “I find the Cavitron™ THINsert™ has made a real difference. It’s noticeably thinner than other scaling tips, which means the access I get is very good. I now use the THINsert™ everyday to treat patients with moderate to severe periodontal disease. It is excellent for accessing tight pockets as well as areas that are difficult to reach. I also find it is great for removing interproximal staining. The Cavitron™ THINsert™ really does the job and I would recommend it to all my colleagues.” Designed to reach interproximal surfaces and locations with tight tissue attachment, the THINsert™ is 47% thinner than the Slimline insert.
