Premier Enamel Pro Prophy Paste
Premier
introduces Enamel Pro, the only prophy paste with ACP (Amorphous
Calcium Phosphate). Enamel Pro creates ACP when it contacts the
patient’s teeth and saliva. The available ACP helps prevent future
damage by stimulating re-mineralization of the tooth enamel.

Suvan-O’Hehir Implant Curettes
Jean
Suvan, RDH, MS requested a new design of the O’Hehir debridement
curettes, specifically for use on implants. She suggested the blade be
coated with titanium, to prevent scratching of the implant surface. The
small disc blades of these curettes can be used with either a push or
pull motion, with no damage to implant surfaces. The photographs taken
with the aid of magnification show the shape of the blade, the surface
damage that occurs with a stainless-steel curette and despite all her
force, Jean was unable to damage the implant surface with the new
titanium-coated, Suvan-O’Hehir Implant curette from G. Hartzell &
Son.
