ContactPro is the new matrix system from Microbrush for Class II restorations. It includes bands, rings, wedges and high-quality stainless steel precision instruments. One special feature is the ring with 'memory effect' – it retains both a constant clamping force and a perfect fit even after numerous applications, thus minimising the formation of excess composite. The SmartView matrix clip guarantees unrestricted visibility and thus facilitates access to the work area. There are three different kits available containing the necessary equipment.

Young Dental is the successful line of professional teeth-cleaning products. The portfolio includes polishing cups, disposable prophy angles and pastes for polishing and removing surface discoloration. The exceptional efficiency, superior brightening results and neutral pH that these offer speak for themselves.

The popular Zooby brand is at the forefront when it comes to professional cleaning of children's teeth. The colourful prophylaxis products are decorated with animals ranging from A for alligator through to Z for zebra. This ensures a relaxed atmosphere, facilitates anxiety-free treatment and creates a positive foundation for the child's next visit to the dentist. Young patients can choose from a wide variety of polishing pastes in popular flavours.

Another innovation is Reflective DryTips from Microbrush. These parotid pads aid in controlling moisture during treatment. They are the ideal supplement to saliva ejectors and cotton rolls, because the extremely absorbent pulp pads are placed on the inside of the cheek, right in front of the largest salivary gland, and therefore keep the work area dry. The pads are coated with a silver film on one side, which is aligned with the dentition. This generates significantly more brightness and better visibility, which is advantageous when working with a microscope, for example.
