Intraoral Scanner
The TRIOS Core intraoral scanner from 3Shape is the most affordable model in the TRIOS line, providing the same accuracy as other scanners, according to the company. Integration with 3Shape Unite software streamlines the workflow, enabling scans to be sent to labs or treatment partners or saved to the cloud with one click. Using an LED light source, the scanner is capable of capturing at least 1,400 images per second; the scans can be output as PLY, DCM, or STL files.

Sonic Toothbrush
The DuoBrush sonic toothbrush includes two different attachments: a traditional head and the innovative full-arch Y-shaped head, which cleans all the teeth simultaneously in as little as 10 seconds, according to the company. With five different brushing modes—normal or gentle cleaning, refreshing, whitening, and polishing—the DuoBrush gives users the flexibility to change brushing methods to suit their daily needs.

Clear Aligners
Prefabricated My LM-Activator silicone aligners are designed to activate mandibular growth and expand the arch perimeter while aligning teeth. Best used in the mixed dentition, the aligners come in multiple sizes, with a comfortable design that incorporates more room for the canines and the developing upper arch and jaw, according to the company. A slimline labial shield improves lip seal, while a lingual shield keeps the aligner in place during sleep.

Glass Ionomer Cement
SDI’s Riva Cem Automix resin-modified glass ionomer cement is formulated with different sizes of reactive glass particles for strong, flexible adhesion to enamel and dentin, according to the company. Fluoride-releasing and radiopaque, with good color stability, the cement can be used with both metal and ceramic materials for long-lasting restorations. Excess material can easily be removed after a five-second tack cure with an LED light, or the cement can be allowed to self-cure for 90 seconds.
