 New Dental Products: APC Flash-Free Appliance System and 3M True Definition Scanner for Orthodontics from 3M Unitek

3M Unitek announced a pair of new product innovations, the APC Flash-Free Adhesive Coated Appliance System and orthodontic applications of the 3M True Definition Scanner, at the 2013 American Association of Orthodontists Annual Session.

Designed to simplify placement of orthodontic brackets, the APC Flash-Free System eliminates the flash removal and clean-up step during placement of the brackets, speeding up bonding time by up to 40 percent per bracket, according to a press release. Available for use with the company’s Clarity ADVANCED Ceramic Brackets, the APC Flash-Free Adhesive Coated Appliance System provides optimal tack and workability before it is light-cured.

Additionally, 3M Unitek will debut the orthodontic applications of the 3M True Definition Scanner, which provides open architecture digital impressions. The scanner uses 3D-in-motion video technology to capture an accurate digital representation of oral anatomy that can be exported to a variety of applications and sent to the lab of the clinician’s choosing for treatment planning and appliance design.

When used to create Incognito System Appliances, the scans can be sent to the Unitek Treatment Management Portal for a seamless digital orthodontic workflow, according to a press release.
