GIOMER Restorations Thirteen Years and Counting

Shofu is enthusiastic to announce the publication of the long awaited 13–year recall study in the Journal of the American Dental Association, “A Clinical Evaluation of a giomer restorative system containing prereacted glass ionomer filler: Results from a 13-year recall examination,” by Valeria Gordan et al. The implications from the overwhelmingly positive results demonstrate the long-term success of restorations with giomer material in posterior teeth.

Giomer is Shofu’s proprietary technology, a surface pre-reacted glass filler used in a resin matrix, developed to release fluoride, along with 5 other ions, and recharge with use of other fluoridated products. Giomer materials have been shown to have superior physical properties, an anti-plaque affect and an acid neutralization capability to help prevent secondary caries.

61 restorations were originally placed in 31 patients using Shofu’s Beautifil resin-based giomer restorative material with a self-etching primer FL-Bond. At the 13 year recall results determined the following:

• 41 restorations were examined from the original 61

• 61% of the 41 restorations were still intact

• Only 3% with secondary caries

Clinicians also examined these restorations according to modified US Public Health Service criteria: color match, marginal adaptation, surface roughness, secondary caries, luster and more.

No changes were observed in 48% of the remaining intact restorations. Clinicians concluded that most restorations maintained acceptable clinical qualities and the overall positive results may be related to the beneficial properties of the giomer filler.

NOW AVAILABLE! EyeSpecial C-II Instructional Video

Since its launch as the first digital camera designed exclusively for dentistry, the EyeSpecial C-II camera instantly gained notoriety amongst leading dental professionals for its ultra-light weight design, ease of use and ability to consistently reproduce high quality images. The clinical usefulness of the new EyeSpecial C-II camera was supported through several field evaluations and it is currently utilized in major clear aligner training courses around the country.

Shofu now offers a detailed instructional video to assist those that recently purchased the camera or are merely interested. The video highlights the main features and functions of the smart digital camera, including navigation of the eight pre-set shooting modes, intuitive one-touch LCD screen, ease of disinfection, instant wireless image transfer and patient ID management software.

The EyeSpecial C-II also has exceptional depth of field range, fast autofocusing and anti-shake capabilities, as well as infrared, UV and anti-reflection filters. It is water and chemical resistant which is essential for infection control in the office. The built-in FlashMatic system provides 4 macro LED lights mounted around the lens, as well as an inside and outside flash located on both sides of the lens. The unique flash system blocks out ambient light allowing consistent images to be achieved every time.

Designed to be extremely easy to use, light weight to comfortably hold with one hand yet rugged and durable for scratch resistance, the camera truly lends itself to be used by anyone in the dental office. The new instructional video simply allows one to become quickly well-rehearsed with the camera and take complete advantage of all its benefits.
