PRODRIVE GARNERS POSITIVE PRODUCT REVIEW IN DENTISTRY TODAY

With a circulation of over 150,000, Dentistry Today is America’s leading
clinical news magazine for dentists.

Montreal, November 12, 2009 – ProDrive Systems announces the extremely favorable product review in the November 2009 issue of Dentistry Today. ProDrive is featured in the “First Impressions” section of Dentistry Today, where George Freedman, DDS, reviews new and innovative products that have recently been introduced into the field of dentistry. The product reviews are based on Dr. Freedman’s personal, hands-on clinical experience with the products.

Dr. Freedman begins by addressing the century-old, outdated design of dental handpieces and identifies the problems with today’s friction grip chuck mechanisms. “The friction grip nature of the relationship between the handpiece and the bur can lead to a slippage of the bur, particularly in situations where additional torque is required. This causes the turbine to rotate more quickly than the bur, decreasing operative speed while concurrently wearing the inside of the turbine”, states Dr. Freedman.

The ProDrive System, affirms Dr. Freedman, “provides an improved clinical performance”. When outlining ProDrive’s unique and revolutionary triangular bur shank design that physically locks the bur into the turbine, Dr. Freedman points out, “This provides positive bur retention, greatly increasing torque transfer and hence improved cutting. Other benefits include smoother handpiece operation and greater rotational concentricity during use. The significantly enhanced ProDrive grip on the bur improves cuttings speeds and decreases stresses on the tooth as well as on the practitioner”.
