Space Maintainer

Even though hard drives and getting larger and larger, we dentists still seem to fill them up quickly! However, in many cases, there are tons of files that we simply don't need.

A Good Soluto-ion

Troubleshooting an application crash is one of the most frustrating tasks for the everyday geek, but now Soluto has upgraded their already-awesome boot-speed-up application with an application crash analyzer—and it helps disable browser add-ons too.

If you haven’t installed Soluto yet, you should grab your own copy right now—if you already have it installed, you should be upgraded at some point today automatically. You’ll just need to restart Soluto to get the new features unlocked.

Router Madness

You would think that buying a router is as easy as walking into a store and buying it...but there's a lot of features you need to look for. Here's how to decide which Wi-Fi router to buy.

SnapDragon

From Lifehacker: I like a dual-monitor setup. I also like Windows 7's "snap" features -- dragging to the right border for a half-screen window and stuff like that. For a long time, I've assumed that you can't have both. If you try to right-snap a window, it will just fly to the next monitor.

The solution: Under my display settings, I click and drag the right monitor up so that its bottom-left corner is touching the left monitor's upper-right corner. It's a nice compromise. You have to go through the corner to reach the other monitor, but then you get snap features with your dual monitors. Sure, it takes a few minutes to get used to. But in no time at all, you'll be snapping and switching with ease.

Mail Man

Many of you use services like Dropbox to sync your files...but what about email? Online services like GMail make it easy, not so much if you use Outlook or Thunderbird. Here's how.

Mix It Up

ST. PAUL, Minn. – (May 3, 2011) – 3M ESPE announces the launch of RelyX™ Unicem 2 Self-Adhesive Resin Cement in the popular Clicker™ Dispenser. Building upon the long-term success of its predecessor, RelyX™ Unicem Self-Adhesive Resin Cement, this next generation system combines convenience and easier mixing with reliable clinical performance and enhanced bond strength. In addition, the cement offers well-balanced mechanical properties and long-lasting esthetics. As with the original, the new formula offers virtually no post-operative sensitivity.

The Clicker dispenser was first made popular with the original RelyX Unicem cement, and now the benefits of this delivery system will be available to users of RelyX Unicem 2 cement. Advantages of the Clicker dispenser include its consistent mixing ratio, exact dosage through easy clicks and a consumption level indicator for better material management.

RelyX Unicem 2 cement is the second generation self-adhesive resin cement developed by the inventor of this material class, 3M ESPE. It is based upon the same chemistry as RelyX Unicem cement, the most clinically proven self-adhesive cement worldwide, which has been applied more than 50 million times. Enhancements offered by the new formula include a new rheology, novel monomers, and differently processed fillers responsible for simplified mixing of the two pastes. This contributes to homogeneous results, as well as enhanced bond strength to the tooth structure and to all restoration materials. The dual-cure material is suited for the permanent cementation of all-ceramic, composite or metal inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges, as well as posts and screws. It can also be used to cement restorations to implant abutments.

To cement a ceramic restoration with RelyX Unicem 2 cement in the Clicker dispenser, the prepared tooth is cleaned and the restoration is surface treated. The desired amounts of base and catalyst paste are simultaneously extruded onto a mixing pad by activating the Clicker. The modified rheology of the two pastes makes the mixing step easy, and the cement can then be applied to the restoration and seated on the tooth. Because of the self-adhesive properties of the material, prior etching, priming or bonding of the tooth is not required. The material’s high moisture tolerance leads to excellent adhesion even in a moist environment, and once cured, the excess material is easily removed.

With its combination of proven technology and innovative features, RelyX Unicem 2 cement in the Clicker dispenser is an exciting material with the potential to further improve and simplify procedures in the dental practice. Offering a solution with a variety of delivery options, RelyX Unicem 2 cement will continue to be available in the convenient Automix syringe delivery system for precise application of cement through mixing tips specially designed for different types of procedures.
