Shofu Dental recently released two products: the HC Blocks and Disks CAD/CAM composite and the BurButler universal bur holder.
The CAD/CAM composite is available in multiple shades and translucencies and features optical properties that resemble the translucency and fluorescence of natural teeth, according to a press release. This makes it possible for the material to seamlessly integrate with surrounding tissue.
The proprietary micro-architecture supports high wear resistance, which allows for broad applications, including inlays/onlays, anterior/posterior full-contour crowns, bridges and esthetic veneers. It also leads to faster milling.
The BurButler universal bur holder simplifies the storage and management of rotary instruments. The bur block is designed to hold abrasives of various shank sizes, CA, FG, HP and short shanks, in one base made of resilient, medical-grade silicone, paired with an autoclavable plastic lid. The BurButler comes in three base configurations, 5-, 10- and 25-hole, and five assorted colors for intuitive coding and identification.
The 25-hole BurButler can be used with a short or a tall lid for storing other small items such as implant components or perio irrigation tips.

SAN MARCOS, California— Shofu Dental Corporation, a leading manufacturer of award-winning dental materials and equipment, unshrouded HC Blocks/Discs—proprietary hybrid ceramic materials for CAD/CAM-based restorative dentistry with CEREC—and a new collection of BurButler abrasive kits.
HC Block/Disk is a new CAD/CAM composite with excellent physical and mechanical attributes. Available in multiple shades and translucencies, the optical properties of HC Blocks/Disks resemble the translucency and fluorescence of natural teeth, permitting the material to seamlessly integrate with the surrounding tissue. The proprietary micro-architecture of HC Blocks/Discs supports high wear resistance allowing for broad applications (inlays/onlays, anterior/posterior full-contour crowns, bridges and aesthetic veneers) and faster milling.
The development of a universal bur holder, the BurButler, simplifies the storage and management of rotary instruments. This innovative bur block is designed to hold abrasives of various shank sizes, CA, FG, HP and short shanks, in one base which is made of resilient, medical-grade silicone, paired with an autoclavable plastic lid. The BurButler comes in three base configurations, 5-, 10- and 25-hole, and five assorted colors for intuitive coding and identification. The 25-hole BurButler can be complemented by either a short or a tall lid for storage of other small items such as implant components or perio irrigation tips. The BurButler has been successfully incorporated into several of Shofu’s most popular abrasive kits, including the Composite Finishing Kit, Composite Polishing Kit, Ceramiste Polishing Kit and Metal Polishing Kit, available in CA and/or FG shanks.
