Busch presents diamond-interspersed polishers for ceramics and ZIRAMANT series for zirconia
Zirconium dioxide has the advantages of exceptional aesthetics, biocompatibility and stability. The latter puts great demands on the rotating instruments when processing zirconia restorations. From its diamond instrument range, BUSCH offers its power-cutting ZIRAMANT series for dental practice to precisely combat these challenges. The ZIRAMANT series is equipped with three different
special, stable mixed-grain diamond coatings configured for zirconium oxide and various work steps. Identified by the colour coding on the instrument’s shaft ring, the series equips dental practices with capabilities from removal and trepanation of restorative zirconia (shaft ring blue/green), correction of zirconia abutments (shaft ring blue/ blue), to fine correction during zirconia integration (shaft ring red/red). Moreover, BUSCH also presents its diamond-interspersed polishers for ceramic works. Final corrections are frequently needed on ceramic restorations, even after the final glaze firing. To eliminate the need for renewed final glaze firing, BUSCH supplies a two-step diamond-interspersed polishing system for all popular ceramics used in dental laboratories.
BUSCH’s diamond-interspersed polishers
There are five application-specific shapes each for pre-polishing and high shine polishing, with the diamond grit size and the bond hardness are optimally matched to the properties of the ceramics. The desired high shine can be achieved in just two steps, eliminating the need for an additional final glaze firing. For easier identification, the diamond- interspersed polishers come in two colours, reddish-brown/yellow for pre-polishing and light green/yellow for high shine polishing. DA
In addition to the three grits, the ZIRMANT portfolio of instrutments are available in different shapes
Ackuretta introduces NFinity nitrogen generator
Ackuretta has introduced its latest innovation, the NFinity nitrogen generator for dental 3D printing post-curing. Designed to complement the CURIE Plus UV curing station, the NFinity nitrogen generator aids users in crafting dental applications with unparalleled clarity, smoother surfaces, and enhanced strength. The NFinity nitrogen generator produces unlimited curing cycles of 95% purity nitrogen on demand, eliminating the need for nitrogen tanks or glycerin baths and fits seamlessly into any dental workspace. This not only streamlines the workflow but also significantly enhances safety in the dental office or lab. NFinity also optimises the CURIE Plus UV curing process by creating a near-oxygen- free environment, 95% nitrogen purity, within the curing chamber, eliminating the need to use uncontrollable methods like
vacuum and glycerin, which significantly enhances UV light absorption.
Furthermore, the NFinity also unlocks the full potential of Ackuretta’s newly launched and certified FLOW resins. According to the company, with the combination dental technicians can now achieve improved aesthetics for FLOW Hard Splint applications, increased mechanical properties for FLOW Denture products, and Enhanced durability for long-term temporaries using FLOW C&B.

According to Ackuretta, curing in a nitrogen rich environment makes significant differences. The higher nitrogen concentration ensures better light absorption, resulting in dental appliances with superior colour transparency and smoothness for greater aesthetics. Moreover, NFinity users can expect boosted mechanical properties with up to a 25% improvement in the strength and durability of their 3D-printed applications like splints, crowns and dentures. The 95% nitrogen environment also provides greater consistency in each print as it exceeds the requirement needed to guarantee uniform curing, eliminating variations that can occur with less controlled methods like glycerin or water submersion.
