New product launches made a significant contribution to the top line during the reporting period. COLTENE ’s innovation talent was on display at the International Dental Show ( IDS ) held in March in Cologne, Germany. In the Restoration product group, another product for the restoration of tooth necks – COMPONEER CLASS V – was added to the COMPONEER composite veneering system. The line of composite adhesive cement products was modernized and expanded. ParaCore, for years an internationally very successful product with a unique range of applications, remains the anchor product. DuoCem and SoloCem, the latest cement products launched, offer strong and permanent cementing in restorative procedures and contain antibacterial zinc oxide for better outcomes. Furthermore, SoloCem does not require bonding like most other resin cements. Outstanding adhesion values and simple handling by dental practitioners are also strong points of this product. In Endodontics, COLTENE is now offering its HyFlex Controlled Memory NiTi files for root canal treatments with calibration marks for easy length determination and in sterile containers. File handling has also been made easier for dentists with the new CanalPro Apex Locator. This tool displays file advancement inside the tooth canal on a brilliant, 3-D color panel with utmost precision. In addition, COLTENE ROEKO also launched GuttaFlow 2, a unique cold flowable obturation system for root canals.
