VELscope - A painless device that
Detects Precancerous lesions
VELscope -Developed by researchers at the National Institutes of
Health, this simple hand-held device emits a cone of blue light into
the mouth that excites various molecules within the cells, causing
them to absorb the light energy and re-emit it as visible pale green
fluorescence if the oral tissue is normal. Tissue with potentially
early tumor cells will appear dark green to black. Remove the light,
and the fluorescence of tissue is no longer visible.
Medtronic, Scil Form Regeneration
Technology Partnership
Medtronic Inc. (MDT) signed a development, licensing and supply
agreement with Scil Technology GmbH to focus on developing Scil's
biologic rhGDF-5 dental regenerative technology.
The Minneapolis medical device manufacturer will be responsible for
clinical trials, regulatory approval and commercialization, while

technology to regenerate bone for dental implant placement and
periodontal disease treatment.

Delcam to Preview DentCAD at UK
Dental Show
Delcam will preview DentCAD, a new computer-aided
design program for the dental industry, at the
Dental Technology Show to be
held in Coventry on 9th and 10th May. On its release later this
year, DentCAD will bring to the industry the benefits of speed and
accuracy given by CAD software in many other sectors. It will be
able to be used for the fast, reliable creation of dental
restorations, including copings, crowns and bridge frameworks.
A wide range of visualization tools are
available at every stage, including sectioning, shading and
transparency options that allow detailed inspection of the shape
being developed. This ensures that the results are exactly as
required by the patient.
The system is also very flexible, so allowing different design
options to be developed and compared. For example, key parameters
like the margin line and the cement thickness can be varied and the
computer model will automatically update to reflect the changes. In
addition, sculpting tools let the user add or subtract material
interactively, while the dynamic editing tools allow the complete
model to be reshaped quickly and effectively.
DentCAD offers levels of speed and accuracy that are impossible to
achieve with manual methods. Complete restorations can be designed
within minutes of importing the scanned data. The complete design
can then be supplied to DentMILL or another machining program for
the manufacture of the item.
