A health professional buys new dental equipment from the U.S. Brasseler.
Instrumentation manufacturer Brasseler USA expanded its ImplantPro line of products with ImplantPro Titanium Blade and Blade. The new instrument is designed as a reliable alternative to plastic instruments.
Brenda Sharp McCarson of RDH, BS, National Manager of National Health for Brasseler, points out that scalpers and curers are critical to maintaining and nursing implants.
"Implant maintenance is an important part of dental hygienic appointments and requires the instrument to safely and effectively clean all natural teeth, implant abutments and prosthetic components," McCarson said. "The choice of instrument must ensure that the implant abutment surface does not change during the treatment due to scratches or gouging. The smooth surface of the implant changes to produce a rough surface, which may make it easier to grow bacterial deposits. Another consideration is the selection of instruments that will not leave any residue or shavings on the cutting edge components during scaling during implant maintenance. "
The new design also reflects the desire of dental hygienists for thinner and easier-to-use instruments.
"Brasseler designed the new ImplantPro titanium sealer and curette to meet the demands of dental hygienists for thinner implant maintenance tools and provide better access during periodontal debridement of the periodontal implant environment Improve patient comfort, "McCarson said. "They are strong enough to remove calculus and residual cement, but they are more adaptable and less rigid due to their low Rockwell hardness of 25-31 HRC.
"The ImplantPro Titanium 204S scaler uses thinner, shorter blades and then the traditional 204S," she continued. Four ImplantPro Titanium LTSs (LTS for Longer, Thinner, Shorter) Universal scrapers with slender end handles to reduce tissue swelling and reduce subgingival insertion At first glance, dental hygienists consider ImplantPro curettes Is the popular LTS Gracie instrument; however, while ImplantPro is based on the LTS Gracey instrument, it is a versatile doctor blade with two cutting edges per working end.Although there are five different universal curette modes to choose from, But most dental hygienists will provide two to three support for their implant maintenance tools, and whether the clinician likes Universal or Gracey, Brasseler has a welcome tip design. "
Brasseler's new instrument uses the material that best fits the implant.
"The metallurgical technology of ImplantPro Titanium Blade and Scraper is 6Al-4V titanium, comparable to most implants," says Maxson. "Titanium instruments are not heat-treated at the tip and therefore maintain a low Rockwell C hardness of 25-31 HRC. ImplantPro scalers and curers have a unique blade finish and long lasting edges that are more aggressive than traditional blades and scrapers to ensure that The safest instrument can be used around the entry, and hand grinding is not recommended due to this special finishing.
"As a result, the new ImplantPro scalers and curettes will last much longer than existing plastic and graphite implants. Implants maintain instruments for a longer lifespan, freeing valuable health departments Funds can be redirected to other key products. "
Ergonomics is an important consideration when designing instruments, and Brasseler developed the sealer and curette on the basis of this question.
"All ImplantPro sizers and curers feature the distinctive ergonomic design of Brasseler USA's unique lightweight PEEK handle," said Maxson. "The ideal balancing grips for each ImplantPro scaler and curette are specifically designed to minimize hand fatigue and provide the best performance."
Overall, McKesson said Brasseler's new scrapers and curets address many of the complaints that dental hygienists have on their dental supplies.
"Dental hygienists often express questions about current implant design and cutting-edge design. Common issues include:
Implant instruments are too large for the gap around the implant.
I need an implant like my stainless steel scraper and curette to maintain the instrument.
Due to insufficient equipment design, I spent too much time dealing with implant maintenance procedures.
I'm worried about implant implants.
Someone told me that if calculus is present, stainless steel could be used, but I'm worried about galvanic shocks.
Plastic or graphite instruments can leave residual deposits in the gaps around the implant.
With the introduction of the new Brasseler USA ImplantPro product line, these common dental hygienist issues and instrument challenges have been eased. Key Features and Benefits Solve common problems associated with implant maintenance.
"The new ImplantPro product line includes a blade that is thinner than the standard 204S and the smaller 204S Scaler, as well as four new LTS Universal Curette modes with an elongated terminal handle and a thinner blade," she continued. "All designs are thinner and more flexible than existing plastic and graphite instrumentation Rockwell C hardness as low as 25-31 HRC ensures that implant abutments are safely and effectively shaped without damage to smooth surfaces, as recommended. For implant maintenance / revisits, clinicians should use a light device scaling stroke of up to 30 grams of pressure. The medical-grade titanium tip is safe and compatible with the titanium implant abutment and should not be scratched, contaminated or cause electric shock. "
