Dentium USA Introduces the DASK – Dentium Advanced Sinus Kit

The DASK Enables Safe, Easy, and Reliable Access to the Maxillary Sinus Cavity

Cypress, CA (July 2, 2010) – Dentium USA, a premier manufacturer of dental products developed by clinicians for clinicians, introduces a sinus elevation kit called DASK (Dentium Advanced Sinus Kit), an ideal new surgical approach for a simplified and conservative technique for a reliable sinus lift procedure.

The DASK is a comprehensive solution for easy and reliable sinus lift and elevation procedures. Instruments included in the new DASK kit provide straightforward exposure to the sinus cavity, substantially reducing chair time and dramatically decreasing post-surgery discomfort for patients. Dental professionals can perform both safe and reliable crestal and lateral approaches with the all-inclusive DASK.

Dr. Jaime L. Lozada, a practicing prosthodontics specialist located in Loma Linda, California, recently put DASK to the test. “One DASK kit conveniently enabled both crestal and lateral approaches for all of my procedures,” remarked Dr. Lozada. “I was pleasantly surprised that the DASK is compatible with all my implant handpieces, and the diamond coated bur is like added security that prevents sinus perforation. I particularly enjoyed the cooling effect of the internal irrigation; and the gentle hydraulic pressure provided a nice extra lift during procedures.”

Dentium’s new advanced DASK is the first and only sinus kit to include a variety of drills for both crestal and lateral approach, pre-defined stoppers, sinus elevation instruments, osteotome inserts, and Dentium’s own OSTEON^™ Sinus & Lifting material. The DASK allows dental professionals to perform a well-controlled maxillary sinus augmentation with all the necessary components readily accessible in one complete kit.

The DASK’s diamond-coated burs were designed to help prevent sinus perforation and provide an optimal irrigation function. The internal irrigation not only has a pleasant cooling effect, it also adds hydraulic pressure, which slightly lifts the sinus during the procedure. Drill speeds for all DASK drills range from 800 to 1,200 rpm, and 30-45N.cm with the irrigation process.

The comprehensive DASK includes 6 implant drill bits (3 drills for crestal approach and 3 forlateral), 4 screw-on stoppers, 4 sinus elevation instruments, and 5 osteotome inserts. Dentium’s OSTEON^™ Sinus & Lifting package includes two sinus bone substitute materials for both the Sinus and the Lifting kits, each containing different particle size compositions for simple and fast bone grafting.

The DASK was designed to be a universal kit, and can be used as a precursor to any brand of implant. For more information on the DASK, please call 1-877-304-6752, e-mail info@dentiumusa.com, or log onto www.dentiumusa.com.
