Does the sound of the drill make your patients (especially the little ones) feel uncomfortable and anxious?

Changing that experience starts with the chemistry you use at the chairside. BRIX3000® is a papain-based enzymatic gel that fundamentally shifts the way you approach caries removal. By selectively softening only the infected tissue while leaving healthy dentin completely untouched, it allows for a precise, "no-drill" restoration.

Whether you’re treating a nervous child or a patient with dental phobia, BRIX3000®. allows you to provide high-quality care in a calm, controlled environment.

The Salli Saddle Chair is designed to take the guesswork out of ergonomics. As Chiropractor, Theonette Joubert says: "It immediately puts you in that posture and you can focus on your work."

The Salli chair encourages a natural spinal curve, opens up your breathing and improves circulation. Instead of fighting against a flat stool, you gain a stable, active base that allows you to give your patients 100% of your attention without the distraction of back strain.

Did you know that composite materials can shrink by up to 2-3% during polymerization?

While this may seem minimal, it can generate stress at the tooth–restoration interface - potentially leading to marginal gaps, microleakage, postoperative sensitivity and , in the case of large fillings, even tooth fracture.

This highlights the importance of proper layering techniques, controlled light curing, and material selection.

Because long-term success starts at the moment of placement. 💙

EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is completely redefining the clinical standard. By integrating this advanced protocol, they have shifted the focus toward a more precise, data-driven approach to oral health.

As Dr. Kaveer Ratan, from Ratan & Co V&A Waterfront Cape Town, says “GBT has fundamentally changed the way we approach preventative care. Finally, we have technology that allows for visibility and education.”

This visibility is a game-changer for both the clinician and the patient. By making biofilm visible, GBT allows for a level of targeted treatment and patient engagement that was previously unreachable. It’s this commitment to using the best technology available that continues to elevate their preventive processes and patient outcomes.
