Braun Oral-B 3D Excel

Oral-B Laboratories extends its advanced technology with the introduction of the new Braun Oral-B 3D Excel, a top-of-the-line power toothbrush that is said to remove plaque deep between teeth, leaving a remarkably clean, fresh feeling similar to that experienced after a professional cleaning.

Key features and benefits include double the pulsation speed of the Braun Oral-B 3D - resulting in an intense, yet gentle cleaning sensation during brushing and a more polished feel after brushing; enhanced control - improved features for full control during brushing; pulsation cessation - a pressure sensor automatically suspends pulsations if too much pressure is applied, helping to maximize the brushing experience.

After washing hands thoroughly, product use entails rubbing a generous amount of the Aquacream in the palm of the hands, then spreading the cream evenly to coat the entire surface of hands. This is followed by rinsing hands with running water and patting them until thoroughly dry. The treated skin becomes smooth, moist, and soft within a few minutes.

For more details, call (201) 767-0515 or visit www.admtronics.com.

Endo Round Scaler Tips

AMD introduces Endo Round Scaler Tips. The tips provide safe and effective ways to explore the pulpal floor so canals are found more quickly. The increased surface area of the balled tip provides a greater margin of safety against perforation of the pulpal floor while cutting a wider path in the search for canal orifices.

The tip is highly effective in removing chamber-accessible silver points. When the tip is placed against the silver point, its vibrations cause the point to expand and contract, breaking any cement interface.

For more information, contact your local dealer or call AMD at (972) 365-6151.
