| New Emerald Angle Comes Packed With Enhanced Features |
| Posted by AM-Touch, 2/6/2012 10:15:42 AM |
 Early 2012 has seen a new jewel placed in the Denticator crown, with the debut of the Emerald disposable prophy angle.
Sporting a glossy emerald green color, this new prophy product fits in perfectly with the established Original Green and Diamond angles, while also providing some exciting new benefits and design enhancements.
Perhaps the most striking update is a 17-degree bend at the neck of the angle, which helps to create a more ergonomic option for reaching all areas of the mouth. Newly added ridges on the bottom of the angle also make for easier use.
Additionally, the Emerald’s cup features ridges on the inside and the outside, reducing splatter and offering better interproximal cleaning abilities.
But the changes aren’t just limited to the cosmetic; a new hybrid gearing design takes aim at improving clinician comfort even further.
Like many new products, enhancements are best experienced first hand. To aid in the debut of the Emerald Angle, Denticator has provided a 2+1 promotion through March 2012. This special is valid for 144ct. (#580014) and 500ct. (580050) Emerald packages. Please use code D-Q112-EM when redeeming free goods.

| The Ugly Side Of Bib Chains |
| Posted by AM-Touch, 1/23/2012 10:36:20 AM |
 Today’s dental office is rife with sanitary precautions. Government regulation, mandatory infection control classes and entire shelves devoted to wipes, cleaners, and sterilants have taught us that there’s no risk worth taking when it comes to the health of patients.
Just when we think we’ve got every base covered, an old familiar standby is revealed to be a dangerous liability.
Bib chains are standard issue in any dental office, used to attach a protective bib around a patient’s neck. Until recently, the most animosity they provoked came from pulled hair and a shockingly cold feeling on the back of the neck.
Science, however, has discovered many bib chain designs appear to harbor bacteria even after standard cleaning with a surface disinfectant towelette.
A study published in The Dental Advisor in June of 2010 tested two common types of bib chains; metal and coiled plastic. They charted usage and tested chains that were quickly wiped with an intermediate disinfectant towelette between patients, as well as those which were not cleaned.
The result found that while “cleaned” chains showed reduced levels of bacteria when compared to dirty chains, they remained more contaminated than new, unused chains.
This potential danger exists not only for the patients wearing bibs, but also for office staff, who may handle used bib chains without gloves or store them in common areas.
The data shows that even after a standard disinfection technique, there is no match for a fresh, new bib chain for every patient to avoid cross contamination.
To meet this new demand, DUX Dental developed Bib-Eze disposable bib holders. The product is simple; each box contains 250 stretchy paper strips that stick to bibs, forming a U-shaped area for the neck. At the end of the procedure, the bib and the Bib-Eze are disposed without dismantling.
Even despite the fact that Bib-Eze strips are disposable, they still may provide for little to no additional waste. Because office staff no longer needs to disinfect the chain, each procedure should yield one fewer disinfectant towelette, and even save office staff time on cleanup.
It may be difficult to imagine a world without those cold metal bib chains, however it’s hard to doubt the peace of mind such a quick and easy change can bring to patients and staff of the most discerning dental practice.

| BIREX Wipes – Value By The Numbers |
| Posted by AM-Touch, 1/9/2012 01:05:19 PM |
 When it comes to surface disinfection, every dental office has their own particular process. In recent years, the addition of disinfecting wipes has made cleanup and routine infection control compliance easier than ever.
While most canisters of disinfecting wipes may appear the same on the outside, it’s really what’s on the inside that counts.
Most wipes come 160ct. per canister. This number will vary depending on wipe size, with XL versions often containing less. BIREX wipes, however, come 240ct. per canister – 50% more than the average.
At a retail price of $13.95, BIREX offers a cost per wipe of roughly 6 cents. Add to this a regular schedule of free goods promotions (often 6+1), occasional sales and bulk offers, and the cost per wipe moves even lower.
By the numbers, BIREX Wipes present a tremendous value for dental practices, while meeting CDC guidelines for hospital-level disinfection and protecting valuable dental equipment with an alcohol–free formulation.
